Opinion: Germany's zeal for Israeli genocide revives its dangerous exceptionalism
Germany is open about its uninhibited support for Israel's war of extermination and genocide in Palestine, and wants to make sure the entire world sees it. Recognition for its Zionist zeal enables Germany to rehabilitate its exceptionalism, or Sonderweg, with catastrophic consequences for Palestinians and international law. Germany is not uniquely evil among liberal democracies in offering Israel unconditional support in killing starving Palestinians. Chancellor Friedrich Merz is no more morally bereft than British Prime Minister Keir Starmer or French President Emmanuel Macron. But Germany exalts Zionist radical evil to assert its uniqueness. Germany remains as hungry for national identity as it has ever been, and nothing can stand in its way - least of all Palestinians, who appear in the German consciousness only when establishment forces fail to erase their existence. Germany's pursuit of greatness has unleashed immense violence and destruction, from genocidal conquests in Africa to two world wars and the extermination of European Jews. Its defeat and division after World War Two, and integration into Nato and the EU, seemed to put the German threat to rest. Yet Germany has bounced back with a vengeance, thanks to economic prowess and global reordering. While it has championed the rule of law and democracy within the EU like no other, it has not hesitated to set them aside when they conflict with its core interests - whether to impose its economic model and austerity on all member states, pursue energy policy at the expense of European partners (Nord Stream 2), or break fiscal rules it had imposed on the rest.

Explore Your Story, Rediscover Your City
In a city built on ambition and awe, it is easy to forget how stillness feels. We rush through weeks, commute along the same roads, pass the same buildings, without noticing how much wonder is quietly waiting for us to look up, to look closer. But sometimes, wonder does not come from distance. It comes from rediscovery. Dubai Deira and the Gold District, long known for trade, tradition, and the daily rhythm of the city, may not be the first places that come to mind for a break. But that is exactly what makes them perfect for a staycation. They do not promise escape; they offer something gentler: a pause, a shift in perspective, a chance to see the city not as a resident rushing through it, but as a curious explorer. Today, the Accor properties across the Dubai Gold District stand ready to welcome guests looking to reconnect with the city in a new way. With rooms starting from AED 130, curated dining experiences from AED 100, and themed nights at Novotel Dubai Gold District from just AED 79, it's the perfect invitation to slow down, settle in, and explore a different side of Dubai. It begins simply. With a check-in, not a departure. A bag packed light, or not at all. A decision to pause without leaving. To see the familiar through unfamiliar eyes. Step inside any one of Accor's thoughtfully placed hotels at Dubai Gold District, Novotel, Mercure, ibis Styles, and the shift is almost immediate. The noise of the city fades into the background. The room greets you like a deep breath. Spacious. Quiet. A world away from everything, yet right where you are. Each hotel brings its own character. At Novotel Dubai Gold District, the skyline stretches beyond the windows. There is a stillness on the rooftop, where the Aqua Pool Bar becomes a place to float, both above the city and away from its urgency. Mercure Dubai Gold District offers an experience steeped in quiet elegance. From its curated interiors to the inviting calm of Metro Café, it is a place where even a mid-morning coffee feels like a ritual. And come evening, the view from Esperia Bistro & Rooftop Lounge is worth lingering over, a spread of Mediterranean dishes paired with golden-hour conversations. ibis Styles adds a pop of playfulness. Perfect for travellers who want function without fuss yet still appreciate colour and character. At Table 3, you will find a menu that travels across borders; Asian fusion, Indian classics, Arabic comfort food, all without leaving your seat. There is no itinerary here. No pressure to do or see everything. The day unfolds on your terms. It starts with artisan coffee and a quiet journal session at Wynd Café. Or breakfast in bed, curtains still drawn, as the sun seeps softly into the room. Eventually, the city begins to call. The Gold Souk, the Spice Souk, Abra rides that glide across the Creek like echoes from another time. Boats hum against water that has witnessed centuries. The scent of spices wafts through the breeze, pulling you forward. The past and present meet in quiet corners and narrow alleys. And yet, no matter how far you wander, it is comforting to know what is waiting when you return. Dinner unfolds slowly. No rush. At The Spicery, nestled inside Novotel, the view competes with the flavour. Grilled spices, slow-cooked mains, international favourites with bold accents, the kind of dishes that feel comforting, even when they are new. A perfectly lit table, conversation flowing as softly as the music. This is not just a meal. It is a memory being made. The next day unfolds gently, inviting you to slow down and embrace some much-needed wellness. Begin with Novotel Dubai Gold District's newly launched Rooftop Yoga Activity at the rooftop Aqua Pool Bar, held every Sunday, where the sunrise bathes the skyline in soft hues. Or simply start your morning by soaking in the scenic city view and the sunlight warms your soul, brightening your day. Afterwards, head to Farmstead at Mercure Dubai Deira for an organic, garden-fresh breakfast, prepared with ingredients sourced straight from the property's own garden. Begin your day's exploration of the city with a cup of rich, locally roasted, aroma-filled coffee from the souk market, right at the property, then hop on a ride to Deira City Centre or take a spontaneous detour through the vibrant streets of Karama. Each stop offers a new perspective, and every return to the hotel feels like stepping back into serenity. By late afternoon, you find yourself back at the pool, watching the skyline change colour. The city moves beneath you. You do not have to. From this rooftop perch, everything seems to breathe a little slower. You included. And if the weekend lingers, there is more to discover, the heritage waterfront of Al Seef, the architectural poetry of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, the artistic quiet of Jaddaf Waterfront. Places that feel far yet sit just minutes away. What makes a staycation like this special is not what you check off a list. It is what you allow yourself to feel- the calm, the curiosity, the reconnection. Not just with the city, but with yourself. Rooms start from AED 130. But the value? That is felt in moments, not receipts. In the way you exhale without thinking. In how the city begins to look different. In how you begin to feel a little more like yourself. Because sometimes, the most meaningful journeys do not take you far. They bring you home to your city, your rhythm, your story. This is the magic of a staycation.
