    Alright, lets wrap that up, shall we.

    After looking at OPs comments and discussing with him it’s clear to me that he posted this article with a clear agenda.

    If Israel’s right to exist is a controversial topic, I‘m out.

    I have the opinion that it’s not antisemitism to call out an evil government and protest against its actions.

    Getting flustered about Germany saying Israel has a right to exist and not understanding historical reasons why that is the case is just naivety I hope.

      Bit of a double standard though, right? They don’t have to affirm Palestinian’s right to statehood. If not saying Israel is a legitimate state is anti-semitism, wouldn’t that make the same stance toward Palestine islamaphobia?

        Yes. It’s a Double standard. It was born out of history. Namely the genocide on the Jews by the nationalsocialists.

        Germany doesn’t have a special history with Palestine, so they don’t get mentioned.

        And yes, I think Germany should recognise a Palestinian state.

      Fuck me, they’re arguing States rights. Is there a playbook for this atrocity denial or what?

          Your comment contained an ad-hominem on the comment history of the poster.

          The instance you are posting from makes this ironic in relation to the article.

          They are saying that your answer is indicative of the attitudes prevalent of your home instance. It’s a very common fediverse method of attempting to dismiss arguments that someone doesn’t agree with but can’t otherwise disprove.
