I heard a rumour that Georgina was chosen to present this because Ben suffered a mental breakdown trying to pronounce "vergangenheitsbewältigung".
No way that's a single word?!!! You forgot at least 2 spaces my guy?
@@Anonymous-yp7cz It's only two words, "dealing with the past"
@@_jpg by letting the victims do the same past to others? Germans way of thinking.....
Thanks for the translation.
@@Anonymous-yp7cz It is not the same. I don't want to relativate the violent actions of the IDF, nor those of the Hamas terrorists, but this situation is very different to that of 1933-1945. Suggesting that there are parallels, for example in the displacement, is not wrong, but setting them on one level shows a lack of nuance and historic knowledge.
@@Anonymous-yp7cz It’s a compound of only two words (nouns), "Vergangenheit" meaning "the past" and "Bewältigung" meaning "dealing with" or "coping", (connected with a "s" that's common for compounds).
However, each of those consists of a shorter stem with a few prefixes and suffixes. If you want to break down all components, it could be split up to something like "Ver-gang-en-heit" and "Be-wältig-ung", where "gang" and "wältig" would be the respective stem.
For "Vergangenheit", we start with the irregular verb "geh(-en)" (= "to go"), "ging" (= "went), "(ge-)gang(-en)" (= "gone"), so "gang" is the perfect stem.
With the prefix "ver-", you get the word "ver-geh(-en)", meaning to "to pass" or "to elapse" or "to go by" (in a time sense), "ver-ging" (= "went by"), "ver-gang(-en)" (= "gone by", "bygone", "elapsed", "passed"). The "-en" is part of forming the past participle here… so "vergangen" is only missing the "-heit".
"-heit" is a common nominalizer of adjectives (participles are adjectives) similar to "-ness" in English, so it makes "vergangen" into "Vergangenheit" = "the past" (so maybe translated extremely literally, you could understand the word as "bygoneness"?)
For "Bewältigung", that's from the verb "bewältigen", which includes a prefix "be-" but a version of "be-wältig-en" without the "be-" no longer exists in German. The "wält" in the middle there is however also appearing in other words like "überwältigen" (= "overwhelm") and it's related to (or maybe the same as) "walt" in other words like "Gewalt" (= "force"/"violence") or "ver-walten" (= "to manage"), and should be cognate with English "wield". "bewältigen" is a verb meaning "to deal with" or "to cope" and "-ung" is a common nominalizer for verbs, so "Bewältigung" is "dealing with" or "coping".

Also, how many people were asked.
Eminent scholar Professor William Youmans, working with the Arab Center Washington DC, has published a study examining media bias on Gaza in the context of Sunday talk shows - including NBC’s Meet the Press, CBS’ Face the Nation, ABC’s This Week and Fox News Sunday. This study found significant “patterns of bias in guest booking, in the range of views expressed by guests, and in the framing of issues,” signifying “an abandonment of the ideal that news media’s purpose is to scrutinize government policies and the actions of those in power and to inform the public so it can forge independent opinions.”

Germany and Namibia...One country was particularly vocal in expressing its frustration with and disappointment in Germany’s intervention: Namibia.
On January 13, Namibia’s presidency condemned Germany’s “shocking decision” to support Israel at the ICJ.
In a statement published on X, it reminded the world that Germany committed the first genocide of the 20th century in Namibia in 1904-1908, in which “tens of thousands of innocent Namibians died in the most inhumane and brutal conditions”, and never fully atoned for this horrific crime.
In light of its apparent inability to draw lessons from its horrific history, the presidency said, Germany should “reconsider its untimely decision to intervene as a third-party in defence and support of the genocidal acts of Israel” before the ICJ.
“Germany cannot morally express commitment to the United Nations Convention against genocide”, or truly atone for the genocide it committed on Namibian soil, it concluded, while “supporting the equivalent of a holocaust and genocide in Gaza”.
In this short statement, the tiny Southern African nation of 2.7 million, which was a German colony between 1884-1919, exposed Germany’s comprehensive failure to deal with its atrocious colonial past, and blatant double standards about genocide, in one breath.
Between 1904 and 1908, German settlers systematically killed up to 100,000 Herero and Nama people following a popular uprising over unlawful land seizures and forced labour in what was then known as German South West Africa.
On October 2, 1904, Lieutenant General Lothar von Trotha, the supreme commander of German South West Africa, issued an extermination notice ordering German soldiers to kill “every male [Herero], armed or unarmed” and displace (or shoot) the Herero women and children.
Although Germany rescinded the order on December 8, 1904, the settlers had already displaced and killed thousands of Herero people.
Georginas pronunciation game is on point
Her ability to present is improving also. She will be as good as the other main presenters in some time.
Came here to say exactly that!
I wasn't a fan of new commentators besides Jack or Ben at first, but that pronunciation made up for A LOT.
It's ok.
shes really slay
Expecting a completely wild comment section.
The comment section: That pronunciation!!! 🤩
German words are such a remarkable thing. An expression that could take a sentence can be said in 1 word that last as long as a sentence.
it is basically multiple words joined to make a word
Exactly @@HASIB1313
There are downsides as we leave out the prepositions between the nouns that are being combined (such as "for", "of" or "with"). In the same restaurant you may be able to order "Schweineschnitzel" (pork cutlet) and "Kinderschnitzel" (literally "children cutlet") - It might be useful to say that the second is "for children" but this is not possible to include. It remains ambiguous and does not rule out cannibalism.
In English we don't put up with such long, combined words.
When we see one of those long German words we say,
"What sort of whatchamacallit is that German word?"
and ignore it.
No, those words don’t last as long as a sentence. By far not. That’s the whole point of those words.

The WWHD (What Would Hitler Do) has been the dominating factor in German politics ever since the end of WW2.
Basically, they always ask themselves "What would Hitler do in this situation?" and then proceed to do the opposite.
Surefire way to make the stupidest decisions, I love it!
Hitler would make use of air, I recommend German politics to do the opposite
Well Hitler was in league with the grand mufti of Jerusalem and Hamas tunnels had copies of Mein Kampf in them.

Well obviously hamas would believe in mein kempf, europeans became fascists to Jews based on unfounded conspiracy theories in the 30s. Whereas what Jews are doing to Palestinians is true,visible and measurable injustice, if anyone has even the slight justification to be anti-semetic, it's the gazans who have been like caged animals for 15 years.

@@rohankishibe8259Holocaust*
Why is this comment section mainly focused on her pronunciation of German words rather than the actual topic itself
The false dichotomy that being pro-Israel and pro-Palestine are mutually exclusive is not exclusive to Germany but I find the notion that a pro-Palestinian position implies being antisemitic much more prevalent in German public discourse. Oh and German here, if you couldn't tell by that unreasonably long and convoluted sentence.
@JG-MVit's not Israel's case. It naturally derives from the demand that Israel stop fighting terrorists acting against it.
The real question is what a pro-palestine and a pro-israel stance even pertains. And the easiest answer to that and the one that makes most sense politically is that it is support of the governments that rule those places. So, would you rather support the clearly antisemitic terrorist organisation Hamaz or the far-right Israeli government replacing palestinians in the west bank. In this war those are the only options you have unless you want to send troops in there yourself.
@MrTomhawk this ignores the West Bank altogether.
Also from the Times of Israeli:
"For years, the various governments led by Benjamin Netanyahu took an approach that divided power between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank - bringing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to his knees while making moves that propped up the Hamas terror group.
The idea was to prevent Abbas - or anyone else in the Palestinian Authority’s West Bank government - from advancing toward the establishment of a Palestinian state"
The problem is Israeli's right wing government, they have made their own bed here.
@@SLDimarco That doesn't excuse the wide spread terror that Hamas did. There is no right side here. Only the lesser of two evils.
Well the issue is that these two are mutually exclusive as of now. Peace negotiations are impossible with a terrorist government and a populous that is overly enthusiastic at the prospect of complete Israeli eradication. And whilst I agree that most pro-Palestine people are not anti-semetic, the reason why that is is because they are delusional. If they actually knew the situation and still supported Palestine amongst all this, it would certainly signify anti-semitism.
the existence of accurate pronunciation in TLDR is such a shock that people haven’t even started a keyboard war yet!
haven't watched this channel actively in quite a while and i gotta admit: jack looks really good nowadays. something about his hair or clothes i cant quite put my finger on it. appreciate the glowup
Not to mention that pretty much every foreign word and name are pronounced correctly. It doesn't really feel like a TLDR video without someone pronouncing "junta" with a hard "j" and butchering every second name.
I just thought, “Guilt” was the answer.
When the title has an obvious answer.
Good for genocide?
2002, the Helen Diller Family Foundation donated $5 million to establish an endowment for a visiting Israeli scholar at Berkeley's Center for Middle Eastern Studies. Following two additional donations, one in 2019 and another in 2021, Berkeley honored Helen Diller by naming its Institute for Jewish Law and Israel Studies after her.[5][6] In 2003, the Dillers donated $35 million to fund The Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Care Center at the UCSF complex on the biomedical campus of Mission Bay.[4][7] In 2018, the foundation announced a $500 million commitment to begin planning a new UCSF hospital; gifts to the university total more than $1.15 billion.
Since 1999, the Dillers have donated over $1 billion via their family foundation named after his wife Helen. Other major gifts have funded the renovation of the Julius Kahn playground at the Presidio; Mission Dolores Park Playground, now named Helen Diller Playground; and the preschool in the San Francisco Jewish Community Center, named Helen Diller Preschool.[4][8][9][10] They also have supported San Francisco's de Young Museum, Museum of Modern Art and Legion of Honor Museum.
The Foundation operates two Jewish teen programs: an international Jewish teen leadership program, the Diller Teen Fellows and the Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Awards. Since 2007, the Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Awards have recognized Californian Jewish teens who are outstanding role models in their communities.[3]
If hitler saw that, he would die 1000 times. He dreamed about a magnificient nation but Germany ended up being ponies.
Because otherwise Germany is accused of becoming nazi again.
There are already certain number of non German's like to call German's Nazi's and any Territories that had before the war and lost the German population of those lands were removed by forced or worse think they had it coming to them because of Hittler and some still have a grudge towards Germany because the damage to there land by Germans during the war.
This episode's unusually comprehensive scope and presentation and its presenter are most refreshing.
Sure there are some errors? Are the Palestinians deserving of any justice?
I am israeli with a german wife and I can say that our cultures are very complimentary.
yep, specially if your wife is a nazi.

Yeah you both commit genocide so you guys you are similar in nature.
In terms of German public opinion it must be said that though many in the younger generation are critical of Israel, its unlikely that they would ever attend a pro-Palestinian rally or the likes (except some fringe groups).
thats true, My heart goes out to all civilians wrapped up in that conflict. But those pro-palestinian rallies are not only overrun by the far right, they also kind of disregard the israeli civilians that were killed.
I have yet to find a side that Is simply on the side of the civilian population. I don't care where they're from. Most civilians in every country are politically indifferent and have done nothing wrong. I don't understand why sympathising with them for losing loved ones is frowned upon. We're all human, you can't blame me for feeling for others. I can't imagine what its like to have a loved one or family member be executed or worse yet not knowing where they are.

Except Israelis have been feeding power to netanyahu for 20 years. Those that are agaisnt netanyhu in Israel are critical for his constitutional overhaul not his treatment of Palestinians. Israelis are not only complacent in netanyahus crime, but a large part of them are active and proud enablers. There are countless videos of street interviews of Israelis talking about Palestinians in a Lower manner then a dog.
If there was a street interview of Palestinians saying this they'd be accused of being isis. When Israelis do it, nothing. Israelis are guilty.
One of the main reasons why younger people seem to be more pro Palestine is that they just see the whole conflict as one powerful white country suppressing the Palestinians. That also reminds them to the colonial times of their countries. And it's definitely caused by a black and white view. The majority seems to be unable to see the interests and worries on both sides, they just pick a side.
In nyc we know about biased media.
@@benfischer6303 most misinformed by bias media. Or care not.
wow! very good pronunciation. well done!
Please note the 1948 is not called the palestine war. It's usually named as the first Arab-Israeli war or the 1948 war. Israelis call it the war of independence. Palestinians and other groups call it the 1948 nakba. For neutrality, maybe call it the 1948, or use the names both sides use.
Also, the map used is a misleading narrative map. Either use the pre-1967 and post-1967 map or do a whole series about the issues of the false pre-1948 map. It shows the boundaries of the british mandate. It doesn't reflect any real borders of a palestinian entity or its shrinking. You can however consider doing a video about it, or refer people to realifelore or warographics channels videos about the subject. You're usually better at getting your facts right.
Bernie Sanders is very critical of Israel, but he wouldnt consider hamas actions as justified. Jeremy Corbyn describes hamas and hezbollah as his friends. I don't know about you, but if your friends are willing to kill women, children and elderly in the name of "freedom fighting" it's disgusting and i would have blocked him from visiting too.

Man I don’t know if you’re just blind but Israel has been only k1 ll 1ng women and children. What kind of half-*ssed argument is this?
@spicyf the mess takes perpetrators, bosses and genocidal neighbors. Great Britian had no Palestinians there with Mr Balfour.
And that is criminal. Giving a land to others takes British Gall. I call it obnoxious bs. Like French and USA play with Vietnam. Sad. Then add the Israeli lack of respect for Palestine. Disdain? Now dehumanization to aparthied, genocide. Walls. Sad no 2 state SO no peace now. And Hamas needs no friends like Corbyn. GB AND GERMANY and USA already fall for the victim situation for JEWS.
JEWS get all our sympathy.
So Palestine gets nothing. I think Palestine deserves what was promised way back then. Get that on. Human rights not genocide, food. second class aparthied. Intimidation.
Sad Isreal so strong it must stop killing civilians by starvation, no?
Kinda obvious after WW2 💀
Good on Germany.
Bad on Germany
How the turn tables
There are two ways to learn from german history: take the lesson of 'never again' and oppose genocide whereever it happens or take the lesson of 'unconditional support for Israel' and support them whatever they do. Until the recent events, i would not have thought the second to have a significant amount of supporters. (german btw)
That pronunciation is on point omg
Nice job of the presentation Georgina 👍👍👍
Probs to the new narrator for how well she pronounced german names and words in general 👌🏻
Germany is pro-israel because of our History. Technically that's a very good thing, but on the other Hand some People are scared to give critic to bad Behavior of the Government of Israel.
Especially because of the Situation in Gaza, it can be difficult to talk about that.
Because People either call you an Anti-Semit or Anti-Muslim. No matter how good your critic is.
For me i think Israel has the right to defend itself from Hamas, but it is not okay how many Civilians die each Day in Gaza. I mean over 32.000 People in Gaza died and the Government of Israel isnt doing much to prevent more suffering, thats a Fact.
Very thorough take, thank you.
But why are the Golan heights shown as Israeli territory when it’s actually Syrian by international law. It’s occupied and Britain doesn’t recognise the Israeli sovereignty over Golan either🫠
To prove that they are not Nazis. There, I just saved you 8 minutes.
There are plenty of countries that have taken a Anti-Israel viewpoint in Europe and I wouldn't call them Nazi's. Sweden for example, Country filled with Gay and Human rights advocating for them like their lives depend on it but then decide to support the most Extremist Muslim countries out there and freely let in anyone from said countries. Not Nazism, Just general lack of braincells
Oh, a new voice, and finally one who can pronouns german words!
I'm curiously looking forward to the next video about italian or spanish politics.
As a German born and raised in Germany I can say: we are calling our FM „Fähnchen im Wind“ witch means flag in the wind because she hasn’t a consistent political opinion especially in issues like Israel Palestine
Damn the pronounciations are mostly really good
"We've learned our lesson" combined with "Still in Time Out, they know what they did". I'm not german (i'm austrian) but if the history lessons go as hard over there as they go in Austria that shame is *deeply* ingrained into people born looooooooooooooooooooooong after the whole Nazi-thing. I don't envy Germany's position in this. (Austria is neutral so we got it easier. It's not like we could *do* anything even if we wanted, our entire military probably fits into one of those american uber carrier jets.)
Hahaha, people don’t understand that from primary school (Volksschule) until the end of your education you are reminded every year that the horrors of the Nazi regime cannot be repeated. Just like you I have had nothing to do with the Nazis and my parents weren’t involved either but we still feel responsible. It’s hard to understand for people that weren’t brought up in Austria and Germany.
Ya it’s crazy how Austria never was “denazified” considering 70% of the concentration camp personnel were Austrian
What do you mean "Austria is neutral"? Austria is supportive of Israel if you haven't noticed
@@chriskappler3321 Neither was Germany in most of it's western territory, since Nazis made for good anti-communists.
@@happyhouse4948 Austria’s support is mostly symbolic and perhaps humanitarian in nature. There is not going to be any military intervention.
It's nuts that literally every political party in Germany is so disconnected from public opinion on this issue.
I live in Germany .Very important fact to know as you mentioned Germany have a Muslim population beyond 5 millions. The Muslim population in Germany are NON VOTERS mostly . It means they don't vote in elections even though many of them are German citizens, and if they do vote they mostly vote for left parties ...etc. The Problem is that many parties in Germany RIGHT AND LEFT ,have backed Israel's action unconditionally even though UN describes them as war crimes. This position drives the Muslim minority population to boycott the elections totally . The result would be that the left and social democratic parties and also the more center parties would loose a lot of votes from the Muslim minorities . The result would be that far right rhetoric's and parties in Germany would become even stronger in the coming election . And Germany is back to the same old fascist history again . Even me as an born Muslim German citizen , would never vote for a party that sells weapons to Israel killing women and children . And I voted for CDU in the past .
You realise that saying the UN described/claimed something doesn't add an iota of credibility to the argument, right?
The UN is basically tik tok for countries.
@@alonbinyamin I understand that you decide to love Israel as a German citizen,even that they are slaughtering children every single day.Maybe you chose to do that for your or let us say for our horrible history .

You should be ashamed .well you never are and you never learn from your past do you
1:14 - 1948 Arab-Israeli War*
not ''palestine war''
They have fallen so low. This is unbelivble.
This video is super biased. disappointing.
Not even a mention that the war was launched by Palestinians and Arab nations after Israel accepted peace and a Palestinian state with the open and clear intent to murder all Jews in the levant and I quote “throw them into the sea”. They lost said war against all odds and now complain about the consequences of losing a genocidal war they started which led to (as any other war lost in history) lost territory and displacement. But history remembers, no matter how much Neo-marxists try to rewrite it
I'd even say the independence war, as both sides were given an opportunity to have independence, and one side decided to take it, the other decided to *try* and take it all away. So they fought for independence and eventually, Israel won. Magnificently so

Germans learned the wrong lessons from WW2 (if they learns any).
What we are doing is „unconditional support for Israel“ - and while that is a good step forward from murdering millions, the real lesson should have been „unconditional support for peoples falling victim to genocide“.
So far this wasn’t a big problem but now we have the dilemma where those 2 options directly oppose each other.
Great video, well done! Just noting that the map you guys used for Germany before the reunification is not accurate.
great video!
People are not more right or wrong because they are from this country or that country. That is the logical fallacy of the germans. They should look at what is happening, not at the labels.
Some are right, far right. I can think of two nations, both defended by the USA.
They only learned part of the lesson (don't be antisemitic obv) and not the full lesson, (don't stand be racist in general and don't stand by while innocent people are being murdered) it's been so jarring being from a region where Germany also committed genocide watching them stand by and allow this AGAIN. they really can't help themselves
@@Benjamin-Outdoors Genocide over Palestinians, hence Israel is on the right side? Far-right? If they are looking they should condemn Israel and another junta put in another state by the USA via coup.
Yes, and if you look at what's happening, it's quite obvious that Israel is absolutely in the right here. And it is also quite obvious that Israel is behaving quite restrained compared to what other countries would've done in similar situations.

@criszisno I don’t, I never said they did, and if that’s what you understood, I apologise for being imprecise. What I mean is that the Arab leaders started the war, with tonnes of help from civilians of course but that’s not all too important. And you can argue back and forth on whether the Arabs were displaced because of Israel kicking them out or due to various other reasons as well, but that’s not my point. My point is that it’s completely irrelevant to the video and if they’re going to show information irrelevant to the video they may as well show both sides, don’t you think?
@@crispychippy8997you don't need to apologise. He understood you perfectly. He's just being intentionally dense so that he could hold his nerative.
It isn't guilt that makes Germany pro Israel.
If you learn a lot about the holocaust and about Antisemitism, you know that Israel is a necessity to gaurantee a save life for Jews.
Oh yeah? At what cost? 700,000 ethnically cleansed from a land in 1948? An on going genocide now?
Germany became a US colony in 1945, that's why.

Don't know about Bernie Sanders, but Jeremy Corbin is indeed at risk of being anti-semitic, so it seems the law worked.
The imperialists, therefore, have been compelled to devise new methods. Since they can no longer force or frighten the masses into submission, they must devise modern methods that will enable them to maneuver the African masses into willing submission.
The modern 20th century weapon of neo-imperialism is "dollarism." The Zionists have mastered the science of dollarism: the ability to come posing as a friend and benefactor, bearing gifts and all other forms of economic aid and offers of technical assistance. Thus, the power and influence of Zionist Israel in many of the newly "independent" African nations has fast-become even more unshakeable than that of the 18th century European colonialists...and this new kind of Zionist colonialism differs only in form and method, but never in motive or objective.
Bernie Sanders turned a Democratic-Socialist exactly because of influence from the kibbutz in which he volunteered in Israel.
i mean he wasn't, he was the victim of a bullshit smear campaign
Germany is on the wrong side of history yet again.
Germany is suffering from white guilt
I assume this was West Germany? What did the east do?
The DDR was very pro Palestine
The Last Ships from Hamburg: Business, Rivalry, and the Race to Save Russia's Jews on the Eve of World War I...
Ballin’s role in conveying millions of immigrants from one continent to another deserves recognition beyond the annals of trans-Atlantic commerce, as the marine historian Steven Ujifusa persuasively argues in his absorbing “The Last Ships From Hamburg.” Ballin’s story is a David-and-Goliath tale of the industrial age. The Jewish son of an impoverished émigré father from Denmark, he anticipated shifts in business trends and customer needs and eventually became the head of the prestigious Hamburg-America shipping line.
What strikes me is that we learn about the Holocaust in school so much, "Nie Wieder!" ("Never Again!") forms the core of our national identity. People know. Then we get presented with media and politicians voices which support the opposite and barely anyone takes to the streets, people just mumble in private. It shows how meaningless this slogan has been all this time. I wish it wasn't.
You clearly have no idea what a genocide is. I suggest you open your history books again or if you have the stomach watch the documentaries on the Rwandan genocide to see what a real genocide looks like. What is happening in Gaza is tragic but it is NOT a genocide and to call it that is simply insulting. If the Gaza war is genocide then what about the Yemeni war or the Syrian civil war?
@@jamese5936 I am familiar with the case of Rwanda. For the question what is or isn't a genocide, one approch would be to take a look at the convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide. I don't want to quote it here in full, the text is publically available.
The intent, usually the hard part, is clear in this case through statements of those perpetrating it. Palestinians form a national group. A. II (a) is the case, so is (b), so is (c) by by destruction of infrastructure and hunger as weapon, (d) might be true through the distruction of medical infrastructure but is arguable (although clearly a goal if you listen to the far-right in parliament), (e) is not true to my knowledge. Only one of (a) to (e) must be true for it to be genocide. A. III (e) then is relevant for our government.
I find it problematic to look at some metric of deaths or deaths per time to ask if a genocide is bad enough for us to do something about it. That approch delays a reaction and sabotages prevention to a point after which it is too late.
@@jamese5936 and perhaps not "taking as many lives" but definitely in the "concentration camps type vibes" situation of the Uyghurs in china
@@jamese5936 Notice how no Pro-Palestinian would know of the Syrian war and how there are more Syrian refugees in Europe alone then Palestinians in the west bank AND gaza combined. They would probably blame that on Israel. The meaning of Genocide has lost all meaning thanks to a bunch of leftists who got their education from Tiktok
Small correction at 1:18
The Golan Heights was not occupied by Israel in the 50s.
I'm french german and living in germany.
This country is so weak politically you can't imagine how much.... And when it comes to Israel, everyone shuts down because the worst fear for any public figure is to be called an antisemit!
Also the behavior of jewish institutions always playing the victim cards feeling unsecure is disgusting. Here every politician embraces the analogy as being against israel policy is being antisemit which completely absurb because both are completely different things. Anyboy who knows history since the end of WWII cannot be anything else than pro Palestine.
There is a big discrepancy between the officiel german support for the project israel and the street opninion in Germany..
I wouldn't be surprised considering the Germans welcomed Muslim's from dying middle eastern countries with open arm's. Such actions tend to lead to a 500% spike in Anti-Semitism caused by a minority which came from the other side of the world and refuses to accept German culture
As a civil person from Germany i support Palestine
As a German I have to say Georgina's pronunciation is very good she should cover all topics that have to do with Germany because with the others I get vietnam flashbacks
How does Germany benefit from being so pro-Israel? The video failed to mention any good reason.
Yes, this is why people think it is about the Holocaust, but Israel is factually one of the most important allies of Germany. Israel trains part of the German military and recently sold us their Arrow 3 technology so we can protect ourselves from missile attacks. The list of reasons why we are pro Israel is much longer of course. Israel is a great country.
Less Islamic terrorism
@@pikapi6993 If Israel trains part of the German military you're on bad hands.
WHat we gain from it is dodging a bullet there isn't a geopolitical reason its so that the jews don't call us nazis.
Oh how the tables have turned…
*How the turntables...
?
There is a simple principle that everyone needs to understand about all these conflicts and wars. Same about Russia. The ordinary people have nothing to do with. The Israelis are not to blame for anything. They have no influence. The Russians are not to be blamed for the war in Ukraine. They have no influence on the regime. No one wants any war. People work hard to try to survive here. People only want to be left alone in peace. That's all. You see Israelis work hard all the time in every place, every city, and every country they go to. We are a nation of hard working smart people.
was one video without any mistakes like usually on TLDR, but you still missed an important point. Vergangenheitsbewältigung might have been the major driver in the past but today this relation has simply grown into a wide spread partnership on any imaginable level.
Science, Culture, Economy, Security, we are dependend on each otger and frankly i dont know many other countrties outside Europe that we have such a deep relationship on so many levels with. We had build the isrealy navy and they now deliver us the arrow 3 ABM system we need against Russia. As we say in german, Eine hand wäscht die andere (one hand washes the other)
You keep highlighting the golan as israeli, even in times before 1967
So many lies.
Eminent scholar Professor William Youmans, working with the Arab Center Washington DC, has published a study examining media bias on Gaza in the context of Sunday talk shows - including NBC’s Meet the Press, CBS’ Face the Nation, ABC’s This Week and Fox News Sunday. This study found significant “patterns of bias in guest booking, in the range of views expressed by guests, and in the framing of issues,” signifying “an abandonment of the ideal that news media’s purpose is to scrutinize government policies and the actions of those in power and to inform the public so it can forge independent opinions.”
Why is Germany so Pro-Israel? because Israel is the only side that is committed to peace. 🇮🇱 🤍💙
Overdoing the fix until it's worse.
I know a certain person who would be very distraught about this
The map shown at 3:08 is very misleading. (from left to right) The first 2 maps depicting the land are from the British mandate showing in black the land privately owned by Jewish people and where most of the Jewish population was settled (the local arab population has sold it to the Jews). Still, the total land is not an independent "Palestine" but population centers under the British mandate. The 3rd map has 2 problems, 1st The land in the north marked in blue was under Israeli control after the local arab population (back then they hadn't identified as Palestinians, that only came up later in the 1950s when the "Palestinian national identity" was born) and the surrounding arab nations declared war on the newly independent Israel in 1947/48, 2nd The West Bank and the Gaza Strip were under Jordanian and Egyptian control respectively, not Palestinian like the map suggests. the 4th map is after the Oslo Accords of the '90s, still showing Palestinian control in the north (which is false, it has been a part of Israel since 1948) and the black land mass in the West Bank is the agreed Israeli control areas in the Oslo Accords. The map is trying to show the concentration of Jewish and nonJewish (not necessarily Palestinians) populations in the land but it is doing it in a very misleading way.
This kind of misinformation can be very harmful to many people and encourages antisemitism propaganda, especially when you present it like that out of context. I hope you can correct that mistake, I usually rely on your channel and trust your fact-checking abilities but seeing stuff like that really harms your credibility.
It's not misleading. It is deliberately completely false.
Hard for truth to escape the propaganda.
Right.
Misleading maps. Denial of behavior. To obscure aparthied. Genocide and in plane sight.
The misleading story how Palestine disappears and Isteali appears. Magic? Sounds like Brits helped isteali take over. Sad for isteali. The use of false narratives to steal history. To dehumanize Palestinians to massacre civilians call it war.
WAR CRIMES.
Germany's Chancellor is named Olaf, does that mean he likes warm hugs?
Following the old roman tradition, there names like "africanus" where common, olaf got his name from the european anti fraud office (olaf).
His real name is muckaboutus.
It means he loves money and hates orphans.
@@chris-lk4ml Well let's hope he still loves warm hugs.
@@jdng86 Who knew snowmen we're greedy and have it out for orphans.
I mean, the optics of Germany being against Israel my brudda
Really informative interview!
Growing up in Europe over last 20 years I have seen Germany mostly as a force for good in the west. I really hope it doesn't continue to allow its horrible history to make it remain on the wrong side og history when so many men, woman and children are being murdered and displacef in Gaza 😥

I wish it weren't so. Israel's security should not be Germany's raison d'etre and frankly this oath of loyalty to Israel in Saxony-Anhalt is insulting.
Israel can and should be criticised for her policies.
Why?
@@chessnut4886 Setting aside issues of peculiar establishment source of legitimacy do you see any geopolitical gains for Germany from that move?
@@chessnut4886 I don't like seeing my country back criminals and I feel absolutely zero historic responsibility for Israel.
Also, an oath of loyalty to a different country being a requisite to becoming a German citizen can only have been thought of by morons.
@@chessnut4886 I don't like watching my government back criminals and I feel absolutely zero historic responsibility for Israel.
Also, an oath of loyalty to a different country should not be a prerequisite for becoming a German citizen.
Shouldn't the perpetrators of one the worst crimes against humanity be held responsible and give their land to the displaced survivors?
Why the Palestinians whom been living there for centuries and a millennia are the ones paying the ultimate price????!!! Because Germans are white?
Europe's sins should be paid by Europeans.
States outside of America don't have a with us, or them position on this ethnocentered dust up. America really doesn't get into such areas based on this type of fight either even. What is happening there has turned into a purely Israel deal so they will get to own it just as Azerbaijan does with their violent imperial manuver.
Then why states outside of America are meddling in the Ukrainian war? The sad fact is that most do as the USA is commanding them to do.
Another question: why is Germany always on the wrong side of a genocide?
Went from committing a genocide and feeling sorry for it, than supporting another group in committing another genocide.
Feel this doesn't need to be a long video
Yes I wonder why
In the USA, analyzing the data:
T-Mobile = $11 billion in profits; -0.4% federal income tax rate
General Electric = $7 billion in profits; -6% federal income tax rate
General Motors = $6 billion in profits; 4% federal income tax rate
Tesla = $3 billion in profits; 1.5% federal income tax rate
Boeing, Lockheed martin....
Large, profitable corporations are paying little if anything in federal income taxes on billions of dollars in profits.
Tends to happen when you are a world leader...
In March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues: “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas … This is part of our strategy - to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”
They want to push the false narrative that this is a two-sides dicotomy between Hamas and the Likud vision of Israel, its possible to have a two state solution without the extremists of both sides.
That is exactly why the Likud will lose the elections right after the war. Look at the polls.
FREE PALESTINE!
