I don't understand how countries that actually had concentration camps can be for more concentration camps. Which is what Gaza is now and the West Bank is turning into. Plus all the torture facilities like Sde Teiman and other military detention camps where over 10,000 Palestinians, including women and children, are being held in inhumane conditions.

Italy, Germany, UK are definitely in Israel's pocket, or rather key figures in Politics.

I think they feel a historic responsibility to not oppose Israel. I agree that a lot of what Isreal does is inacceptable, but the politic reality is that politicians fear to be seen as antisemitic, especially if they have a history of facism and antisemitism. As these are often were linked in the past. Doesn't mean they are in Isreals pocket, only that it would hurt them politically in the next elections.

Hmm, Germany going to bat for Israel at the ICJ, UK blocking ICC arrest warrants, that's more than not willing to be seen as antisemitic. Plus voting for the end of occupation is not antisemitic.

Maybe they aren't in Israel's pocket, yet they have been convinced by Israel that not unconditionally defending Israel is antisemitic? Have they learned nothing from history.

Anyway antisemitism has lost most of its meaning since Netanyahu and the US have been slinging it at everyone who criticizes Israel's politics of mass murder and apartheid.
