the fact that there was an official UN-resolution „3379“ - declaring zionism as a form of racism and racist discrimination - in order from 1975-1991 should really tell you that this is not a new discussion at all. if you look at the world map from 1975 highlighting all the countries that were in favor and those against it is very obvious just how long this has been going on. it’s almost identical to those countries‘ positions even today. they should never have taken that resolution back tbh. could have saved tens of thousands of lives.

#free palestine #yknow my family is from the former GDR / east Germany and I also learned the GDR was a heavy supporter of the PLO and solidarized w them #it was only when then entirety of Germany was taken over by the west again by 1990 that people’s position changed #my grandpa was born in 1955 and obviously grew up with that mindset why he also says he has always viewed israel critically bc of the way it #was founded and how Palestinians were treated as a result #Israel also suppressed communists like i wrote a few days ago esther bejarano and her husband #of course now in German media the GDR is deemed as ”antisemitic” LOL #the GDR did fully recognize palestine but never Israel too
