    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.
