Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

No, I'm implying that Germany's real intention is not to help holocaust survivors, but to keep up good relations with Israel's government.

Then why wouldn’t they lower the amount they’re charging Israel or increase the amount of aid given without cost, that would be way more effective to improve relations with the Israeli government?

Because lowering the amount they're charging or increasing the amount of aid will cost more than measly 25 million and doesn't make such good headlines.
