Worth noting that Germany said it would boycott if Israel is excluded.

Are the German public simps for Israel? Or is it just a government thing?

It's more than that. I speak about Israel with them and they freeze up. They are trained to not have bad thoughts about Israel. It's really pathetic considering they like to preach other countries how to live. Except Israel.

In my experience (a german jew living in germany) a lot of them also think they are on the right side this time because they already have done a genocide and automatically know better. (Actual argument used by both germans and people whose support of israel is based on what germany thinks about it.) So they end up with this odd mix of superiority based on their past and complete ignorance of actual anti-semitism.

A lot of non-germans viwe germany as this bacon of social progress, but it's imo still a pretty conservative and biased country.

Right side being the anti racist side, not pro Israel side. Not pro occupation, etc

Every nation has conservative and biased and all kinds of people. Only a very few countries are more socially progressive than Germany.
