Germans getting increasingly critical of Israel, survey says

www.middleeastmonitor.com

Germans have an increasingly negative view of Israel 60 years after the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations, said a new survey released by the Bertelsmann Foundation on Friday

The report pointed to a significant change in the mood of Germans towards Israel over the past four years.

Back in 2021, 46% of German citizens surveyed had a positive attitude towards Israel. Meanwhile, only 36% have a positive opinion of Israel, while 38% rate the Jewish state negatively.

The German government has been one of the strongest supporters of Israel but has come under growing public pressure as a result of Israel’s brutal military campaign in Gaza.

If the rumors are right that Trump will recognize Palestine next week (we have to see the conditions and what borders), but in any case give any credit to Palestinians... I wonder what Germany and France will say would they go down with Israelś government. Israel, as we know it, won´t survive. It won´t be the poor Palestinians, nor Iran or Egypt... it will be their own population as many will burst out of their delusional bubbles and poke the rest. Germany, unless correcting its path now, will end up the same.
- @edel @europe @genevaconvenience praying they are true, but not likely...
  
  I think it is true, but since the leaks (I have a feeling Israel is behind it), the pressure that Trump will be facing till next week to water it down will be horrendous. I already saw members of his administration trying to reassure Israel, but it is unequivocal that Trump is having a change of heart, probably since Netanyahu's last visit. Now, like in his previous administration that he ordered the exit Afghanistan and scale down from Syria, the establishment completely disobeyed, dragged their feat or simply followed some one's else orders. Even presidents, with thousands high ranking and autonomous working underneath them, it is very easy to work against the President and even go unnoticed doing so... Once could see this as a safeguard, but it is not in this case.
  
  Trump also did a tough man talk for Zelensky and then turned around after he got his mineral deal.
  It is very much possible that Trump is simply trying to get some concessions out of Israel. Unlike the most politicians he is not afraid of being portrayed as the bad guy by his allies when he wants concessions. Because he thinks that world politics is somehow similar to real estate and the long term reputation of America does not matter.
  
  Good point!
- Why in hell would trump do that. He might be using that rumour to pressure bibi to further his own agenda but not in a million years would he recognize Palestine
  
  What goes in Trumps mind is a mystery... there may be even nothing at all! What we know is he care about money, fame and recognition. If he only was aware of the global sentiment toward him would be of all of that if he really became the person bringing a true change for Palestine and global peace... but he is really unaware of public sentiment beyond the US (that he knows better than most politicians here). For instance, I believe that when he said to Palestinians to move out, in his little mind he really thinks Palestinians lives will improve dramatically without any awareness that this is technically genocide.
  
  Recognizing Palestine would not bring him money (which is by far the most important of those three). And also it would not give him recognition from the people he cares about
  
  So true... that is why I am quite skeptical of that potential move rumors say... Now, if he becomes aware of how much, much love and recognition he will get worldwide if he does take moves like that it will be stellar. I highly doubt it since he does not seem too bright.
  However the man does dream like no other and has proven in the past he does not have problem radically changing bands if he sees it as an advantage (you tell me how an atheist Democrat with such a bad family-values all his life got all the extreme right evangelicals mobilized for him)
  
  That's what I said, it's not an advantage in the American political landscape. It's only a tiny minority of democrat politicians, and not even a majority of the general voting public cares about Palestine enough to change their behavior.
  And most people are just in the tank for israel :| I think we're just doomed to fascism at this point we're gonna have to suffer through it
  
  What goes in Trumps mind is a mystery
  No, not really. He's a pretty predictable privleged, sociopathic narcissist who has displayed for decades that he has limited cognitive faculties as well as that he is literally a big fan of Hitler, along with being a literal rapist.
  He does not care about Palestinians or Ukrainians. Nor does he care about genocide - to him, it's just another way of illegally (he's never felt that laws or rules of society at large apply to him) obtaining more land and power over others.
  You seem to be treading very close to apologia for a known fascist.
