Israel's military actions in Gaza and regional aggression have dramatically shifted public opinion: 57% now hold a negative view of the country, while 37% consider Israel a major threat to world peace - Anadolu Ajansı

German public opinion has shifted dramatically against Israel, with 57% now holding a negative view of the country following its military actions in Gaza, according to a new survey released Friday.

The poll by Allensbach research institute for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper marks a striking reversal from 2022, when only 23% expressed negative views of Israel.

The survey found growing concerns about Israel’s military attacks, with 65% of Germans considering Israel’s actions in Gaza “inappropriate.” Only 13% voiced support for the military campaign.

In a particularly notable finding, 73% of respondents indicated they saw “some truth” in the statement that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute “genocide,” while only 9% explicitly rejected this characterization.

    Germany is still traumatized by having been Nazis. People are still unconditionally supporting Israel because “Jewish state good, need to make up for past crimes”, even though that’s not relevant today anymore. Glad people are beginning to wake up.
