Summary
Elon Musk’s address to Germany’s far-right AfD party, where he downplayed Germany’s Nazi past and criticized multiculturalism, has sparked global alarm.
Halie Soifer, CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, called the remarks “incredibly dangerous,” warning of their potential to embolden right-wing extremists and threaten Jewish security worldwide.
Critics highlighted Musk’s alignment with far-right ideologies, including his Nazi salutes at Trump’s inauguration.
That’s a really good episode. Honestly, watching how fanatically pro Israel and anti Palestinians the Germans have been during this genocide you’d think deNazification never happened.
Hello I’m German and I would like you to stop grouping all of us together. The debate about Israel and Palestine in combination with the AFD caused huge rift in our society and comments like this just stokes the flames for fascist like the AFD.
Many Germans are aware about whats happening in Palestine and are in open protest.
So please stop.
Ok I am sorry if I upset you and I know it’s wrong to generalize given that there are many Germans opposed to what’s going on but your government, police, media and cultural institutions have been so brazen in how they are white washing genocide, oppressing protests and dissent while dehumanising Palestinians. Seeing Germany’s official support for Israel in the ICJ while sending them weapons to kill civilians is disgusting.
It really does seem that the lesson learned from the world war was that it’s OK for Israel to commit a genocide because “we did it to them”
