    Funny how those people protesting openly for Palestinians without any problem, the people constantly criticising Israel’s government openly and in the media and the people equally loudly critisising the German government for their one-sided comments in the beginning are somehow telling the story of how they are suppressed and censored. (Funnily enough the other half also criticed them, but for not instantly stopping humanitarian aid to Gaza… so basically it doesn’t matter anymore anyway. The government is wrong by definition, then people look for arguments to justify that statment.)

    And yeah, sure. We know that fairy tale about not being allowed to say anything is popular, the other morons on the conservative to right side sing the same song. But it gets really boring after a while. In particular when you complain about not being allowed to speak quite openly in the media.

    If you don’t feel home in Germany because the support of Israel after an outright terror attack frustrates you or because you feel censored for not being allowed to openly call for the murder of all jews (or the destruction of Germany to create a new caliphate here - yes that also happened and was a reason for some restrictions on protests), then we did a good job for once. Yes, you are not supposed to feel home here.

    The other saner ones can happily join with Germans also constantly criticising Israel. We know that there is no good side in this conflict. And Israel’s goverment has enough right-wing idiots competing with Hamas in insane genocide narratives (that are at best lightly criticised for their comments when such lunatics shouldn’t have a job in government at all) to have earned their fair share of the blame.

    Ffs… if you want to honestly criticise anything, then there is enough. Acts from fringe idiots against muslims are happening, just like acts of antisemitism are happening. Most of those are commited by a stupid minority that is fortunately shrinking, but sadly also becoming more radical and visible. I feel for everyone on both sides that is feeling less safe in Germany at the moment (although I really don’t think that this isn’t a German problem - not when I open international news and get similiar reports from elsewhere). That’s something we can’t talk enough about so please address those problems loudly.

    But people pretending to (or actually feeling) suppressed because they can’t call for a genocide openly anymore or who alternatively try to innocently criticise Israel’s government while openly associating with those genocidal voices… please leave.

    And people seeing a rise in antisemitic and anti-muslim actions rise side-by-side, even acknowledging that it’s coming from the same right-wing idiots (like the one quoted in the article), but then turning around and criticising Germany’s support of Israel’s right to exist as the reason to not feel at home here anymore… get your head checked.

    Or stop lying… saying you are not allowed to protest for a free country in a report that actually shows a picture from a recent demonstration, prominently showing “Freedom for Plalestine” and “Stop the occupation terror” banners is either delusional or a bad attempt of gas lighting.

        Oh, I get it. They expelled you half a century ago, like you did with them more than a century ago, like they did a few centuries ago, like you did several hundred years before that… and at some point we can also add christian crusaders to the mix for even more “fun”.

        So you (and I explicitly mean both sides here, equally infested with hateful morons) chose to fight for the sake of fighting until everyone is dead because you are all too dense to consider another option.

        Yeah, that famous “we don’t talk about and don’t teach history” in Germany with barely mentioning enough to use it as a cover for imaginary war crimes in all these wars Germany is involved in all over the world…

        Is there a common guide to your alternative reality or are you pulling this stuff out of your ass as you go?
