Fuck off, Deutschebags.
They have so much guilt over the holocaust that they're enabling the next holocaust.
"Anti-zionism" has turned into antisemitism. This obvious to anyone that hasn't been conditioned by this particular hate group.
Racism is difficult to measure, because if you poll people they will often lie about it. People will often lie about it themselves. "I'm not racist I just want the government to do something about those illegals. It's about the law, that's not racist!" In this case it's more "I'm not antisemitic, I'm just criticizing Israel... at my local synagogue... because the internet told me all Jews are Zionists."
But what we can measure is the fact that hate crimes against Jews has increased worldwide, those crimes often coincide with events in the Middle East. You rationalize that as being ok because you're in a hate group afraid of being ostracized or becoming a target of others within your group if you make any action in opposition to the antisemitism within your group.
When countries start taking action against your hate group, you'll rationalize those countries as being in the wrong with conspiracy theories, often antisemitic in nature. This is what it's like to be in a hate group. You're incapable of seeing the facts, you think that when people are protecting themselves from your actions that makes you the victims. You feel entitled to behave in horrible ways against people of a certain ethnicity and/or religious group because of things you saw on then internet.
Germany has a history with hate groups. They know what "Anti-zionism" really is.
Always on the wrong side of history, aren't you?
how very Nazi of them.
The fuck is Germanys problem
They're german
They once killed a lot of Jews. They don't want to be seen as any level of antisemitic.
The lesson they learned from the Holocaust was to get someone else to do the dirty work.
They seem quite comfortable supporting genocide, and too weak to at least speak out morally regarding the matter. Say what you will about the US, Britain, and their support of this genocide; within the nations there is a palpable and significant resistance to what the governments are doing to support the genocide.
Where is the German peoples resistance to being party to yet another genocide?

I guess they don't care as long as it isn't Germans doing it? 🙃
There are some but get violently beaten or arrested
Nothing more antisemitic than supporting zionists
fuck
And you wonder why AfD is getting so popular
AfD is very much not supportive towards Palestine.
Thats the entire point, if the left wing party is doing nothing but appealing to the far right than most people would rather just vote for the far right party
It's the "Trump" effect. Many grew tired of the establishment and for some reason saw Trump as an outsider.
My dad voted Bernie in 2016, then switched to Trump. Since then he's slid into the absolute worst forms of conservatism. But it all started because he thought Bernie would fix the system, saw the system as ineffectual, and then picked the person he thought would disrupt the system.
AfD is definitely pulling on similar sentiments, and will end just as disastrously as Trump maybe even worse
"Fascism arises from the collapse of legitimacy of liberal institutions"
It's not about supporting Palestine (on not), the voters and party are more about what's happening to Germany
Aeguably they are not. The AfD says stuff that gets people riled up but they are the exact same neocons dialed up to 11 as the current government. Just even more racist, fascist and transphobic.
it's the 'normal' parties and EU fuck ups driving their voters to them.
As you said, this stuff gets people riled up and that impacts who they vote for
Fork found in drawer, once again.
