Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).
Rules:
1. No Bigotry or Hate Speech
Any forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it.
Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.
2. No Zionism
Any forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism.
Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.
Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.
3. Stay Civil
Please maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.
4. No Misinformation
Spreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.
Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.
5. No AI Content
Please do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.
Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

The goal is simple: Kill all Palestinians. If you did not realize this before, you have been ignoring reality.
Genocide Mr. Chancellor, genocide is what Isreal is doing in Gaza.
Liar you always knew
The goal in Gaza is incredibly clear, as it always has been.
Merz is possibly being honest about not understanding it (although I somewhat doubt he's that naive). If he doesn't understand it, it is because anyone that tries to talk sense to him, he calls "antisemitism" and tries to deport them.
It's been clear for decades now
*and succeeds.
doesn't want ordinary European citizens to support the current German government.
For anyone who's curious about what this is about: https://ponder.cat/post/3033529/3291214
That argument is hilarious. "Polish antisemites assisted the Holocaust."
"YOU WANT TO BLAME A SUBJUGATED PEOPLE FOR YOUR OWN GENOCIDE"
No, mate, pointing out that parts of the Polish population gladly turned in Jews and participated in killings does not diminish the responsibility of Germans, it just drags Poles out of the "We were just Victims, no Pole ever did something bad during WW2" narrative.
It's not even that. Going one step further back, he is saying that all these crazy Germans / Israelis are now trying to say that Poland did the holocaust and the Germans were just helpers. When I got confused and said mate, no one is saying that, that was when he started this whole conversation where people including me who were pointing out Polish antisemitism were actually saying that other thing, and daring me to find some quotes meeting his criteria to try to prove to him that that wasn't going on.
It's very weird. Like I say in the punchline I linked to, I have some subtle theories about why a person would do something like that, because it's hard to see a good reason for it on the surface.
Total annexation had been the stated goal from the start.
It has been the goal ever since Zionists forced themselves into global politics during the reperations of WW2.
It's manifest destiny
