The US – like Russia and China and a couple more countries – doesnt recognize to the ICC.

Thats simply not true. Its just that Germany has rules against demanding the extinction of the state of Israel – you know – due to historical reasons and mainly against Nazis.

The claim 'from the river to the sea' calls for the extinction of Israel, because it calls for a Palestinian state between Jordan and Mediterranean, therefore Israel has be desolved. Therefore 'from the river to the sea' is a prohibited phrase in Germany and you are not allowed to chant it at demonstrations. If you do so, the demonstration might get cancelled.

Freedom of speech in Germany is just more restricted compared to the US. There are a lot of things you are not allowed to say – mainly things associated with Nazis.

Its news because it happened in a public setting. Neonazis are less afraid than ever to show their true face even on social media.

In comparison to other countries far right positions are far less common. The post-war generation really changed the society. For example the far right AFD has less than 15 % of public votes (compared to ~30 % in other European countries) and racism – while present – is far less common than for example in China, Russia, US or Japan.

Its not perfect, but the fact that people shouting far right phrases making national news, shows that the german society hasn't shifted as far to the right as other countries.

And still Mercedes is the car company with the highest autonomy level of any car manufacturer. And no one talks about that.

Putin loves chaos and dissent in Europe. Everything that escalates the situation in Israel and Palestine is good for him.

There was actually news that an Egyptian spy manipulated the peace process. His task was to talk with Israel and Hamas regarding a ceasefire. He manipulated the Hamas offer – which Israel accepted – without talking to Hamas with the goal to make Israel back off from the agreement.

So far no one knows why he did that. If he was Putin's puppet or if it was orders from Egypt. But it shines a bad light onto Egypt's role.

Thats simplifying the problem. You know what helps with getting better with EVs? Subsidies and cheap credits. And China does that. We can now start to race which countries and tax payers give EV manufacturers the most money or we can ban companies who aren't playing fair.

So yes, get better at EVs is a valid damand. But if your competitor gets an unfair advantage, you simply can't reach his level, no matter how hard you are trying.

The funny part is: the authorities warned him a long time ago, for example 2023 {https://www.fr.de/politik/verfassungsschutz-maximilian-krah-afd-sorgen-verfassungsschutz-china-kontakte-tbl-zr-92575131.html) and the warnings go back as far as 2019.
