German leftists are so incapable of separating Judaism and Israel that their heads practically explode when Israel does something bad, and then they end up stickering over a sticker than just says ‘free Palestine’ with a fucked up sticker saying ‘antifa means supporting Israel’ and think they’re somehow still leftist.

Like imagine your supposed principles being so malleable and your critical thinking so lacking that when a notably really right wing government commits genocide you have to pretend that’s compatible with antifascism because you can’t conceive of Israel as separate to Judaism.

#like normally it is really very obvious that conflating Judaism and Israel is in fact antisemitic #but this situation proves that they never actually believed that #which is y’know. a notable element of German antisemitism.#(that Germans pretend doesn’t exist.)#(by which I mean they pretend German antisemitism doesn’t exist)#they pretend it’s a) only the afd b) those damn Muslims importing it #that’s it.#they can’t even confront their own antisemitism and thus certainly can’t even begin to address it #just send more weapons to Israel and don’t think about things #Barf barf barf barf barf #idk it’s almost like bc there’s a very obvious opponent in the AFD #German antifa just haven’t had to think critically about like… anything.#so when an issue isn’t ’protest the AFD’ they just don’t know what to do #and I think some of them are genuinely so ignorant that if they afd said solar power was good #they would immediately start protesting against solar power and calling it fascist #they’re THAT fucking bad #not all blah blah blah #sure some are prepared to go against the others #but at the IWD protest I went to it was really fucking notable that everyone who mentioned solidarity w/ Palestinian women in their speech #spoke German with the accents of other languages.
