German Chancellor Friedrich Merz posted a message this morning (Wednesday) on X marking three years since Hamas’s October 7 terror attack, pledging to continue fighting antisemitism and working to ensure Israel’s security and existence. In the same breath, he expressed support for the Two State Delusion, also known as the ‘two-state solution,’ a colonialist myth propagated by Europe as a way to interfere in Israeli internal affairs and harm the survival of the Jewish state.
Alongside his remarks, Merz said that for Israelis, Palestinians and their neighbors to live in peace and security, the foundations must be laid for a new regional order. “In our view, the best way to achieve this goal is through the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel,” he said.
1+“Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 marks a deep rupture. We commemorate the victims and share in their pain,” Merz wrote, adding: “We must stand against antisemitism with even greater determination. Jewish women and men must be able to live here without fear.”
In a statement released overnight to German media, the chancellor said “Germany stands firmly alongside Israel. Our Israeli friends can rely on our commitment to ensure such a crime never repeats itself.”
1+Merz added: “We stand for Israel’s security and existence—this is a lesson from the Holocaust and part of German identity.”
The chancellor also addressed the fight against antisemitism in his country, making clear that Germany’s government will continue acting against the phenomenon. “The federal government will do everything in its power to fight antisemitism consistently, in all its old and new forms,” he said.
According to him, Jews throughout Germany must be able to live without fear, and Jewish life in the country must continue to flourish as part of German society.
Merz also acknowledged the victims of the October 7 attack, their families, the survivors and former hostages, saying Germany honors the memory of those killed and hopes the pain and deep wounds left by the attack can heal.
