Absolutely not.
My point is that besides antisemitism (widespread, and disgraceful), the demonstrations stem from well-founded humanitarian concerns. The German government has only offered empty words in that respect. As an allied of Israel, it could do much more.
The UN SecGen Guterres put it in better words than I can:

Regarding "carpet bombing". If that seems exaggerated to you, let's use IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari's words: “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy”. Satellite images show entire neighborhoods flattened[1] to facilitate the ground incursion. Those were residential buildings.
