      The settler colonialist countries are doing what they’ve always done.

        Germany’s a wanna be settler colonial country, fortunately they failed in WWII. In general they’re just floundering imperialists like the rest of the west.

          They’re trying to succeed this time in WWIII. They’ll likely fail though.

              Last time they couldn’t build a Lebensraum style empire colonizing the baltics/Russia. Helping fascist Isn’treal get away with genocide is only “fair” in their eyes. Colonial powers will see the limitations of what brutality can give them.

    Why does this feel like the stage is being set to declare war on the Hague?

      You know, someone joked about the ICJ finding Israel guilty and setting off a cascade of events eventually leading to… the US declaring that they’re invading the Hague, Germany giving Israel a base to join the attack on the Hague. NATO breaking and ww3.

      I thought it was funny at the time, but damn i didn’t think that Germany would be defending Israel this hard against documented crimes against humanity

        The worst part is that none of this is really a “defense”. Israel is killing innocent people, they know it, we know it, everyone knows it. The only response they care to give is that the alternative is that it’ll happen to them, which is impossible on several levels anyway. This “trial” is basically just the West vs South Africa in a tug of war over who gets to declare right and wrong.

    So apparently this is using some sort of legal mechanism in the court for them to appear and give evidence/rebuttal on the case.

    I really have to hope it doesn’t work and they don’t bog it down for 6 months to allow the zionists time to complete their genocide and destroy more evidence.

    Somewhere I really think these people believe they are on the right side of this. Because even though the capitalist overlords have their own benefits of Israel existing, defending it this much surely isn’t worth the PR drama, right? Like, it’s one thing not taking a stance on the topic like many other European countries do, but to actively defend Israel this hard is something else.

    Same country that is greatly responsible for this “Israel” debacle is doing the same thing. Very nice, very cool.
