Nothing of that. Its not like Israel is trying to kill Palestinians, but killing Hamas. And by doing so, the civilians of the country can die without it being a genocide. The allied forces didn't commit a genocide in Dresden, Germany. And the US didn't commit a genocide in Hiroshima.

Weird, because the lawyer is claiming so: '“We intend to bring legal proceedings against the U.S. Government based on overwhelming evidence that the U.S. Government has, and is, aiding, abetting and supporting, encouraging or providing material assistance and means to Israel and the Israeli Defense Forces. This conduct by the U.S. Government has enabled and continues to enable Israel to engage in international crimes against the Palestinian people,” the South African lawyers said in a letter sent to US President Joe Biden on January 2.'

Thats simply incorrect. For example 'Deutschlandfunk Der Tag' did a long series (~5 hours) about the impact of the war on Palestinians living under Hamas occupation during the war and their feelings towards Israel. They even did a Meta-report 'How much attention does the dying in Gaza get in german media' where they interviewed Salma Abuzaina, a Palestine activist in germany.

Maybe you just don't consume public funded media if you haven't heard any report about it. The conflict between reporting on Palestinian deaths and Isreali deaths without negating the suffering of any of the parties is a huge topic in german media.

‘We don’t have a say’: workers join push to unionize flagship Volkswagen plant in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Its weird AF. Volkswagen is known as the company with by far the biggest workers unification in Germany. Its a legit career path to become the highest ranked workers representative and a significant share of the board members are current of former worker representatives.

There have been some rumors that Volkswagen is treating the worker representatives too well to make them less demanding (extremely high pay, direct access to the CEO, etc.), but thats about it.

Really weird that this is different in the US. Seems to be more a national culture thing and less of a company culture thing.
