The country’s authorities have banned many protests in the name of fighting antisemitism. Critics say such restrictions are discriminatory.

The police in Berlin said they had blocked over half of the 41 scheduled Gaza solidarity protests, sometimes on the grounds that they would “emotionalize” residents of Palestinian origin. These included a children’s demonstration to mourn the Palestinian children killed by Israeli strikes in the past month. Permitted protests were banned from using slogans such as “stop the war” and “free Palestine.”

    I want to hear the German government say exactly this. I’d love to hear “hey Hamas, fuck you, you terrorist fucks. Don’t kill Israeli civilians. Hey Israel, fuck you, too, if you continue killing children. Stop your war crimes”. They are not saying anything to condemn Israel’s obvious war crimes. It’s such a sad thing to see.
