It is still considered complicity in violating humanitarian law.
Does it make you a war criminal if you actively defend the people committing war crimes while helping to send them weapons?
Actively defend them? No it doesn’t.
Sending weapons? At the very least you’re an accessory to it, so I’d agree with that.
What? Actively defending war criminals makes you complicit.
Actively defending a murderer doesn’t make one a murderer
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the agreement with war crimes make you a sympathizer? The act of being a sympathizer is deplorable, but not illegal. I feel like a lot of people take their name-calling to the extremes these days.
Nuance left the building a long time ago.
And nuance left the door wide open for pedantry and contrarianism to come in and set up camp.

Exactly my point but I guess I need to “listen to myself”.
Yeah, you fucking do. You’re like “But is openly agreeing with genocide really a bad thing?” Like that isn’t gross as hell.

That is not at all what I am asking.
Your question was hair splitting in defense of a genocide supporting piece of shit. You just phrased it as a question.
Please work on your reading comprehension.
You need to quit gaslighting people for pointing out the only thing you’re about.
If you don’t see the difference in that, I cannot help you.
You’re only here to help genocide supporters.

I’m saying that at some point, you quit splitting hairs.
You understand that that’s just pedantry though?
Pedantry in defense of genocide is the gold standard of centrist advocacy.
Does it make you a war criminal if you simply agree with war crimes that others have committed?
Jesus, dude. Listen to yourself.
I agree that Hitler should have been assassinated. Therefore, I am as much of a hero as those who tried.
If you enable it, maybe, kinda. Something close at least.
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
However, persecution is an international crime against humanity, so if someone wanted to, they could make a case against her at the International Crime Court.

That is true, but she is an open defender of their actions. And has complained multiple times when UN tried calling them out.

I don’t believe you, given you’re using their lives as a cudgel to attack criticism of genocide
But you wouldn’t want a genocide enabler in such a high position.

But the genocide is the only reason anyone is defending her in this thread.
Sadly she’s probably one of the more moderate Germans from the last government. Germany as a whole, learned the most narrow lesson from the Holocaust and Munich Olympics; which, you would think would be “Genocide bad”, but is actually “Israel good”.
At least Baerbock has acknowledged the suffering and declared that “Palestine belongs to Palestinians”. That’s such a low bar but the majority of Germans don’t clear that. It’s very sad, but what can you do?
For so long anything critical has been labelled antisemitic and sometimes also made illegal. The first news org in Germany to do Israel-gov critical reporting would end up in court and might lose it’s license.
Nonsense. She was one of the most fierce repressers of protests and deniers of genocide. If this woman would face trials like Nuremberg she would be executed.
I don’t follow German politics that closely, so I’ve probably missed something, but how was Baerbock involved in suppressing protests as Foreign Minister?
Her comments at the start of the genocide should be enough for her to lose her position in government. It is really sickening and sad. But when it comes to German politicians, I don’t know any that are better.
She actively smeared peaceful protesters as violent antisemites. And she consistently said that Israel is not committing genocide.
Cunt!

“German Foreign Minister profers an invalid defense of a rogue nation’s killing of civilians” to “she is a war criminal herself” to “Nazinazinazi”.
