The state's commitment to the murderous Netanyahu regime outstrips its dedication to preserving democracy at home

Berlin’s backing for Israel in the current context has irrevocably ruined Germany’s international standing.

At the same time, as a result of Germany’s neoliberal restructuring, processes of de-democratisation have been ongoing for years.

The deliberate erosion of democracy has paved the way not only for the selective application of international law, but also for the restriction of fundamental rights within Germany itself.

The German population is firmly against their country’s participation in the extermination of the Palestinian people. In a recent poll, 73 percent said they had a negative view of Israel, while 80 percent have rejected further weapons exports to Israel. Despite this, German arms export licenses to Israel have surged, enabling the state to continue committing war crimes.

While the German government’s blatant disregard for the will of its own people already points to a process of de-democratisation, this is exacerbated by domestic restrictions on fundamental rights, including freedom of assembly, freedom of opinion and speech, and academic freedom, alongside violations of due process - all in the service of the Zionist slaughterers.

    The same exists in Australia

    We’re actually holding a RC into antisemitism, it’s that bad

    Around 80-85% of us disapprove of Zionist cunts but the federal government will not hear us of course.

    Australia is spiralling down the drain as well with all this shit. I have a genuine concern for our sovereignty, if it exists at all.

            It’s an inquiry held by a Kings Commissioner, it’s done by representatives of the crown so outside of parliament but within the functions of government.

            I actually said Queen at first, it’s still difficult to get used to that change

              Interesting that they are appointed by the executive. That might be a problem if their job is to find government misconduct. My country has something similar, called a Parliamentary Inquiry Committee - but they are appointed by parliament, because it’s parliament that’s supposed to check the government’s doings.
