Germany’s Foreign Minister is heading to Israel to demand more humanitarian aid for Gaza, threatening consequences if Israel doesn’t comply, as suffering there has become unbearable. High-profile Germans are publicly demanding their government take a much tougher approach, including ending arms exports to Israel and suspending key agreements, while insisting on an immediate ceasefire and free humanitarian access. Meanwhile, the sole aid foundation in Gaza is facing criticism over its partiality and unsafe distribution, and ceasefire talks are deadlocked.

Let me be perfectly clear: all this international debate, political drama, and pressure is deeply frustrating for those of us who just want to exercise basic freedom—like driving a car whenever and wherever we want. Why are our governments focused on throwing ultimatums at each other, cutting deals behind closed doors, and letting bureaucrats tell us how to live our lives? It’s the same top-down mindset that treats citizens as children, forcing us to accept limits, restrictions, and regulations “for our own safety.”

Whether it’s politicians in Berlin debating Middle Eastern policy or city planners shoving speed bumps and red lights in our face, it’s the same philosophy of control. Today it’s arms embargoes and humanitarian corridors; tomorrow it’s another new public transit project or—worst of all—a fresh crackdown on speed limits. Every time they take a little more from us, whether it’s our right to drive 200 km/h on a beautiful stretch of Autobahn or our freedom to choose our own way to get places, it’s an assault on dignity and autonomy. Speed limits are not just inconvenient—they are an outright crime against humanity, a facist oppression that strangles the very soul of freedom. The right to drive, quickly and without arbitrary interference, is a fundamental human good, not some privilege to be rationed out by politicians.

When will those in power realize that real freedom is about letting people choose? I don’t want more discussions about “safe routes” or “controlled access.” I want to put my foot down on the gas and live! Stop telling me what’s good for me—let me drive, let everyone drive, and let us all decide for ourselves what speed is safe. We don’t need more rules to “protect” us. We need fewer. The real humanitarian crisis is when the state steals our liberty under the guise of benevolence. Let the cars go, smash the speed limits, and return the roads to the people!
