After a year and a half of genocide, the behavior of a large part of the German left toward the events in the Gaza Strip remains ambivalent. Where does this stance come from?

Contrary to the claim that phenomena such as the so-called “anti-Germans” can be traced back to “German sensitivities,” this lecture positions the paralysis of many on the German left as a capitulation to the German raison d’état.
