The curse the Germans have brought upon themselves

Friedrich Merz, Chancellor of the German, has become a deeply unpopular figure both inside and beyond Germany’s borders. Few people in the world now doubt Germany’s complicity in the Zionist genocide in Gaza. Yet some rightly argue that Berlin’s support for Netanyahu’s ongoing atrocities in the Gaza Strip has gone beyond mere complicity and has become a form of “synergy.”

This synergy manifests itself across three dimensions: military-security, political, and propaganda.

On the military-security front, the Ramstein air base in Germany has been repeatedly and continuously used as a command hub for U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Palestine and other parts of the region.

On the political front, the reality is even more bitter: all parties in Germany’s coalition government—particularly the Social Democrats and Christian Democrats—have aligned themselves with the genocide of Palestinians and the continuation of the inhumane starvation policy in Gaza, behaving as if they are members of Netanyahu’s own cabinet. The cruelty of German politicians in perpetuating the catastrophe in Gaza is no less—if not more—than that of figures like Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and Smotrich.

In the propaganda and media sphere, the slaughter of over 60,000 Palestinians is justified under the euphemism of “legitimate self-defense.” Both the current and former German chancellors have shared the same position—insisting on the “legitimacy” of the genocide and embedding it into the editorial lines of media outlets linked to political factions in Germany. What unites Olaf Scholz and Friedrich Merz is certainly not a minimum sense of humanity or even competence in governance—the only real link between them is their insistence on portraying the Zionist genocide in Gaza as legitimate, and nothing else.

Ironically, at the very moment Europeans claimed to be returning to civilization at the dawn of the third millennium, the past and present governments in Berlin have purchased an eternal curse upon themselves and their nation—one that will never fade. Recently, Germany’s Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office announced it had received over a thousand complaints in less than a week against the German chancellor, accusing him of complicity in the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza.

This alone reflects the depth of the catastrophe the Germans have unleashed in the region and the world. The “identification” between the German chancellor and the Israeli prime minister has become so apparent that even some of Merz’s fellow party members have warned him about the consequences.

But for the German politicians backing Zionist terrorism, it is already far too late. Without doubt, every action in today’s world and international system has a reaction. It will not be long before the Germans face the consequences of their synergy with the accursed Zionist regime in the killing of tens of thousands of innocent people. But by then, it will be far too late to undo the damage.
