It's perhaps the end of Israeli dominance through their influencing Germany's foreign policy apparatus.
While it can be said that Palestine, Gaza, or whatever they call it now never had statehood because the sovereignty of that very small geographic area was neither really agreed on or ratified by a majority of its population, the fact that Israel bombs the **** out of Palestine indiscriminately; that they murder little kids using their commandos has finally gotten the rest of the world to notice.
The US will, as usual, likely be the last to turn course on the international scene. Because with the orange idiot Donald J. Trump in charge we always do the wrong thing in the beginning and then correct course -- changing our mind 5 to 10 times during the process. How f***ed up is that?
I love the people in my country (including several conservatives who I personally know) and HATE my federal government. F*** you Donald Trump. And f*** you Bibi of Israel. Die on your own swords.
