I appreciate that only the truly deranged are still talking about human shields. Everyone else has stopped talking about it because it's obvious that civilians don't actually work as shields against Israeli bombings!
Band in Question, Antilopen Gang once put forth they'd fight the Occupy movement alongside the police because to them, being against the 1% is being antisemitic. They also publicly stated to be on the police side in the protests against Stuttgart 21 (a new train station for Stuttgart that sucks) where the police blinded one guy and used water cannons against children
What I'm saying is these people are not what anyone outside of germany would ever call leftists
they are fascist but of the classist variety.. if ever you meet a white west german of Middleclass background (Leherkind Justus) ,assume he is a "crypto" fascist .
You will hear him scream all the "Anti Fascist stuff" , But for him ALWAYS REMEBER : Fascist are "uneducated easterners / Working class People," NEVER actually Powerfull People. And all of his Politics statements "against Fascism" is just a Reaffirment of his german "MIDDLE CLASS" Position.
Germany dressed up the Bourgoise need to affirm the class position AS Anti Fascism.. basiclly .. is one of the brainworms....
i got two accounts on ig banned because i cant help myself from typing this back at stupid crackers when I inevitably lay down dunks on them. Its a real problem
The human shields thing has got to be the most disturbing term to come out of this. I remember in the Iraq war the term was always collateral damage, or civilians just weren't mentioned. Zionists are straight up saying that civilians existing is a terrorist plot.
It’s a pretty awful term mainly because there are absolutely instances of humans shields. Ukraine uses its citizens as human shields, Gaza is different in my mind though because the area is so small how could you do ANYTHING there to free yourself from oppression without inviting civilian casualties?
the most charitable reading possible with some knowledge of the band in question is basically saying Hamas are the new nazis because they want to kill jews, think spiritual sequel
Antilopengang have been sus for years, they've openly stanned transphobic SWERF Huschke Mau in the past as well. Not the least bit surprised about this, zionist pseudo-leftist and transphobe is a fairly common pairing in German discourse, the entire taz and Jungle World bubble is infested with that shit.
If it wasn't for the fact that colonisers and the descendants of colonisers still had the most powerful weapons I'd say the global South should stop trying to reason with our countries and just Haiti occupied Palestine.
No life form comprised of more than 20 animal cells should be allowed to live in this cursed land, nothing good has come out of it when left to its own devices. And yes, this includes me.
The song is pretty far removed from reason and they conflate a lot of unrelated stuff, but there are some issues that they rightfully address: people who openly show their Jewishness in Europe are risking being attacked. Attacking someone who wears a Kippa or torching synagogues is not critiquing Israel but it does happen and perpetrators justify it with pro Palestinian stances.
i'm not saying it doesn't happen but it's massively over exaggerated by the media, and the inverse islamophobia that's more prevalent and structural throughout society gets ignored. Our society isn't systematically committing genocide against jews, it's doing it against muslims. Yet the conversation is about jews being the victims still, it's a distraction ploy when used in the current discourse
Can you provide evidence of neo-nazis who actually justify their antisemitism as being pro-Palestine? Anti-jewish violence from fascists has been a constant throughout the years, including years where Israel/Palestine has gotten much less attention, and to this date the only people I have never seen an actual example of what you describe. I have heard the claim a million times from zionists, though.
The incidence of islamophobic hate crimes in Germany has doubled since October, Germany's anti-BDS resolution and attacks on postcolonial studies are carbon copies of AfD proposals, accusations of antisemitism are used to silence Jewish people criticizing Israel and these chauvinist dinguses are opening up with nods to racial stereotypes about Arab communities in Berlin and lines directly attacking anti-racists. Literally not a single bar in that track was written in good faith.
I think theres some confusion in these comments. The song is criticizing German society for being too anti-zionist, so the last line is saying civilians in Gaza are the literal shields of Hamas and the figurative shields of Germans ("descendants of Jew gassers") to mask their anti-semitism behind humanitarian concern. Like, "Germans only pretend to care about Palestine so they can hate Jewish people!"
Oh, still reaks of projection from the zionist germans who support the genocide in Gaza as if the blood of Palestinian children is the only thing that will wash their hands clean of the Holocaust
Yeah thats exactly what theyre doing. There's some neo-nazi anti-zionists out there but 98% are just regular people rightfully horrified by literal infanticide.
