She needs to mention the fact that Germany is the second-biggest supplier of arms to Israel after the U.S.; not everything is simply psychological.

In other words, Germany has learned nothing.

Unfortunately Palestinians are paying for Germany's crimes.

How about Palestine's right to exist?

Germany always on the wrong side of history

Germany is rewarding their victims of genocide with the ability to carry out genocide themselves. I keep hearing, “Now you are one of us,” followed by cackling laughter, in my mind.

It's because they don't want them back in Germany....

I also live in Germany and I can confirm every single thing she just said. Our politicians literally admitted on TV that they can't and won't critisize "that country" as a consequence of the Shoa. It's also the reason why there is an unofficial order or "ranking" of racism over here, where politicians take certain discriminations more seriously than others. But of course they would never admit it....

Germany is so cringey.

I agree that it's not about guilt, but the reason for that is Zionism. Germany has a huge lobby just like in the US.

Greetings from Germany = it is really absolute madness here! And it is so hard to ride the bus/train and see people smiling talking about lunch, the sun, vacation etc, and all German papers EXCEPT junge Welt ignoring/whitewashing what is happening in Gaza. As a former journalist I used to be a big fan of public media system in my home country but no longer. My son who is 20 = he and his friends see RIGHT through this stuff though. They are shocked and in a sense radicalized. I hope this generation will not lose their anger and derive courage from it!

If you need to learn more about the conflict related to Palestine land:, the Israeli historian Ilan Pappe wrote well documented book : The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine..,

Fortunately for me these laws did not exist 25 years ago. I can't imagine being obligated to kiss Netanyahu's ring (that's what it feels like) in order to get German citizenship.

Germany is still occupied by the US

The "perfect victim" 😡! This lady is amazing; I watched her before and she has such great common sense. Thanks to Katie for having interviewed her!

Does German recognized the non Jewish that were terminated in German too?

Love her ,, thank you Iris !!

Freedom and justice for Palestinians 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

The Berlin Conference took place from November 15, 1884 to February 26, 1885, in which Africa was divided among the European powers. Without one African present and without consulting the African people. Thus without their consent. This is called colonization. The same goes for other people to decide over the territory of Palestine without the consent of the people, as in 1917 by the British Crown, is called colonization. The International Community (UN) does not have the right to constitute a new state (Israel) on other peoples land (Palestine). This follows from the one page November 2nd 1917 Balfour Declaration on behalf of the British Crown.

Germany, the land of poets and thinkers, lost its mind! Lost its freedom! Lost its future for another century or so, until this generation of slaves wash out of history.

"lsraeI's right to exist" as WHAT? An apartheid, ethic-cleansing, genocidal state? Or a state of equal rights, equal protection under the law, equal educational opportunity for EVERYONE? Define the terms. Define the borders.

# Free, Free Palestine 🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸

Germany and its allies CREATED THIS PROBLEM, maybe they should donate land in their countries…

If Germany asks someone to recognize Israel, wouldn't be reasonable to ask: "Ok, I will recognize it, but please DEFINE the borders of Israel."

free Palestine

Germany somehow keeps finding themselves on the side of genocide

Yes, this is how it is in Germany.

Thank you Iris, for speaking out. Most Germans I know think like you but are scared to be blamed for antisemitism and in the worse case lose their jobs. I think it’s absolutely nonsense to not be able to criticise the Israeli government or not accept the borders of the Israeli State (since so many settlements were illegally built on Palestinian territory). Many jewish people distance themselves from their policies and especially the genocide and occupation („not in my name“) and it’s the most absurd thing to call them antisemite. The German politicians are completely nuts, evil, stupid and/or ignorant and I would tell them: read, read and read!! To begin with the book of books about this theme: Ilan Pappé’s The ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Don’t be on the wrong side of history again!

Hmm so the same as being in the USAs Congress > AIPACs contract ?

Germany has the biggest palastinian community outside of palastine but they dont have even have a passport. They are called here as stateless. Also people from lebanon because they are original palastinians. The german goverment are zionists as much as Israel himself. Zionism Was a thing here before the nazis came to Power.But as i remember my whole life,they let us germans feel guilty for our history knowing thats a Trick and also knowing that my mums,my or my kids Generation have nothing to Do with this crimes.Besides this all the US never left germany. They are our big brother,with Military Basis like rammstein with nuclear wespons. So shameful to watch this.

She is honest and humanist. It’s a struggle for continuation of hegemonic power at the cost of weak nations!

Israelis refer to Palestinians the way Nazis referred to Jews. LMFAO

There are absolutely no signs of support for Palestine in Germany, absolutely none. On the contrary, showing support can even get a person into legal hot water.

❤❤❤ So much respect to you both ❤

The dead children don’t affect me like they used to. The images. The videos. They still disturb and horrify, but not like they did in the beginning. Not anywhere close. And, honestly, I hate it. I hate that that part of me has been stolen. As much as I hated having my heart kicked around all day and having nightmares all night, I’d rather have that than this decreased sensitivity. People should not become desensitized to such horrors. People should not become accustomed to decapitated babies and small, mangled bodies. To corpses run over by tanks. To body parts carried in plastic bags by loved ones. These things should jar you. They should rattle you to your core. But they don’t anymore. Not here. I held onto it for as long as I could. It felt like a solemn duty, to hold on to that part of me that still screamed with an appropriate mixture of grief and outrage at the latest tiny shredded body. But desensitization sets in whether you want it to or not. That’s how they create soldiers, after all. I hate that these pricks have amputated that part of me, and I hate that I know it will never grow back. I have been permanently disfigured inside, mutated by atrocities, all the way down here safe in the Melbourne suburbs. And I hate that this is happening all around the world to everyone else who’s kept their gaze fixed on Gaza. All around the world humanity is being mutated. All around the world something sacred is being stolen from the hearts of good people. All around the world people are finding callouses where there used to be tenderness. And I want my tenderness back, god damn it. I want my tenderness back. Give me back the nightmares. Give me back the tears. Give me back the dry retching over the toilet, and the shaking under the blankets. Give me back the collapsing onto the couch and not moving for several hours until my system can recover from what my eyes just saw. I’ll take it. I’ll take it all back again. Just give me back that soft, tender part of myself that has been withered to dust by a live-streamed genocide. I will take good care of it. I will feed it good things. I’ll give it plenty of sunshine, cupping it delicately in my hands by the window. I will take it for walks, and let it rejoice at the children running and playing, with their parts all together and their insides on the inside. Don’t leave me hardened and darkened like a soldier. Give me back that soft, sacred part of myself that weeps at the corpses of children, so I can behold the world gently again.

Netanyahu loves this war to continue as much as hostages' families love their kids to be freed. So, The families need to act upon the reality of NO ceasefire deal.,

So, you have to sign up to Israeli values to get a German passport if you weren't born in Germany... Jesus!

It's unfathomable that some are unable to face the music and realize the criminal consequences of this atrocious injustice!

germany has become everything they used to hate, shame on them, shame.

Iris Hefets' analogy of Israel being like a nature reservation where German policies can help preserve the Jews who survived the Holocaust is fascinating and deserves serious consideration.

I have been wondering about how the German public feels about the Palestinians paying for their crimes... Sadly this was not answered... Non the less some interesting titbits in this interview

I think it's hilarious that Ben Shapiro is afraid of debating Katie Halper, Nina Turner and Briahna Joy Gray.

Imagine a child born in Germany in 2000. He/She grows up with German schools appropriately educating them about WWII history. This child will rightly think that it is a terrible history but will also think that they bear no responsibility for something that occurred 55-60 years before their birth. Systematic state sanctioned forced obeisance to 'permanent guilt' will eventually lead to resentment among the younger generation & can result in a political & cultural backlash.

True - I believe that too There’s something else going on behind the scenes in Germany

A big "Not in my name" from Germany 😱😭💔🙏

The victim mentality never ends for you people.

Germany lost 2 world wars, Narsis didn't.

Thanks Katie Free Palestine

Thanks for this excellent interview! Germany resembles the U.S. in that the actions of the politicians don't reflect the thinking of the general population, according to the polls. This is true of Britain also and may be true the rest of Europe as well.

We will look back on this time & think the world was upside-down.

"Germany swallowed Israel" accurate and Freudian.

Dresden was also gratuitous genocide with no strategic point. Germans have been conditioned not to question the genocide of the women and children of Dresden or they will be called neonazis, so Netanyahu was quick to cite Dresden as his precedent for bombing Gaza.

history repeats, bots never learn

Wait, germany stil upholds old blood laws????🤣🤣🤣

Good to know. Thank you dear Katie and Ms Iris

So she’s saying Germany treats Israel as a colony of Germany and they do so out of guilt for what the Nazis did in WWII.

We must not be silent while witnessing injustice. Israel is committing war crimes and Germany is complicit in those crimes.

This lady is a treasure, it gives me much hope ❤

What about German guilt towards Namibia? They committed genocide in Namibia as well. Is the guilt absent because the Namibians are black?

Interesting. So… in other words, Germany is directly complicit in another War Crime at the War Crimes Office!✅

Is there any doubt left that there are only two different factions of Zio NOT-Z: Those who are denying the existence of Palestinian and those who are insisting to make Palestinians nonexistence. *Rest* *in* *Power* *Aaron* *Bushnell* I will never forget you and your last words of " *Free* *Palestine* "

The audacity expecting the world to take care of them, simply because they think that they are the chosen ones.

Israel has a right to exist, so does palestine, free free palestine

first people who will commit atrocities are the ones who follow the rules blindly, unfortunately I see that Germans didn´t learn anything at all

If Germany support Israel it should give them the country, but don’t support them of all costs of Palestinian

"We" committed a tremendous crime against the Jewish people ("we" as implicating Germans). Is anyone still alive who made such decisions? Is there generational guilt (from the fathers and grandfathers) ?

Why does no one take Anti-Haitianism seriously?

What's wrong with that woman - moving from one frying pan to another? Fascism is Fascism whether it's named Nazism or Ziionism!

Thank you, Katie for inviting Iris again. Thank you, Iris for talking so friendly about a land and a people, who don´t deserve that. Germans aren´t Nazis, they are simply cowards. If there is happening anything wrong, they know, how to look in a different direction so they don´t get hurt. That is called empathy here. I would leave "my" country, if I could. Everything, that I loved, the cultures, the language, the literature, died long ago. The only thing left now is greed and fear.

It is a specific character. The cowardice, combined with arrogance - looking down on others, the "lesser ones" - our "values" (as if others did not have any values) The underlying issue is a inferiority complex. Truly confident people do not act like this.

Iris Hefets describes an extreme form of _ius sanguinis_ ('law of the blood') that is not exactly how it works in Germany. For the descendants of people persecuted by the Nazis it often amounts to the same thing, but sometimes even for them it doesn't, leading to surprise and disappointment. If we assume that everyone has two parents who are married to each other and who are each a citizen of exactly one country, then the ways to get German citizenship changed over the decades roughly as follows: 1. Initially: patriarchal ius sanguinis. You are born a German if your father is a German. (However, male Germans could lose citizenship by not following a call to go to Germany for military duty in times of war.) 2. Since the 1950s or so: ius sanguinis. Same as before, but the same rules also apply for becoming a German through your mother. (Also the restriction concerning military duty became unconstitutional.) 3. Relatively new current rules: weakened ius sanguinis, and new ius solis ('law of the soil') aspects. Inheriting German citizenship via a German born abroad in 2000 or later normally requires registration in Germany within 1 year. On the other hand, everyone born in Germany to at least one parent who lived legally in Germany during the 8 years before the birth gets provisional German citizenship in addition to whichever other citizenships they may inherit from their parents. Between their 21st and 23rd birthday they must choose between discarding all other citizenships and giving up German citizenship. In addition to these general rules, there is an article in the German constitution which says that not only do those who were unfairly persecuted by the Nazis get their German citizenship back (which is of course no longer directly relevant), but also their descendants are treated as if their ancestor had never lost it and everyone had done whatever was required to pass it on to all descendants. Unfortunately this led to many rejections due to _patriarchal_ ius sanguinis (item 1 above). As a matter of goodwill and with no legal title, this restriction was routinely ignored for several years during the wave of such naturalizations that was triggered by Brexit.

There's a question that majority of people want to know the answer... how come the character or the behavior of zioz is exactly the same with nazis in ww2???!!!! Is there a root or bloodline involves in it??!!!

The German interest is simple: to satisfy wishes of American Jewish financial elite. Twice before last century German tried desperately to go against them and consequences of that were disastrous. Since 1945 Germany has been careful not to repeat this mistake again

Thanks to Katie and Iris.

So, what happens to a Palestinian who has german blood but was born outside germany and today, wants to have german citizenship. He has to sign that document that says he should recognise Israel only and not Palestine as well??? 😕

Man has learned nothing from their past mistakes.

Maybe stop calling Germans Nazis every time they do something you don't like and they won't feel immense pressure to allow Israel to do whatever

Germany even donated a submarine, adding a platform to Israels nuclear 2nd strike capacity and sold several others. So Germany really supplied some security guaranty for Israel. It's not just words.

She certainly opened another door of reality.

German citizenship by German blood.

BEFORE I COMMENT ON WHAT THIS EXTREMELY HONEST LADY IS SAYING, I WISH TO SPECIFY, THAT I ALWAYS WRITE IN UPPER CASE BECAUSE OF MY VERY POOR VISION AND NOT BECAUSE OF ANGER OR TO SHOUT! I WANT THAT TO BE VERY CLEAR FOR WHOEVER READS ME! NOW, ALL THAT THIS LADY SAYS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE! I LIVED IN GERMANY FOR 10 YEARS AND ALSO STUDIED THERE IN GERMAN, SO I KNOW THE GERMANS EXTREMELY WELL! GERMANY HAS BEEN AN AMERICAN COLONY SINCE THE END OF WWII AND STILL IS TODAY, POLITICALLY! THE GERMANS EVEN USE A DERISIVE WORD TO DESIGNATE THE AMERICANS, WHICH IS A PLAY ON A FRENCH WORD : DIE ''AMIS'', WHICH MEANS 'THE ''FRIENDS''! THE FRIENDS, WHO ARE ACTUALLY OUR RULERS! IS WHAT THEY MEAN, WHICH IS...NOT REALLY OUR FRIENDS AND THEY SAY IT WITHOUT HATRED OR RESENTMENT, SIMPLY BECAUSE SUCH IS THE GERMAN REALITY AND HAS BEEN SINCE THE END OF WWII. THIS LADY HAS A FEW DIFFICULTIES IN ENGLISH, ALTHOUGH SHE SPEAKS IT RATHER WELL AND ENOUGH, BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN CLEARER TO HAVE HER SPEAK DIRECTLY IN GERMAN, WITH AND INTERPRETER TRANSLATING WHAT SHE SAYS INTO ENGLISH. NOW, SHE SAYS, THAT THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT CARE AT ALL ABOUT THE JEWS AND THAT THEY ARE ONLY PROTECTING AMERICAN INTERESTS AND GERMAN INTERESTS LINKED TO THE GERMAN AND AMERICAN INDUSTRY, NOT THE JEWS! HENCE ALL THIS IS NOTHING, BUT HYPOCRISY, AS IT IS WITH OTHER COUNTRIES, WHO ''SUPPORT'' ISRAEL! AND YES, THE MAJORITY OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE DOES NOT SUPPORT ISRAEL'S CRIMES! I CAN ONLY THANK, THAT LADY TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO SPEAK THE TRUTH OUT AND MRS HALPER TO HAVE INVITED HER!

Germany, like many times in the past, is in the wrong side of history.

What an outstanding heart warming interview. The truth shall set us free. Thank you, Katie for continuing to bring such outstanding material, and Iris for your wonderful insight. May Love and Light continue to strengthen you both.

Nelson Mandela visited Cuba and then the USA in 1990 after he was released

Damned if they help, damned if they don't. How lightly she talk about Palestinians in the passing conversation. As if nothing happening to them. It's all about jews, no one else.

Insane requirement, loyalty code

As a German I am ashamed ...

Not one word about boko haram victims in Nigeria victims in Rwanda Haiti Syria Yemen etc.

This woman is simply great 👍

I would suggest that German is sufferung a massive self esteem problem as a result if peopke who were born between 90-140 years ago! Time they grew up and denounced this delusion!

Thank you ! Amazing .... I am belgian and I didn't know this ...😯

She should say the German govt thinks this, and not the German people!

What sort of power one has to be able to force another state to do this? The state within the state.

after wwTwo it was painful to be a german american without any enforced sense of humor .... i can only imagine what german people are living thru after wwtwo

we have this in Europe........... how frightening.....

Once a Natzi Always a Natzi

Why does not Germany give all German Jews in Israel right of return back to Germany?

Palestine and the Palestinians have the right to exist and to defend themselfs.

In the beginning the guest is referring to Jus Soli And Jus Sangria By land or By Blood. Some countries say you are a citizen if you are born on their land… others say you are a citizen only if your blood is German (parents), for example, at the time of birth.

No matter how I phrase my comment, it gets auto deleted. I think youtube just wants us to give up even trying. Go back to edit your comment and I bet it says Returned Error in red.
