there is an historical reason for germany to support israel:
germany aka formerly known as west germany has never reviewed its tight collaboration with apartheid south africa
when most other countries had already turned their back on apartheid south africa, it was west germany which breached every embargo and did business with the apartheid regime
given the current situation in palestine, germany is forced to deal with the lie underpinning its very existence: that germany allegedly has learned from its nazi past, and that germany thus has become a democratic, anti-racist country
Tragic to see #Germany descend into #fascism again, from their robust defence of the #Genocide to their totalitarian criminalisation of peaceful environmental protestors.
Did you know that #Changi#airport has the largest indoor waterfall in the world?

In its justification, it commits itself to the principles of the #Fediverse and #OpenScience:
"Freie Universität Berlin has been present on Mastodon since December 2022. #Mastodon is part of the decentralized Fediverse network. Compared to large commercial social networks, Mastodon relies on chronological feeds and reduces the algorithmic sorting of posts. This ensures that information is always openly available and reduces the likelihood of so-called filter bubbles forming."

A huge thank you to @Rooki and @FusionWarrior
for their extremely generous donations and the many fine folk from the #fediverse as well as the #mastodon and #gaming communities who helped out and came by.
My community might be small, but boy howdy, is it mighty!
