German Gaza Debate Shifts from Israel's Right to Exist to Colonial Legacy
Original: In der # Gaza -Debatte geht es nicht um das "Existenzrecht Israels", sondern um die Frage, ob der Kolonialismus legitim
A contributor to Germany's Gaza debate argues the controversy is wrongly framed around Israel's right to exist, and should instead address whether the colonial origins of the conflict were legitimate and whether resulting injustices should persist today. The speaker claims German state policy effectively endorses the colonial status quo, reflecting a sharply critical strand of opinion circulating in German-language discussions.
Why now: The Gaza war and Germany's official stance on Israel continue to fuel intense debate, with critics contesting the framing of the discussion.

- In der # Gaza -Debatte geht es nicht um das "Existenzrecht Israels", sondern um die Frage, ob der Kolonialismus legitim war, & ob die Ungerechtigkeiten, die sich daraus ableiten, auch heute noch Bestand haben sollen. Die deutsche Staatsräson sagt: ja, wir sind pro Kolonialismus. · muellertadzio@climatejustice.social · 10
