Majority of Germans think Israel is committing genocide in Gaza – poll.
The survey, which was conducted from September 17-18, found that 62% of all German voters believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Germans Feel a Little Less Gloomy Despite Economic Clouds – The pickup in consumer mood contrasts with a worsening outlook among German business.
Just kidding. This is Germany, after all.
Survey: 63% of Germans support European sanctions on Israel – According to Deutsche Welle (DW), citing the research group Verein, the survey published by Der Spiegel Online found that 63 per cent of German voters back proposals from the European Commission to impose sanctions on Israel. Others expressed reservations or opposition.
The poll comes at a time of rising tensions in European–Israeli relations, against the backdrop of the Gaza war, which has caused widespread destruction and hunger, alongside international calls for a ceasefire and the delivery of humanitarian aid.
And it’s happening all over.
Country by country. There must be a good reason for this. Why are European voters voting for parties that promise to get European migrant madness under control? What’s wrong with them?
Far-right AfD tops German popularity ranking in bombshell new survey – Between Alternative for Germany and France’s National Rally, populists continue to rise in Europe’s most powerful countries.
Something tells me it will be a negative too.

German poll shows approval for more defense spending as NATO steels itself for Trump 2.0 – A majority of Germans support significant defense spending increases, an outlook that coincides with the imminent return of Donald Trump to the White House and an anticipated pressure campaign on allied militaries to step up, a new public opinion survey found.
In September, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius proposed pushing the amount of spending dedicated to the military from 2% of gross domestic product to between 3 and 3.5%.
In a new poll released Monday by the Koerber-Stiftung Institute, 50% of respondents supported Pistorius’ idea, while a further 15% said even more should be spent on German defense.

And while you’re at it, wash your mouth out with soap.
German voters have high hopes for Kamala Harris – Respondents to a monthly trend survey had a clear preference for the Democrats’ new presidential candidate.
German media have reported on the shift in the political mood in the US over the past two weeks since President Joe Biden bowed out of the race. The new candidate, Kamala Harris, is seen to be scoring points against the Republican challenger, former President Donald Trump.

Thank goodness!
Maybe everything is finally getting back to normal.

You’ll never ever find yourselves in that role and everybody knows it. Like, we get it already. Yawn.
It would be nice, however, if you could maybe possibly perhaps put yourselves in the position to defend yourselves. Just saying.
