What an utter disgrace. I despise having to pay for those accomplices to a genocide, and being made an accomplice, too, through my taxes funding this shit.
Against the Israel support specifically? No, because there are constant protests against that moron and his government already. Also his party is losing support so hard that they recently got kicked out of a parliament on a state election. The very first time this happened ever.
But Merz and his cronies being totally corrupt idiots only working on behalf of his rich donors simply doesn’t give a fuck and reacts to any public rejection of his policies with “we need to stay on course and implement our planned reforms!” (“reforms” that are just gutting social support and implementing higher taxes on low incomes so he can do some more tax cuts for the ultra-rich).
That’s the result of decades of neo-liberal propaganda frying brains: If the current (right-wing) policies are bad for you, voting for the even more right-wing, more stupid, more corrupt alternative is your only option. After all –as your damaged brain tells you– everything further to the left wants to destroy the country (or kill you and replace you with some refugee from Africa or destroy all industry because of their insane ideology or… two dozen of other narratives).
Those protests are highly criminalised, of course, and you run the risk of being prosecuted under laws meant for the prosecution of Nazis, if you dare to publically call that genocide a genocide, and condemn it as such.
It’s quite ironic that all this is happening in the name of “never again”.

Are there protests or viable pushback?
All I see is the same as everywhere, either turn toward the right or be complacent with spineless left.

And watch the country tilt right as a result 😟
