"The supreme national interest" devours its children!

The German Chancellor is under pressure from the very political doctrine he recently declared to be the "essence of German existence." Despite his repeated statements of full commitment to the principle of supreme national interest (which means full support for the Jewish entity), Zionist forces in politics and the media are mobilizing their efforts to undermine his recent decision to restrict arms exports to the entity through a coordinated attack!

At the beginning of his chancellorship, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz unequivocally declared his absolute commitment to the Jewish entity and its security, and publicly questioned the need to implement the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Benjamin Netanyahu, and then everything seemed fine in the political atmosphere of Berlin. But that changed suddenly with the statement published by the German Chancellor on the X platform on August 8: "The German government will not allow the export of any military equipment that could be used in the Gaza Strip until further notice." Although the Chancellor began this sentence by saying: "The release of the hostages [...] is a top priority and (Israel) has the right to defend itself against Hamas terrorism," a storm of outrage erupted within minutes. Newspapers and media portals - foremost among them those belonging to the Zionist publishing house Axel Springer - spoke of "erasing the principle of supreme national interest," "loss of political control," and "betrayal"! The Central Council of Jews in Germany went even further, equating the decision with outright hostility: "(Israel) is attacked daily by enemies in the Middle East and is bombarded with missiles [...]. Depriving (Israel) of the possibility of defending itself against these threats endangers its existence." According to the Central Council of Jews, the German government must "correct the course it has taken as quickly as possible."

But even more dangerous are the attacks that came from the political environment of the Chancellor himself... informed sources indicated that there was "discomfort" in the parliamentary bloc of his party, in the Council of Ministers, and among "very influential people" in his Christian Union party. One of the Chancellor's close associates, who was not named, confirmed that "the Christian Democratic Union is on fire." The leader of the Christian Social Union (the sister party of the Christian Democratic Union in Bavaria), Markus Söder, refused to provide the necessary support to the Chancellor, and instead sent the leader of his regional group, Alexander Hoffmann, the leader of the Bavarian parliamentary group, Klaus Holetschek, and the foreign policy expert of the Christian Social Union, Stefan Meyer, demanding a review of the decision and "internal talks." Roderich Kiesewetter, a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Christian Democratic Party, described the decision as a "gross political and strategic error," and Christian Democratic Party MP Carsten Müller wrote on X that he "strongly condemns" the German government's decision.While the silence of the Secretary-General of the Christian Democratic Party, Karsten Linnemann, seemed striking, the head of the party's parliamentary group, Jens Spahn, did not make any statement until days later, explaining in a video message on Instagram that the decision was "justified" in his opinion. According to one analyst, this statement is "the minimum form of support, and at the same time the maximum form of disavowal that a parliamentary group leader can show towards his chancellor."

These attacks were accompanied by statements from the entity's ambassador, Ron Prosor: "Instead of disarming Hamas, there is now discussion of disarming Israel; this is like a festival for Hamas." He added: "Berlin's position does not contribute to a legitimate discussion about the approach taken in Gaza, but aims to make (Israel) unable to protect itself." Finally, on August 10, Netanyahu himself made a statement on the matter, in which he painted a picture of a weak German Chancellor who "collapsed under the weight of misleading media pressure and internal pressure from various groups." Various media outlets affiliated with the Jewish entity also launched attacks from their side, re-publishing in the context of the discussion the anti-German statements of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir: "80 years after the Holocaust, Germany is returning to support Nazism."

Thus, the principle of "supreme national interest" is manifested not only as a concept "contrary to the foundations of law" and as an "authoritarian" concept (as Kai Ambos explains), but is also used "as a tool to manipulate political identity," and its impact goes "far beyond the Christian Union" (according to Robin Alexander). Although current polls indicate that 83% of Germans support stopping arms exports, and 76% reject the practices followed in Gaza, a striking crowd of Zionist media and politicians affiliated with it are attacking the German Chancellor's decision and demanding its review! In this context, the concept of "supreme national interest" is exploited as an active political weapon, which can be directed against the highest political positions and those who represent them, even if these have explicitly declared their affiliation and full loyalty to the Zionist project!

The slightest deviation from the drawn line, which is the absolute support for the entity, automatically leads to a coordinated and fully integrated campaign, led by influence peddlers, and indoctrinated perpetrators, who move according to their strange, ingrained beliefs, and opportunists seeking power and influence. This fact is confirmed by the research of the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security in The Hague, which stated: "(Israel) is waging deliberate disinformation campaigns, and is trying to politically influence the Netherlands." The fact is that those campaigns that the Dutch authority speaks of are doubly effective in Germany, and their political impact is much deeper, because the idea of the supreme national interest - in its identitarian function - is linked to the process of Germany's rehabilitation after World War II and its forced link to the West.

Hizb ut-Tahrir calls on the German government once again to fundamentally reconsider its position and disengage from its association with the Jewish entity. The global outrage over the genocide in Gaza, and the public opinion in Germany rejecting this genocide, together constitute a historic opportunity to break free from the "eternal guilt complex" that has shackled German political decision-making for decades, and to bring about a real shift in Germany's policy towards the Middle East. On this basis, it will be determined whether Germany will be able to reconnect its historical relations with the Islamic countries, or whether it will be classified as a hostile element, bearing the burden of its complicity in the genocide against the people of Palestine, and held accountable for this by the upcoming Khilafah state, God willing.
