You mean its Nazi present?
because of its Nazi history
Yes, supporting genocidal criminals would indeed seem to coincide with Nazi history
shared values
Do you have another news source that’s not a tabloid shitrag? Thanks.
The article is misleading. The official statement is that, because of our Nazi past, we have a special relationship with both the international Court of Justice and with Israel, so we’re just not going to formulate a decision until Netanyahu actually plans to visit Germany. In effect, this means that Netanyahu cannot visit Germany, because there is a non-zero chance of him getting arrested.
In a press conference, when repeatedly asked to clarify this statement, the speaker explained why this statement is so neutral once more and then said “I could get carried away, saying I find it hard to imagine that arrests might be carried out in Germany on this basis”.
So, it’s formulated as:
- his opinion
- that he’s explicitly saying, he’s not actually saying it,
- and after repeatedly pointing out that the official position is not that.
