Reply to Germany tells Israel death penalty would be a mistake by misana123

Her exact words:

> "We are firmly opposed to the death penalty, and we are raising this issue all over the world," Baerbock said at a press conference in Berlin alongside her Israeli counterpart, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new right-wing government.

> "All over the world, states are in the process of abandoning this cruel practice, partly because it has been proven that it is not effective as a deterrent," Baerbock said.

> The foreign minister said it was a credit to Israel that, despite the considerable terrorist threats it has long faced, the country's civilian courts had imposed capital punishment only once: against the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in the 1960s.

> "That has always been an impressive argument for those of us who have defended Israel on the international stage against unfair criticism," Baerbock said. "I, therefore, say as a friend: I am convinced that it would be a big mistake to break with this history."

Genocide? You mean against Palestine which has... terror groups with broad public support that repeatedly advocate for the genocide of the Jewish people?

Don't get me wrong the whole division and allocation of land in the region was whack but when literally all Arab nations tried to forcefully conquer and wipe out everyone in Israel and lost and as a result more land was in Israeli hands?

Like idk man I used to be gungho for Palestine till I actually read up on Arab-Israeli wars. There's been major atrocities on both sides of everything, I think that both sides do have valid claims to the land itself but claiming either side is 100 percent innocent and always right is a bad take.

That’s not how the world should work.

Germany has been an anti fascist state for decades. Fighting to redeem itself from its horrible past.

Israel needs to be called out and should be sanctioned, just like Russia, for its crimes against humanity.

Currently, saying anything that opposes the genocide in Israel, is quickly branded as antisemitic rhetoric by Germans, which poses a great problem, in helping Palestinians.

I don’t think it’s far fetched to compare similarities of the Holocaust with the genocide of Palestinians

I have degenerative issues directly associated from that infection. Apparently it compromised the disk and bone. I have long term pain management and once NY state allowed medical cannibals' I migrated off the oxy. Is is really sad there are still states where I do not qualify for that type of pain management and its back to the Oxy. I travel for work so I have a script every time I fly as my meds from NY are illegal in any other state. It only takes 1 TSA agent with a pension for busting pot-heads and you just caught a felony charge for possession with intent to distro as you moved it across state lines.
