Let's just agree that you're pretty biased. Israel runs no campaigns in Germany, the German-Israeli-Society is a German organisation, with mostly Germans as members, supported by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs and having members of German Parliament as Directors. So, let's assume, it's run according to the highest standards regarding political correctness in Germany. But as you may remember, German television specifically targeted Germans on vacation in Spain (specifically Mallorca) and also Germans living close to the borders to vote for Germany from abroad on multiple occasions in the last years, which can be considered voter fraud without any grey areas. On the other hand, you didn't join the German-British-Society or the German-Swedish-Society or any other society to check if they behave according to your self-defined standards, so I would say, you need to check your own moral compass.

Go through the DIG's press releases throughout the war. Their position almost exactly tracks the official position of the Netanyahu government, wrapped in some pseudo-progressive rhetoric (with one(!) notable exception where they criticized Smotrich for planning to officially annex the West Bank). Their positions are also more extreme than even the official German position, e.g. demanding Egypt to accept forced displacement of Gazans into Sinai and all but rejecting the two-state solution. They agitate against any and all groups that dare to show a Palestinian perspective, even established German antifascist groups like Arsch Huh or Israeli groups like Combatants for Peace. Their deep integration with the German political sphere tells more about the state of affairs in Germany than about the group. This is the political class' interpretation of the Staatsräson. I don't see any reason to assume "highest standards of political correctness" for them.
