because of its Nazi history

Yes, supporting genocidal criminals would indeed seem to coincide with Nazi history

Do you have another news source that's not a tabloid shitrag? Thanks.

The article is misleading. The official statement is that, because of our Nazi past, we have a special relationship with both the international Court of Justice and with Israel, so we're just not going to formulate a decision until Netanyahu actually plans to visit Germany. In effect, this means that Netanyahu cannot visit Germany, because there is a non-zero chance of him getting arrested.

In a press conference, when repeatedly asked to clarify this statement, the speaker explained why this statement is so neutral once more and then said "I could get carried away, saying I find it hard to imagine that arrests might be carried out in Germany on this basis".

So, it's formulated as:

  • his opinion
  • that he's explicitly saying, he's not actually saying it,
  • and after repeatedly pointing out that the official position is not that.
