In Berlin, which I have been visiting for days with a media and human rights delegation, the visitor to the sprawling city on the edge of history sees the protrusions of the past, etched into a memory burdened by the impact of the extermination of Jews by Nazism during World War II, and in buildings, streets, and walls that still bear witness to an era of history, where the plates of geography and demography shifted, and on its sides, laws were sewn to criminalize anyone who criticizes Israel, even if it violated, confiscated, arrested, tortured, killed, and exterminated tens of thousands of Palestinians; victims of victims.
Despite the high quality of German industry, as the German screw slips gracefully and ends elegantly, German politics does not resemble its industry, as it chose to remain in the gray area, unable to uphold the values of the Republic, foremost among them the application of international laws at all times and in all places without double standards, so that the crimes committed against humanity are not repeated.
There is a gap between the German government and its people, as opinion polls indicate their rejection of their government's policies that tolerate the crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinian people.
There are efforts being made in the "Bundestag" aimed at compelling the government to recognize the Palestinian state and to dissolve the trade partnership agreement that obliges Israel to adhere to the rules of democracy and human rights. Polls are not just numbers, but a movement that infiltrates the corridors of parliament.The river of freedom will not dry up, and international efforts to rescue victims from their pain and bleeding wounds will not cease, for there is a light flickering from among the pillars of fire and smoke, for the status quo is impossible.

In the Bundestag!
