«German senior civil servant manager described a “climate of fear” within the civil service that the manager had “never experienced anything like in 15 years”.
After internal complaints to ministers about supporting Israel’s war crimes dating from back in October, the manager was warned against talking about it.»
Annalena Baerbock had publicly called for Assange’s “immediate release” but internal emails in her German FM from May 2023 reveal that they tried to weaken the WikiLeaks co-founder legal position – insisting he should not be labeled a “journalist.”
So, although the Federal Foreign Office knew how important the term "journalist" was for Assange's release, it should be avoided – hurdles for judges to convict a journalist under the American Espionage Act relatively high.

Israel is still more humane than the Palestinians, even when raping them. At least, this is what this German politician of the Free Democratic Party says in the latest edition of “Sick and Racist German Politicians.” According to this woman, Israel being a “constitutional state” makes all its war crimes, whatever they may be, “more humane.” She can frequently be seen protesting against Palestinians on Berlin’s streets.

Germany’s Commissioner for Human Rights isn’t able to name a single war crime Israel committed in the past year. Germany’s Human Rights Commissioner, hard at work it seems.
Germany, almost always on the wrong side of history
No state has been as assiduous in attacking the Palestine solidarity movement and supporting Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza as Germany
In short, German authorities know what Israel is doing – they know that their ally is committing another Holocaust. They are simply trying to cast this as normal, just and inevitable, because they have done the same several times over in their not-so-distant history

Only in Germany will attending a pro-Palestinian protest get you stripped of your German citizenship.
At least that’s what the country’s leading party, the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) headed by Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz, now vows to implement as new elections draw near.
Germany is trying to out-do Trump !
@foufoutos <sarcasm>Oh don't worry</sarcasm>, there's Dutch politicians who would like to do similar things, so it's not just Germany.
@foufoutos Germany is torching its reputation almost as quickly as Israel is.
@foufoutos Wild how he starts his argument with an allusion to "serious crimes", and then immediately brings up "waving Palestinian flags" lol. What a maniac.
@foufoutos so, I guess denazification was never a real thing in Germany, or Austria too I guess...
You know what they say, yeah sure Hitler was bad, but he build the roads
