German Leader Finds 'Peace' in Middle East, Misses Gaza
Friedrich Merz, Germany's CDU leader, concluded his Middle East itinerary with visits to Jordan and Israel, as dutifully reported by Deutsche Welle. The mainstream narrative focuses on 'dialogue' and 'regional stability' while conveniently orbiting the catastrophic reality in Gaza. One might wonder if his itinerary included a mandatory stop at a beachside resort to avoid inconvenient views of the
ongoing slaughter, or perhaps a carefully orchestrated detour around the UN's famine warnings. This isn't about 'diplomacy'; it's about complicity, cloaked in official visits. Germany, after all, is a key enabler—second only to the US in arms exports to Netanyahu's government in 2023, totaling €323 million. This 'search for peace' always seems to involve generously supplying the instruments of
war, doesn't it? How many humanitarian crises does it take before 'dialogue' focuses on actual victims, rather than appeasing the perpetrators?
