Freidrich Merz, Germany's chancellor-elect, said that it is 'absurd' that an Israeli prime minister cannot visit Germany, and that he would find 'ways and means' for Netanyahu to visit and leave without being arrested

I, as a german, hope that our executive knows the constitution well enough to ignore this and do their fucking job.

The executive tends to lean right in any given country. If anything they are motivated to oblige and let that fuckwit in. On red carpet no less.

It's reflects perfectly with the western values.

"Do as I say, not as I do"

"International laws are for poor countries"

"Warcrimes are fine when your ally does it"

I'm sure they'd gladly welcome Bush and Obama too.

You think rest of Europe has any balls to stand up to US protectorate state?

The US might help fund the active genocide, but no way it's getting its hands dirty in Europe for netty. Israel may try to respond, though.
