In a very volatile Middle East and especially on deutscher Boden, any leader should choose their words very carefully. True, Palestinians have suffered at the hands of Israeli terror groups, the Nakba remembered and dozens of villages razed to the ground. Palestinians to this day are losing their homes to foreign Israeli settlers, murdering innocent Palestinian youths on a daily basis, hate speech in the media and in Jerusalem politics. Never make any reference to the German extermination camps by the Nazis of Hitler and his most inhumane deeds causing tens of millions of deaths across Europe. The genocide of Jews was deliberate and the worst atrocity on German soil. Lower the tone of revulsion towards the Palestinian cause, nearly 75 years under occupation. Will mankind never learn? Will the Israelis too do some serious soul searching?

Das hört die deutsche Politik, Israels Unterstützer nicht gerne
@btselem @amnesty und Palästinenser sagen deutlich #ApartheidIsrael . Die ethnische Säuberung gegen die Palästinenser ist das Ziel des Zionismus in Palästina. #Nakba [_link]
