German public opinion has shifted dramatically against Israel, with 57% now holding a negative view of the country following its military actions in Gaza, according to a new survey released Friday.

The poll by Allensbach research institute for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper marks a striking reversal from 2022, when only 23% expressed negative views of Israel.

The survey found growing concerns about Israel's military attacks, with 65% of Germans considering Israel's actions in Gaza “inappropriate.” Only 13% voiced support for the military campaign.

In a particularly notable finding, 73% of respondents indicated they saw “some truth” in the statement that Israel's actions in Gaza constitute “genocide,” while only 9% explicitly rejected this characterization.

Erm, not just Germans. I would suggest the majority of Europeans that understand right from wrong.

Sure, but Germans are usually fully on board with literally anything Israel does. Denazification was a pathetic failure and Germans, as a group, mostly think that the problem with the holocaust is that the victims were Jewish. If even the German public is turning against Israel they're probably running out of time.

But the germans are usually the last ones to do so. The fact that the apartheid regime is losing favorability in Germany is basically a death knell
