As far as I am aware, Berlin is the only place that banned pro-Palestine protests. On Israel, while anti-zionism isn’t illegal, you have to be aware of what is criticism of Israel and what can be interpreted as antisemitism or hate speech. Hate speech against Palestinians is also illegal, but it seems people rarely report such instances to the authorities. Remember, calling for the elimination of a people is illegal, regardless of their ethnicity or nationality. Anti-Germans tend to be just as guilty of it as their extreme counterparts.
Is this representative of German anarchists as a whole or is this one or two idiots? Could it be an agent provocateur?
I downvoted the meme because from what I know of German anarchists, this isn’t representative of their views and one banner doesn’t necessarily mean very much on its own.
However, if there’s more to it than this then I’d be willing to change that downvote to an upvote.
Couldn’t give a fuck about your upvote but yes this is pretty much the norm for the German left. Zionism is part of the entire political spectrum over there.
No it isn’t. Anti-Germans aren’t that common unless you go to Hamburg or Leipzig. Most are rather non-Zionist than Zionist or anti-Zionist, especially after the Palestine genocide. It is unfair to make sweeping generalizations of the German left just because anti-Germans exist.
Thank you for your polite and informative response. It definitely shows you’re posting about politics in good faith and that I should never have been hesitant about the views of an account on the Lemmy.zip instance…
As I said before, one banner does not represent an entire movement. “Over there” implies you’re not there, immersed in it, so taking your word for it is pretty fucking difficult and you’ve provided no credible sources.
Here you go, I’ll spoon-feed you the information. You could have just done this yourself, but you wanna engage in bad faith. You can give me my upvote now.
Literally the 4th result if you Google “Zionism German left”. I’m sure you’re a big boy and could have just done this yourself but that would require you engaging in good faith, which you’re not.
Maybe next time you just shut your mouth if you have no idea what you’re talking about?

German anarchists having a normal one…
Yeah. Wow.
I’ve oft had to use “Not my left” to retort to peeps posting neoliberalism or totalitarianism as “the left”.
Seeing this, I see I need to start also saying “Not my anarchism” to some.
… But then, depends on which version of a newspeak dictionary one is using for “zionism”. :/ Too deep in this Orwellian hole for easy breathing space.
What in the radlib hell. How, who and why. These people give anarchism a bad rep. Wheres the counter protest??
someplace other than germany since they’ve basically criminalized pro-palestinian or anti-isreal protest.

is constantly a raging dickwad
“nobody wants to engage in good faith with me, waah.”
idk what they teach in the red circlejerk, but being a prick isn’t a personality.
Thank you. Was that so difficult? Did it require being a grumpy rude git? Asking for sources for claims isn’t bad faith.
Especially in a political environment that thrives on leftist infighting, and the only source provided being a blue check mark on a Nazi platform.
