    They arrested a jew for holding a sign saying “From the river to the sea, we demand equality”, for “inciting racial hatred”

    If you live in Germany, I suspect you haven’t been to a protest.

      That’s a forbidden saying in Germany and has nothing to do with the text in this post and you know that.

        They banned the phrase as part of a wider effort to crack down on pro-Palestine protests, and have arrested tons of protestors who have signs like “Freedom for Palestine,” and “Palestinian children deserve to grow up.” . If you don’t know that, you’ve never been to a protest that the police decided to shut down.

        Those who don’t move, don’t notice their chains.

          This has nothing to do with the post or what I said. Stop changing the topic.

            You said that someone would not be arrested for saying what was in OP in Germany, I gave examples of people being arrested for saying far, far less.

              “Far less” is unfortunately not a judicial category.

              People will not getting arrested for the text in OPs post, just stop spreading misinformation.

                You think a country which arrests people for saying “From the river to the sea Palestine will be free” is going to allow calls for the wholesale slaughter of all Israeli children?

        So, you think that the demand for freedom for Palestine is worse than condoning the murder of babies and guilt by association? O.o

        Edit: Care to explain, why the phrase is forbidden in Germany?

          It is not about what I think is worse, but what the courts think.

          I can’t explain, but I am also not a representative of German courts.

            Ok. You think you wouldn’t get arrested for that kind of sentiment when the “from the river” phrase gets you arrested?

            I could explain it to you. From several standpoints. The official justification jusyifies the prohibition by claiming that it is an active appeal to kill all jews in Israel. About as horrible a statement as what that israeli woman states about palestinians.
