Merz’s inaugural visit to the occupied lands conveyed a clear message: Germany still stands firmly with Israel. In his meeting with Herzog, he spoke of Germany’s enduring commitment to the “Jewish state” and framed the Gaza war as the outcome of a decision made by Hamas— a narrative that directly mirrors the rhetoric of the White House and the Zionist lobby. Merz’s insistence on the disarmament of Hamas and his hope for the revival of the so-called “Trump peace plan” made clear that Berlin is not only failing to think independently, but is actively working to consolidate the occupying regime as a cornerstone of Western security. This stance is part of Germany’s long-standing strategy of granting legitimacy to Tel Aviv’s crimes— a strategy completed through arms shipments and political backing for the genocide in Gaza.
Meanwhile, Merz is grappling with economic crisis and falling domestic approval ratings, and is trying to prevent political collapse by forging closer alignment with the Zionist lobby. He knows that satisfying Tel Aviv and Washington is far more crucial to safeguarding his chancellorship than satisfying German public opinion— the same public now filling the streets to protest the genocide in Gaza, only to be met with police repression.
West Ensnared by Zionism: Ethics Collapsed, Politics Subordinated
The record of Western leaders— especially Germany— shows that their decisions are driven not by democratic principles but by the interests of the Zionist lobby. Germany is one of Israel’s largest weapons suppliers, and from Gaza to Ukraine, its defense industry profits are being sustained by the blood of civilians.
Escalating hostility toward refugees, unconditional support for occupation, and disregard for the global outcry against the genocide in Gaza all testify to the reality that human rights in the West are little more than a disposable slogan. While millions of Europeans demand an end to the bombardment and siege of Gaza, German policymakers pursue an entirely opposite course: suppressing domestic protests, justifying mass killing, and offering political cover to Tel Aviv.
Berlin’s current policy goes beyond diplomatic support; it represents an attempt to reconstitute geopolitical power through warmongering and the continued subordination of Europe’s security architecture to the United States and Israel.
Modern Nazism: Berlin and Tel Aviv’s Ideological Convergence
A historical review shows that the roots of much of the German government’s present behavior lie in the same ideological structure that defined Nazism: racism, militarism, and a doctrine centered on war. Rising military budgets, the expansion of conscription, and the perpetuation of the war in Ukraine all reflect this mindset.
On the other side, the Zionist regime— built on the same fascist framework— continues its occupation and genocide. Today in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank, the same logic of Nazism is at work: the destruction of an entire people to cement domination. The ideological proximity between Berlin and Tel Aviv is the key to Germany’s blind alignment with Israel’s crimes, and Merz’s remarks made this connection glaringly visible once again.
This alignment reveals that Germany sees Israel not as a partner, but as the executor of the West’s darkest missions— just as Merz previously admitted: “Israel is doing the dirty work for all of us.” Israel functions as the West’s proxy arm: tasked with weakening independent states, containing the Resistance Axis, blocking the influence of China and Russia, and controlling West Asia’s energy resources.
A Powerless Europe: Germany Still Subservient to the United States
Although Germany presents itself as Europe’s economic powerhouse, in practice it follows Washington’s directives. The presence of thousands of U.S. troops on German soil and the EU’s unconditional adherence to America’s war-driven agendas—from Ukraine to snap-back measures against Iran— reflect this structural dependency.
Europe’s humiliating treatment at the White House, its performance at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit, and its inability to oppose Israeli policies have all exposed the true face of this subordination. Today, the United States defines Europe’s political trajectory— even in matters of migration, security, and cultural structure. It is therefore unsurprising that Merz stood in Tel Aviv and openly reaffirmed his support for Israel: Germany’s foreign policy is formulated not in Berlin but in Washington.
Yet the wave of public anger across Europe over the genocide in Gaza is growing. If it intensifies, Merz may not even be able to complete his term. Such is the historical cost of relying on a regime that has forfeited its legitimacy in the blood of Gaza’s children.
