The Israel lobby in Germany has orchestrated a systematic denial of the genocide in Gaza by the government, politicians, and German mainstream media.
The internationally recognized Lemkin Institute for the Prevention of Genocide has issued severe criticism of Germany. In a statement dated 13th January 2026, it “condemns the persistent efforts by several high-profile German civil society organizations to deny the ongoing genocide in Gaza and to disseminate disinformation and denialist narratives among German political decision-makers.”
At the same time, the Institute accuses major German media corporations of having become “the Israeli government’s most loyal mouthpiece”. German policymakers are likewise criticized for turning away from the “international legal order” – an order “that was created in large part due to the horrors it produced”. This refers to Nazi crimes, including the Holocaust against European Jews, the genocide of the Sinti and Roma, and the war of annihilation against the Soviet Union.
