/ German Ambassador: Israel and we had military relations for years, I will not apologize for that

The German Ambassador to Israel, Stephan Seibert, said at the "Tel Aviv University - The Future of Israel" conference that "I do not see all of Europe and Germany following Spain and Ireland, which recognized a Palestinian state. We believe that a sustainable agreement should be in the form of a peace agreement based on two states, with all security arrangements."

Seibert added that "for many years there have been military relations between our two countries, and I will not apologize for that."

So Germany does not only profit from selling arms to Israel or receiving HighTech-drones like Heron for the Bundeswehr, the latter is also in the business of at least some German soldiers being trained by IDF in suppressing l insurrections as they do in occupied Palestinian territories so Bundeswehr is prepared for civil unrest under a state of emergency or martial law.

@dhayannada interesting connection … last year I was at a UN facility … they had a new Israeli recruit in their security. They also started profiling people, like they do in Israel. Profiling at the UN. Can you imagine how absurd it sounds. No intelligence, it’s not needed since the assumption is that brown people can be dangerous, or need to be humiliated, discouraged from participation and marginalized. This practices of an apartheid regime being mainstreamed, without anyone considering the consequences, is disturbing.
