German Chancellor Friedrich Merz decided last week to partially suspend arms deliveries to Israel - a policy shift he made all on his own. Conservative lawmakers in the country are furious.
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.
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.

I do apologize.
Fair enough.
