Only the cook accused CDU/CSU politician Sepp Müller of constructing a Hitler comparison from Vanessa Emde's statement that people have a right to exist, while invoking German state interests and the slogan "Never again is now." Koch described Emde's statement as legally correct and wrote that Müller had instrumentalized German history with his reaction to publicly defame the politician. This had occurred through the official channel of a taxpayer-funded Bundestag faction. Koch criticized the reaction as a mockery of international law, history, and the intelligence of the population. #Menschenrechte #Völkerrecht #Politik (translated)

U.M. OSINT referred to the debate, which had been intensively conducted again for the past two days, as leftist agitation and a seemingly legal discussion in which terms were being diluted. According to his representation, international law prohibits attacks on or the destruction of sovereign states, thereby protecting their right to exist. This is ensured internationally solely through the UN. Since Israel is a UN member, it has a right to exist; defined borders are not necessary for this. Israel's borders are largely defined by bilateral treaties, but not with the Palestinian territories, as these are not a state. Whether states emphasized or rejected Israel's right to exist is a political position, U.M. OSINT wrote. However, internationally, Israel's UN membership holds. He compared the debate to disputes over the terms "genocide," "intifada," and "anti-Semitism," accusing those who distorted terms of being unable to openly present their arguments. They may not want to explicitly say that they want to destroy Israel, he wrote in a harsh personal attack on the left. In conclusion, he described the actions as propaganda. #Völkerrecht #Israel #Politik (translated)

"Killing as a war crime or as a crime against humanity is no less serious than genocide." Germany, according to Sands' internally coherent demand, must decide whether it understands its state raison d'état in a particular way, as unconditional loyalty to Israeli policy, or as a "genuine, non-racialized raison d'état" that breaks the silence wherever international crimes occur "and by whomever they are committed." #Völkerrecht #Friedenspreis #PhilippeSands (translated)
