A group of German intellectuals say that their country should be held accountable for alleged Israeli crimes in Gaza and be forced to pay reparations for the massive destruction, reports. “The endless massacres that have taken place in Gaza, but also in the West Bank and Lebanon, which have been broadcast virtually as a livestream around the world over the last 14 months, oblige Germany to finally stop supporting Israel, be it military, diplomatic or legal,” said Michael Barenboim of the Barenboim Said Academy at a news briefing in Berlin. His remarks were echoed by Hanna Kienzler of London’s King’s College. “Germany bears considerable complicity in the campaign of extermination ordered by the Israeli state in Gaza under the leadership of Netanyahu and Gallant and carried out by the Israeli army. Germany, therefore, shares responsibility for the long-term consequences of this genocide,” she said.
