Close. French fries were renamed because France refused to join the Iraq war, stating they looked at the intelligence and didn’t see evidence of WMDs. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said that this was “Old Europe” talking and that the Eastern European countries were more willing to join the war.

Collective Responsibility is what Israel has been arguing to justify violence against Palestinian civilians for literally decades.
Hey don’t blame Muslims for this. Trump was so unpopular he got 3rd place among Muslim voters. Those who voted for him have been ostracized by the community.
“I asked the hit man to not carry out what I ordered and he said no. But of course I’m still paying him. See how powerless I am?”
IBM had a role in the holocaust. Those numbers tattooed on everyone in the concentration camp? Those were IBM ID numbers for the punch cards.
If IBM staff protested about their role, it’s been lost to history. But it’s repeating today with Gaza and the staff who speak out are being demonized. Israel’s Lavender AI is being used to kill civilians. History will prove this woman and the other employees right in the end.
The IDF uses plenty of Microsoft technology including Azure. The details of Lavender are classified.

Because Trump is getting demented. This is all his idea
Not at all what I believe but you’re looking for some kind of excuse to dismiss what I’m saying. I find that it’s always the excuse by Zionists on this sub when an atrocity is pointed out that they support, “it’s complicated,” as if that is a reason to keep up with the injustice. In this case, no it’s not complicated. Germany is violating their free speech laws and undermining their commitment to international law because they are supporting an atrocity. There’s actually easy solutions here with a sensible middle ground, and of course Germany isn’t doing it.
Peace.
No, Germany feels a responsibility to help Jews as reparations for the holocaust. Not a blank check to the rightwing Israeli government or giving them a pass when they violate international law. And certainly not violating Germany’s free speech laws by arresting nonviolent protestors condemning a foreign government for their war crimes. There’s no challenge here unless you think every protestor is an anti-Semite.
It’s not delicate at all.
If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values: they're hobbies.

Like many things, this is actually Trump’s fault.
Netanyahu and the Israeli government work really hard at “bipartisan” support. They try to lobby (and bribe) members of both parties in the US and spread their influence around broadly. Trump tipped the scales by not only being hyper pro-Israel (and thus inviting Democrats to go the opposite direction) but he also publicly tweeted that Ilhan Omar and other Democrats should be banned from Israel and that Netanyahu is weak for not banning them. Netanyahu had planned to allow her and others in to keep the bipartisan lobbying going, but after Trump embarrassed him he cancelled their visas. It caused immediate blowback by Congress and damaged the bipartisan balance Netanyahu worked hard for decades on.
So of course this emboldened Netanyahu to ban others.
