The ongoing blockade of aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip and the renewed expansion of hostilities are “unacceptable,” Green Party leader Franziska Brantner said.

Brantner said the German government must “make clear its position on compliance with international humanitarian law.”

Populist politician Sahra Wagenknecht meanwhile demanded an immediate halt to Germany’s arms deliveries to Israel, describing its actions in the Gaza Strip as “a campaign of destruction and a gigantic war crime.”

Wagenknecht, who leads the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance, said the German government must immediately end its “policy of solidarity” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

        No it is not. For starters when the Greens were in government just a few weeks back they did fck all about Israel starving Gaza. They also passed two resolutions together with AfD, CDU, CSU, FDP and SPD demanding to restrict academic freedom, freedom of expression, have scientists and artists surveilled by the interior intelligence and embed the IHRA definition of antisemitism as the legal standard, despite even its originators saying it must not be used for legal proceedings as it is unsuitable for that.

        This is crocodiles shedding crocodile tears until proving by legal actions that they changed their position. However changing their position would also require to demand criminal investigations against parts of their current and former leadership i.e. the former foreign minister Baerbock for enabling Israel with weapons and doing business aiding the illegal occupation of Palestinian territories.
