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.

Uuuh yeah, pretty sure they meant what they said. Genocide is genocide, no matter if its Jews or Palestinians getting killed.

It is. "Nazi" is still at best a weird choice of words in this case.

No it’s not.

Zionists are Nazis. Israel is a Nazi state.

Nazi is an adjective not simply a political party from the 1930s.
