In a parliamentary address, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock reaffirmed Germany’s commitment to "Israel", saying that "civilian sites could lose their protected status." In a bid to go even further in Germany's support for "Israel" in its genocide, Baerbock not only presented a worn-out argument for "Israel's right to defend itself", but went even further to imply that allegations of armed individuals being present in civilian areas, the same one "Israel" always uses, means it is legitimate to target them. Baerbock claimed that "self-defense naturally involves not only attacking terrorists but also destroying them... when Hamas terrorists hide behind civilians and schools... civilian sites could lose their protected status," a claim rejected by human rights activists and lawyers. This is happening a mere days after "Israel" bombed a tent camp sheltering displaced Palestinians, committing a horrific massacre in which many Palestinians were seen on footage burning alive.
