Being charitable, I wonder if there is a language barrier thing happening here. I’m by no means fluent in German, but as far as I can tell, words like “death” and “dead” are far more versatile and used metaphorically far more often in English than in German.
I’m german, there is no language barrier. The cultural barrier is that my countrypeople can’t separate between a nation and it’s citizens.
The fact that they can’t think of another way to get rid of settlers, when they launched a genocidal settlement campaign not even 100 years ago across poland and had to be “resettled” west of the Oder after they lost, speaks to how much they actually learned from their past.
I think they just like to always assume the worst in order to justify their own overly broad definition of antsemitism, accusations of which are used to shield Israel (and Germany’s support of Israel) from valid criticism. After all if they can claim they are fighting antisemitism instead of aiding a genocide, then the political optics are much better.
