This is part of an immense orchestrated effort. Back in January, I wrote about how Germany's fascist law-breaking minister of the interior, Alexander Dobrindt visited Israel to discuss these kinds of plans.¹
My original² source is now behind a paywall. Here's an alternative³ source.
Dobrindt said in Januar 2026, while visiting Netanyahu in Israel, while Israel was committing genocide:
> Israel is one of our most important partners in the domain of cybersecurity, and with this deal Israel will become our premium partner.
They also discussed the "German Navy Seals" (the GSG-9) to train closely with the Israeli elite unit Yamam.
Dobrindt and Netanyahu discussed many more evil machinations, but Dobrindt kept most of the rest of their discussions secret and only hinted vaguely at "protecting the German population" and wouldn't tell the press.
In December 2025, when multiple German police presidents had visited Israel, Israel had already demanded to crack down on criticism of Israel in social media posts by Germans.⁴ And to crack down on "antisemitism" (that is, anti-genocide protests).

@aral Germany's former undersecretary to the 'Commissioner for Culture and the Media' is now the COO of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), the manufacturer of the same war ships and submarines that hinder the Global Sumud Flotilla from reaching Gaza.

With someone like that (Andreas Görgen) controlling which media gets funded and which media gets defunded, it's no wonder why so many Germans are brainwashed to the point of denying genocide.
Again, this is part of a huge orchestrated effort.
Not only will Germany now allow Israel/IAI to build their drones in Berlin.
Germany already allows Elbit Systems, the biggest competitor of IAI, to build *their* drones in Ulm, Germany. Among other drones, the drone SkyStriker.
Conversely, Germany's TKMS (ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems) produces submarines and war ships for Israel. The same ships that were/are used for kidnapping the crew of the Global Sumud Flotilla on international waters in the Mediterranean Sea: Sa'ar 6-class corvettes. I've previously written about that here¹.
Israel and pro-Israeli lobby groups have been flying German politicians to Israel en masse over the past years. Israel is spending hundreds of millions of Euros, if not billions of Euros to buy German politicians.²
And similarly to the Filton 4 who damaged Elbit Systems property in the UK,³ the Ulm 5 who destroyed Elbit Systems in Germany are likewise treated as terrorists.⁴
These are some of the weapons manufacturers that produce in Germany for Israel:
- Israel Aerospace Industries
- Elbit Systems
- Airbus Defence
- Rheinmetall
- ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems
- Diehl Defence
And Germans like Alexander Dobrindt (minister of the interior) and Kai Wegner (mayor of Berlin) are some of the worst enablers of Germany's complicity in genocide right now.

“In late May 2026, Rome Pride organizers delivered a clear and courageous message: there will be no platform for complicity with genocide. Italy’s only Jewish LGBTQ+ organization, Keshet Italia, was barred from marching with its own float in the upcoming June 20 parade. The reason was straightforward and principled—Keshet refused to endorse Rome Pride’s political manifesto, which explicitly condemns Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and demands a clear break from the Zionist state’s policies of occupation, apartheid, and extermination.”

"The human cost makes the hypocrisy unbearable. Pinkwashing does not save lives; it launders blood and distracts from the systematic violence that makes daily life a hell for Palestinians under occupation."
