      Nowhere in OP’s comment do they suggest that their country has no racism. Perhaps you would do well to go back and carefully reread what they actually wrote.

        True I missread the comment. I thought just the headline including the words “partially suspends arms deliveries” would kind of show, that there is at least some value being placed in peoples lifes and not Germany has not changed at all since the Nazi era. So I presumed he was surprised about there being racism in Germany.

          Yeah, my bad.

          In light of the complete total bullshit that both Carney’s “suspention” or arms sales to Israel in Canada and Starmer’s “restriction” of arms sales to Israel in Britain turned out to be, I incorrectly presumed that like me others would see Merz’s announcement with distrusts and skepticism (given that until now Germany has “unwaveringly supported” the Genocide even harder than the other two countries) and did not actually wrote it in my post leaving it open to a different interpretation.

      It’s funny that you think merely being a Racist or not is the only consideration, rather than what you do or allow to happen because of your Racism.

      That reductive “logic” only makes sense if for you, Morally, supporting the mass murder of children because of their ethnicity is exatly the same as unfairly suspecting somebody of being a “shady character” because of their ethnicity: in other words, murdering tens of thousands of children with intent because of their race, is for you morally the same as unfairly suspecting somebody of bad deeds because of their race.

      You’re making my my point about Nazi-mindset.

        Given that the title of the article includes “suspends arms deliveries to Israel” I was presuming OP was surprised that there is racism in Germany and not Germany is just like the Nazis. Foolishly I forgot that Israeli propaganda loves to equate Arab resistance with the Holocaust. So obviously to an Israeli Germany by sending aid to UNRWA and suspending arms deliveries is just like the Nazis.

        I do apologize.

          Fair enough.

          You’re not the first person who reads my mentions of Nazism in regards to this subject and interprets it as a Zionist using that as a nastier variant of the “anti-semitism” slander to criticize anti-Genocide positions, rather than a Humanist (or at least somebody who tries to be one) drawing parallels between the Israeli Genocide and the Propaganda for it, and the worst Genocide of the 20th century and the Propaganda for it.

          It’s really my fault as I did not make it clear I think this step by Metz is likely de facto smoke & mirrors (same bullshit as what the “stopping sending weapons to Israel” from Carney in Canada turned out to be) and even if it’s not it’s too little and far, far too late.

          My apologies for not being clear enough about that in my original post.
