The German government has quietly cut funding for Zochrot and New Profile, following an earlier defunding of Palestinian NGOs. Some observers fear the move will shrink space for those critical of the Israeli government.

Perhaps people are inclined to yell Nazi because their government is funding a genocide and silencing speech against the Israeli government.

I am very much with you in being against what they're doing but supporting Israel is usually not the reason Germans in particular are called "Nazi".
