Germany has moved to block a European Commission proposal that would have suspended “Israel’s” access to certain EU research funds, underscoring deep divisions within the bloc over how to respond to the war on Gaza.
The Commission’s plan centered on Horizon Europe, the EU’s flagship research program. Brussels sought to exclude “Israel” from startup-oriented funding streams tied to drones, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, technologies that could bolster military capabilities.
The proposal was designed as leverage to pressure Tel Aviv into easing restrictions on humanitarian aid deliveries.
I’m starting to think that Germany might like genocides.
and/or just be racist against arabs or muslims. The UN declaration of universal human rights has turned out to be lip service.
Yeah, I would expect them to be on the right side of this issue after that last time…
Germany needs to quit this insane protection from Israel, I get the national guilt, but this is just setting them up for being even more complicit!
Germany not being on the genocidal side of history challenge level: Impossible
it’s not national guilt. they’ve just figured out that there’s a group of semitic people they’re allowed to exterminate, and that’s the sort of stuff they like.
“I gotta tell you fellas I wish I’d thought of that one first”
I’m German and i hate this government. Screw them.
I’m American and I despise ours too. At least its not just us.
“Yiddish,[a] historically Judeo-German or Jewish German,[13][b] is a West Germanic language historically spoken by Ashkenazi Jews. It originated in 9th-century[14]: 2 Central Europe, and provided the nascent Ashkenazi community with a vernacular based on High German fused with many elements taken from Hebrew (notably Mishnaic) and to some extent Aramaic. Most varieties of Yiddish include elements of Slavic languages and the vocabulary contains traces of Romance languages.[15][16][17] Yiddish has traditionally been written using the Hebrew alphabet.”
Hebrew is a recreated language anyway. Its the only successful recreation/revival of a dead language ever recorded. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revival_of_the_Hebrew_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_revitalization
If it’s just Germany doing this, maybe it is high time to dump it out of the union?
Perhaps protesting this would hit a little close to home and actually cause change.
Why is Israel in quotes (“Israel”) for the whole article?

Because it’s not a legitimate state. It signifies that they’re using the western name for it as a shorthand for what is an illegitimate settler colony not recognized by a lot of countries in West Asia.
Countries next to the illegal settler colony don’t recognize it.
Ok got it, thank you
