    I’m not convinced that the recognition of Israel as a sovereign state is an appropriate measure after everything they have ever done. isntrael

    The recognition of Germany as a nation state isn’t an appropriate measure after the horrific genocides they committed during the world war. The only reasonable future for “Germany” is its dissolution, followed by the formation of a 30 year JDPON trusteeship over the Rhine-Elbe area, and ultimately the region’s integration into the socialist world-republic.

    I genuinely wish we could just pass a law that states every non-Jewish zionist german is to have their tongues removes, their mouths sewn shut and every bone in each of their fingers shattered so that they can never communicate with another person ever again

      They could use an adapted form of German Sign Language (video of someone using adapted ASL without hands or feet), perhaps using semaphore instead of fingerspelling or something, perhaps with the movement of the Adam’s apple partly filling in for the mouthing (I dunno), and probably with a special interpreter present. They’d also be able to communicate in Morse code with a series of mmmm’s or blinks or any other bodily movement that can be a binary. There are also keyboards specially made for people without hands or without the use of their fingers, and even with a “normal” keyboard it’s not super hard at all to learn to type with the tip of one’s nose, or using a pencil or chopstick or whatever else affixed to oneself, nor is it too difficult to use pen or pencil or fudepen without the use of one’s fingers. There are also a number of constructed or whistled languages that distinguish sounds only by pitch and phonation (and I guess for that matter whether a sound is egressive) — Hell, Kelly Rogers was born without a tongue but nevertheless learned how to speak, so at this point it would not surprise me if someone somehow managed to learn how to speak clearly without a tongue and with the lips sewn shut.

      Otherwise, well, there’s myoelectric devices and eye tracking like Stephen Hawking used, there’s all sorts of things both low tech and high tech that can be used in AAC. Cutting out someone’s tongue, sewing that person’s lips shut, and breaking thons fingers, I’m sorry to say would probably not even remotely prevent that person from communicating, it really just makes communication more tedious.

      …I may or may not have spent a perhaps concerning amount of time thinking about how I myself might communicate if I were disabled in the exact way described.

    Can you explain why it’s significant that michael roth is german? And explain it like I’m a baby brained high schooler? I don’t understand the post otherwise, sorry!

      Germany should not exist in it’s place should be hundreds of princpipalities that made up the HRE or at least turn it into like 8 different countries.

      In all seriousness there was at least one person that proposed that germany should be wiped from the map and others proposed stuff like turning it into 4 countries, like Morgenthau, but germany remained a somewhat ‘sovereign state’ even after everything Nazi Germany did while Palestine well…

        It was an interesting plan. Let the German nation remain, but half of it gets annexed and the other half gets split into two. Prevent them from starting WW3 by destroying all their industry and starving a few million Germans. Demilitarization even stricter than Japan, but what we ended up was actually far more relaxed than Japan. Reparations in the form of a one-and-done transferring of industry out of Germany, instead of using Germany’s high industrial output as a tax source to develop the world. Kind of dumb to be honest, but a little funny.
