The original post reads, "Germany Turns to U.S. Playbook: Deportations Target Gaza War Protesters." This statement is inaccurate; it represents a misleading portrayal. Many participants in this thread seem unconcerned about whether the statement is true or merely aligns with their perception of the situation. I don’t see why I should continue engaging with the post if it solely serves as an echo chamber for a predetermined opinion.

What is the point of an answer if no one is interested in engaging with it? The thread merely serves as an echo chamber for your opinion. Judging by the responses, meaningful discourse on the topic appears unwelcome.

Don't worry, he can buy a Trump Gold Card, become a U.S. citizen, and Trump will offer him the position of Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues.

Nobody has ever suggested that genocide is a good thing; that is an argument you introduced yourself. Furthermore, you alleged that Germany supports genocide without elaborating on how this claim is substantiated.

Here's the thing: in your view of the world, everything appears simple—everything is either black or white. Protesters are good; cops are bad. Palestine is good; Jews are bad. In reality, the world is far more nuanced.

The world is far too nuanced to be categorized as merely good or evil, as you suggest. Following the atrocities of the Holocaust during World War II, Germany has assumed a profound moral and political obligation to safeguard and support the state of Israel, a commitment that remains a cornerstone of its foreign policy.

Yes, Germany has expressed strong support for Israel during the ongoing conflict, primarily through diplomatic efforts and humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The challenge lies in the fact that criticism of Israel is often intertwined with accusations of anti-Semitism. Germany finds itself in a delicate position: on one hand, it has pledged unwavering support to the state of Israel; on the other hand, it must uphold the right to dissent and allow protests against Israeli policies.
