A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That commissioner wouldn't happen to be a member of AfD would he?
Also for his analogy to make sense the plan would have to include handing Gaza back to the Palestinians after it was rebuilt, not giving it to a bunch of Jewish settlers and rich foreigners.
AFAIK he is not member of any party. He was given this office in 2018, by the CDU/SPD coalition government and has lasted since. Before that he was a career diplomat in the foreign ministry. Unfortunately he is quite emblematic for how quickly the supposed center of German politics are willing to be in defiance of international law, the German constitution and basic human rights, when it comes to Israel.
Klein also belongs to the people that try to shift the blame for Antisemitism in Germany from the predominant far right and Nazi perpetrators onto "Leftists" and "Islamists". For a more throughout analysis of the absurdity of the "Anti-Antisemitism" comissioner system in Germany i can always recommend this article from the Jewish Currents:

A lot of his plans deserve a closer look but I guess that’s not going to happen for at least four years.
His plans don't deserve any attention at all. They should all be discarded out of hand.
A lot weren't discarded out of hand, so they deserve a closer look by a criminal court.
