Sadly she's probably one of the more moderate Germans from the last government. Germany as a whole, learned the most narrow lesson from the Holocaust and Munich Olympics; which, you would think would be "Genocide bad", but is actually "Israel good".
At least Baerbock has acknowledged the suffering and declared that "Palestine belongs to Palestinians". That's such a low bar but the majority of Germans don't clear that. It's very sad, but what can you do?
For so long anything critical has been labelled antisemitic and sometimes also made illegal. The first news org in Germany to do Israel-gov critical reporting would end up in court and might lose it's license.
Nonsense. She was one of the most fierce repressers of protests and deniers of genocide. If this woman would face trials like Nuremberg she would be executed.
I don't follow German politics that closely, so I've probably missed something, but how was Baerbock involved in suppressing protests as Foreign Minister?
Her comments at the start of the genocide should be enough for her to lose her position in government. It is really sickening and sad. But when it comes to German politicians, I don't know any that are better.
She actively smeared peaceful protesters as violent antisemites. And she consistently said that Israel is not committing genocide.
