    It’s their choice, but by not arresting him, they are weakening the international rule of law for everyone and basically giving dictators worldwide arguments to use when the rule of international law turns of them.

    I hope it’s worth it, for whatever misguided mission Germany is on about. We’ll just be waiting for the apologies to the victims of this other genocide 30-40 years from now, for another “dark past” of Germany, and hope there won’t be an abrupt overcorrection to helping the other side perpetrate a genocide, since, as we are seeing, Germany is not solid on sensible middle terms. It is possible to both support Judaism and not support genocide simultaneously.

    Hell, it would even be possible to support an Israeli state and protect a Palestinian state if world leaders had half a spine.

      There is a difference between aiding and committing genocide. So the more likely outcome is that Germany looses its special relationship with Israel. Especially if the US looses its.

      Also lets be real. The phrasing they used was that it is difficult to imagine an arrest of Netanyahu in Germany. That can be easily had by him not traveling to Germany.

      The world is constantly proving for one year now that it is indeed not possible to have a nuanced view.

      You can’t criticise a single thing about Israel’s government without people losing their mind and cursing you genocidal anti-semitism. Neither can you even mention Palestinians dying without every nazi and their grandma coming to cheer for you.

      Nuanced opinions died with nuanced and informed media years ago. Now it only about narratives, loud screaming and who can act the most outraged. Welcome to moron’s tribalism in a post-factual world.
