The Iran conflict is ruining German vacation plans!

Call in the Germany military – to get German vactioners out.

Iran war: Tens of thousands of German travelers stranded – German tour operators say at least 30,000 customers have been left without travel options after thousands of flights were canceled across the Middle East because of the US-Israel war with Iran.

Tens of thousands of people on trips organized by German travel agencies have been affected by US-Israel war with Iran, a leading trade group said on Monday.

Figures from the German Travel Association suggest that some 30,000 tourists are unable to fly home amid the hostilities, which have prompted several countries in the region to close their airspace, while many airlines have put flights into and out of the crisis area on hold.

German flagship carrier Lufthansa is among those airlines. The company said that airspace over Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and the Saudi airport of Dammam will not be used by Lufthansa and its subsidiaries until at least March 8. United Arab Emirates airspace will be avoided until March 4.

Yes. Maybe.

But only after everything’s all over.

Germany said considering joining Israel-US campaign against Iran – Germany is seriously considering joining the US-Israeli campaign against Iran if the regime does not cease attacking countries in the region amid the conflict, German political and military sources tell Israel’s Army Radio.

Planning for possible military action with the United States is already underway, ranging from joining bombing strikes to providing military and aerial assistance, officials in Germany’s foreign ministry and members of the Bundestag’s Foreign Affairs Committee tell the radio station.

Double parking is genocide these days, people.

Get a little more original, please. Or get a life already, Berlin Film Festival.

German minister walks out of film festival after claim of Berlin role in Gaza ‘genocide’ – A German minister walked out of the awards ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival after a prize-winning director accused Germany of complicity in the “genocide” committed by Israel in Gaza.

Social Democratic Environment Minister Carsten Schneider left the ceremony on Saturday evening because of “unacceptable” remarks, his ministry says.

Syrian-Palestinian director Abdallah Al-Khatib, who picked up a prize for Best First Feature Award with his “Chronicles from the Siege,” said in his speech that the German government “are partners in the genocide in Gaza by Israel. I believe you are intelligent enough to recognize this truth.”

That means back and forth. To and fro. Undecided.

“Until further notice” is now. For now.

The German government says it’s lifting restrictions on exports of military equipment to Israel – The German government said Monday that it’s lifting its restrictions on exports of military equipment to Israel, weeks after the ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas militant group.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz said in early August that Berlin wouldn’t authorize any exports of military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza “until further notice.” That was a response to a decision by the Israeli Cabinet to take over Gaza City.

It’s purely financial.

Daughter suspected of burying Holocaust survivor mother in yard to collect German reparations – Israel Police uncovered the body of 93-year-old Holocaust survivor Maina Tolstikov, allegedly buried by her daughter and the daughter’s partner in their Carmiel yard to keep receiving state and German compensation funds.

The motive, investigators believe, was purely financial. Tolstikov, as a Holocaust survivor, received tens of thousands of shekels each month from the Israeli government and Germany. “They simply never reported her death and kept withdrawing the funds for over a year and a half,” Reuveni said.

It’s always worked in the past.

Just look at what UNRWA accomplished. They did a smash up job.

Germany, France call for UN role to secure peace in Gaza – Despite Trump’s aversion to the United Nations, the proposal could gain traction should Arab countries join the push.

Berlin and Paris are pushing for the United Nations to play a key role in maintaining peace in Gaza as the next, and potentially thorniest phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan begins.

Stunning and brave

And profitable.

Now that everything in Gaza has been decided by someone else.

German deputy leader signals lifting curbs of arms exports to Israel – Germany’s Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil on Sunday signalled his government would lift restrictions on supplying weapons to Israel that were announced in August as a rebuke to Israel’s expanding military operations in Gaza.

The remarks by Klingbeil to German broadcaster ARD on Sunday evening suggested a policy shift following the Gaza peace plan, with a ceasefire holding between Israel and Hamas for a third day ahead of a peace summit in Egypt on Monday.

Couldn’t we just have another war instead?

Chancellor Friedrich Merz says that if Israel is excluded from Eurovision 2026, Germany will not take part.

I think it’s a scandal that this is even being discussed. Israel has a place there.”
