    Germany has been the biggest disappointment in the Israel fiasco.

    Biden and Americas shit response is expected, but Germany is straight up eager and wanting to defend genocide.

      To be fair, they're in a bad spot and I wouldn't wanna be a diplomat for Germany right now. That said, it's crazy that they're even refusing to say that they would arrest Netanyahu and his cronies if shit comes to shove.

      Germany was one of the big proponents that made The Hague as an institution happen. Now they're saying "It's not for us to make a judgment" and they would be right. You can pledge to arrest them and the ICC will do their job. Fulfilling a warrant doesn't make you the judge.
