    Have I been misled? I thought Germans in general were pro-Israel and anti-Palestine. Perhaps just the government, media and police? I have seen German police brutalizing pro-Palestine protestors, I just thought it was a minority that are protesting.

      My apologies then… I misinterpreted your original comment… I’m pretty sure you’re correct that the Germans in general super support Israel… or at least what I’ve seen in the media or online makes it seem that way… But yeah, it could also be the government vs what the people really think kinda thing… Like in the US
