Support for Israel is falling among its traditional European backers amid its current war and ethnic cleansing of Gaza

It was never justified. I'm glad they're finally catching up to that fact at least.

No longer justified?! So you are telling me there is a point up to which genocide can be justified?!

OP is putting some spin on Merz’s words. Merz would never call this a genocide. However, he is admitting that calling it a legitimate response to the october attack is getting impossible for even the basest toadies. Germany has supported Israel in large part to appease the US. Since Trump is an erratic idiot without morals or loyalty, though, attempts to ingratiate oneself with him are wasted effort. As Trump continues to alienate the free world, we should see support for the murderous Netanyahu dry up.

Yeah, I read he didn't actually used the word but still. I guess it is good to mention, but the point stands

There is no way he used the word "genocide".
