The Green party blocked arms deliveries to Israel on humanitarian grounds for months.

Also the resolution uses the definition for antisemitism from the IHRA, which very clearly states:

However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic.

If anything the Greens namely Baerbock have done that quite a bit. She as the foreign minister was in shouting matches with Netanyhau over aid flow to Gaza.

And then delivered more weapons as well as abstained from general assembly votes and most importantly repeatedly reiterated how Germany is one of the closest allies of Israel...

being the strongest on radical support for Israels war crimes and supporting authoritarian crackdowns on dissenting people

That is what you said. Obviously that does not align, with what I just wrote and sourced.

And then delivered more weapons

"Of this, the entire value is accounted for by 'other military equipment'," from the article. Hence those are not weapons, but restricted components or protective gear.

abstained from general assembly votes

They would have voted for or against. Abstaining means you do not fully agree with the resolution, but are also not fully against it. Anybody who is as you claim a strong radical supporter, would never abstain on those issues.

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)

(This list may get expanded when necessary.)

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.
