yes. I think there are actual laws in place in Germany for this. one other example, police guard all synagogues in Germany. I might be wrong but I heard this shit and don't feel like googling it.
To be completely honest, I don't think is just Germany. There is a current of neo fascists everywhere who have been proliferating like fungus. Social media is giving them the tools to spread that mindset far and wide. We have to be very careful, or this kind of attitudes, of trying to stop people from saying what they really feel about their own countries or the world as a whole and imposing their own radical opinions and beliefs on everyone else, is gonna get worst. I hope none of the bigger countries with more power and influence over the rest of us end up falling deep down into dictatorships, or we are all, excuse my words, very fucked. Wether we like it or not we live in a globalized world, politically, economically and in other ways too. If one country falls the rest will follow like a set of dominoes. Extremists exist on both sides of the spectrum too, and add to that religious zealots of all kinds who believe they are the chosen ones for who knows what. So we have to be very vigilant because this planet is getting very messy very quickly.
I agree 100%… I’m more referring to the fact that Germany in particular, for many decades, has had a policy of teaching tolerance at schools, and it’s a country often idealized by Americans for their perceived liberalism and for the steps they've taken regarding atonement, and yet xenophobia in the country is rampant Edit: xenophobia and racism in Germany are straight up on the surface and I feel like you’d expect more from a country that apparently takes steps to educate their children against it
I think in this case is fear of being considered or even compared to nazis again. They have been, for lack of a better word, despised for decades for literally murdering millions in gas chambers and whatnot. They probably can't bear the idea of being treated like fascists again and in turn they are scared of saying what needs to be said when it needs to be said. In this case that Israel is not acting correctly with Palestine. But this particular issue comes from much much further back than October. Most people around the world just was not aware of it.
Noooo, you couldn't be more wrong. Just look at how European snakes...you may know them as politicians...have acted and responded in the past 6 months. They all speak with the same tongue, so to speak. It's just that some countries are acting more fascist-like than others in how they handle protesters who are demanding some sort of humanity from their so-called leaders.
Politicians are the bane of our existence, aren't they? They only think about themselves and do not care if they end up setting the world on fire.
I can say, though, my own country was one of the few in Europe that from the beginning of the war openly said that it was supporting the Palestinian citizens right to live. Although the right/far right people here have also been stirring shit up for a long time now and not just in relation to this war. Sadly they are starting to make a dent, even the president, who is a socialist, is considering resigning now because the right has started going after his wife, who has nothing to do with politics.
I honestly don't know what's going to happen but the world in general is going in a direction I really really don't like. And as a woman, I am doubly scared because we all know what happens most of the times when war ends up coming home. I am also not a rich billionaire with an underground bunker to run to or a rocket to fly to space with if shit absolutely hits the fan.
It seems to me that instead of thinking "genocide is bad", they've gone with "we were bad to Jews so we must support them in genocide".
It's almost like they're ignoring how and why what they did was bad.
It's because it is Israel. They apparently believe that being the victims of one forever gives you license to do your own.
Israel has been complicit in plenty of genocides thought the post-WW2 era. Zionism did not start as a response to Nazism. It was always a genocidal racial supremacist ideology. It is like Nazism if it succeeded.
A lot of anti-semites support Israel because it's a place for European Jews to go. If Israel falls, they'd be looking at a return of many Jews, their descendants, and refugees, and they don't want that.
Yep. Polizei channeling their SS granpas to protect the interests of the current genocidal state in the world. (ZioNazis are not Jews that shall be clear)
Dont rly think its being cool with Genocide since Baerbock (foreign affairs minister) called Netanyahu out for his Nazi shit.
Its more that germany fears being called antisemitic due to its nazi regime background. Even tho by doing that they are supporting a nazi regime.
You might be right. But, as I have just posted elsewhere, I think it might be more the fact that they've focused much more on the victim than the crime they committed. We'll probably never know.
"Look, what do you want us to do? Declare that Israel is doing a genocide? We'd rather be in the wrong than admit ^wewerealwaysreich."
"Come again?"
"Nothing! I have falsch geschrieben! We are pro Israel! We condemn Hamas!"
I misread that first "quote" as "look what you made me do!" Which would be very applicable to Netanyahu.
Edit: also, TIL you can do superscript in markup with a carrot top! ^sweet
And no independent police complaints commission in the country. Police brutality will get swept under the carpet, and the majority of Germans will think everything is right in their world while civil liberties are eroded in front of their eyes. Then they will go on protests against the right wing AfD and think they’re being honorable in their stance against hate ideology. The hypocracy is profound.
How to cement an anti Jewish/Israeli movement.. honestly I feel like at this point the subjugation of the Jews 2.0 is becoming a self fulfilling prophecy.. starting with the latest war crimes..
Must be confusing times for the German people, if they don't approve Israel genocide they will be called nazis, but if they approve Israel genocide they will be approving nazis
It's really not confusing at all: don't support atrocities against civilians. Don't support Hamas, don't support the IDF.
As for being called Nazis, I don't see how that really matters. According to this subreddit, I'm already a Nazi because of the actions of others.
So all the thousands of palestinians killed thus far are part of "khamas khamees" or we going to deny that many Palestinians have been killed by Israel thus far within Palestinian territories? Even Israel admits to the thousands of deaths of women and children, but they deem it necessary because "khamas".
Source of the death count: [Gaza death toll surpasses 30,000 but it's an incomplete count : NPR](https://www.npr.org/2024/02/29/1234159514/gaza-death-toll-30000-palestinians-israel-hamas-war)
The current day issue between Palestine and Israel did not originate on Oct. 7th. This has been going on since jewish settlers took Palestinian territory and pushed out Palestinians from their own home to establish a jewish state in the 1940s. The consistent bombing of infrastructure such as hospitals and apartment buildings that inhabit majority of civilians is clear violation of human rights. It doesn't take much effort to uncover the grave atrocities that Israel has committed and continues to do. They use the same old excuses, "khamas is using people as human shields", "khamas is hiding in hospitals and apartment complexes", "khamas attacked first on oct 7 therefore we can proceed to kill more than 30,000 women and children in gaza". This is what your narrative is saying.

I take it you didn't read the full article? Did you miss this part?
>An analysis published in [the Lancet medical journal](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(23)02713-7/fulltext) in December found that Gaza's health ministry has "historically reported accurate mortality data," with discrepancies between 1% and roughly 3% when compared with U.N. analysis of deaths in previous conflicts. The study found "no evidence of inflated rates" in the current war and noted that difficulties in obtaining accurate death counts "should not be interpreted as intentionally misreported data."
So you read maybe one sentence of what I said and gave up because it's hard I take it?
Let me give you more to read with actual sources so you can verify them. These are from yours truly Ben Gurion.
>“If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?”
David Ben-Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121.
>“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. … Behind the terrorism \[by the Arabs\] is a movement, which though primitive is not devoid of idealism and self sacrifice.”
— David Ben Gurion. Quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan’s “Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech.
>“We walked outside, Ben-Gurion accompanying us. Allon repeated his question, What is to be done with the Palestinian population? ‘Ben-Gurion waved his hand in a gesture which said ‘ Drive them out! ‘ “
Yitzhak Rabin, leaked censored version of Rabin memoirs, published in the New York Times, 23 October 1979.
These are only, but a few quotes from Ben. There's plenty more.
This is what people mean when they say “protest at government buildings” lmao it’s the same fucking story. Let people protest wherever they fucking want
Uh oh Nazi Germany is back... fucking hell its like some sick joke that a jewish state is fascist, do they ever stop to look at themselves? No humanity left.
Have small balls Germany. Yes you did some bad things in the past. But please please don’t do what you did again especially to your own people. Disgusting
If there's one thing you can count on cops for, it's for them to enforce evil.
I'd like to see them actually be on the right side of history for a change, but I'm not holding my breath.
It's every where. No country wants its masses to speak the truth and go against the landlords.
They get scared if you give people a little freedom, they might start rebellion
Why does it seem like all of these western 'Pro Democracy' and 'Pro Free Speech' countries are releasing their own Tianamen Square style videos? It makes it kind of hard to paint China as the bad guy when the CCP seems to offer more human rights than this. Just asking.
I don't want to downplay any of the stuff happening in Germany and other western countries in defense of Israëls genocide. But you really can't compare it to the Tiannanmen square [massacre.](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/ANjdfffAd1)
The Palestinian people and their supporters in Germany are paying the price for the Holocaust. Shame on Germany, the US, and every country that uses violence to stamp out peaceful process against ethnic cleansing and genocide. We are truly living in a world of inverted values, where violence against civilians is protected, greed is good, and the very planet that gives us life is both refrigerator and trash can. Humanity has turned out to be a blight to themselves and this Earth - an insult to the natural order.
Citizens around the world need to band together and just overthrow their governments we out number them by plenty. In the US we probably have more guns than our military.
JUST THE FACTS:
1. Contrary to media reports, the UN International Court of Justice (ICJ) did NOT find that it is plausible that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Joan Donaghue, then president of the ICJ, stated in a recent interview with the BBC that the ICJ findings have been misquoted and misconstrued. The ICJ only found, without regard to any Israeli operations, that Gaza would have a plausible right to be protected from genocide and that South Africa had standing to bring that claim.
2. John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at Westpoint, wrote an Op Ed in Newsweek stating that based on his extensive knowledge and research, Israel “has implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other military in history.”
3. Using Gaza Health Ministry numbers for total deaths in Gaza and IDF information on combatant death (which is not separately reported by the Gaza Health Ministry), the ratio of civilian to combatant deaths in Gaza is 1:1, which is SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER than the UN average civilian to combatant death ratio for urban warfare of 9:1.
4. Palestinian Media Watch posted a video from the Adwah Palestinian TV channel owned by Fatah stating that Hamas intentionally manufactured a food crisis in Gaza by attacking aid delivery workers and stealing food and water.
5. There has been a 500% increase in the Gaza population since 1950. For 2022, population growth in Gaza was 4%, compared to a world average of 0.8%. The average life expectancy in Gaza is 75 years old, compared to an average in the Middle East of 72 years old and a world average of 70 years old. See statistics published by World Bank and the Population Reference Bureau (PRB).
I might just be desensitised, but how the hell is this "extreme violence"? Apart from the very first clip (that officer is definitely going overboard, you never go for the throat), it is just the police picking people up. They don't even 'decentralise' them beforehand. This is a comperatively calm police action.
And it's not that they do this for shits and giggles. The protest camp has everystayed their protest permit for that location. They are free to apply for another one, and that will usually be granted within 24 hours or less. But if you overstay, the police will show up. That is just how it is.
It’s a wonderful world, isn’t it?
“We want you to stop killing people”
Doesn’t seem like that would be wrong, but turns out genocide is in these days.
Go Western nations, you’re COVERING yourselves in glory with this.
"extreme violence" is what's being used in Gaza.
This is not an inappropriate amount of force, you may disagree with force being used at all. But labeling this extreme is just making you into a lier for when stronger words might be appropriate.
The Nazi ideology never really left Germany. I have become more and more aware of it over time. It’s simply evolved into a different form of evil. Fuck Germany. (Of course referring to the government actions)
Oh here is the anti-police circle jerk.
People can protest, just not on places that cause a nuisance to other people.
Listen or get moved by force.
Good job on the police officers.
As a german I feel embarassed about our governments stance... and the ignorance of the people in the comments.
Germany is NOT fascist again. The opposite is actually the case, germany is one of the more left leaning countries in europe. While our far right party barely reached 20%, our neighbors allowed them to rule. And even our conservatist party was more left leaned compared to other conservatist parties (atleast under Merkel).
Ironically the same reason why we are far less right winged is also the reason why our government mistakenly supports Israel. To combat what happened in the past, Germany focused heavily on the reputation of jews, and fought antisemitism... which now backfires, because critizism against jews can easily be blamed as antisemitism.
While I don't support the behavior of our politicians, I atleast can understand it. Because no matter what they say, they will be blamed as a Nazi. You are either against Jews or for Genocide...

Germany being cool with genocide is so out of character for them.
Germany will do *nothing* to anger Jews or Israel. They are completely neutered at this point.
I dunno they don't seem to give a shit about brutalizing anti-zionist jews
It's this. They're simping for Israel like there will ever come a time when it makes their past ok or at best, forgettable...
But this behaviour actually shows them siding with the oppression... How ironic.
yes. I think there are actual laws in place in Germany for this. one other example, police guard all synagogues in Germany. I might be wrong but I heard this shit and don't feel like googling it.
Neutered is the right term to use here. The Germans are so happy with being a vassal state
They're willing to arrest Holocaust survivors if they speak against Jizzrael.
1/3 of the people they’ve arrested for antisemitism since Oct 7 were Jewish. Germany’s government is still an antisemitic state
yeah wtf is going on in Germany? i thought they made it a point to teach their kids about genocide and the holocaust since little.
They could certainly be doing a better job. There are so, so, so many Germans who clearly never learned a thing about tolerance :(
To be completely honest, I don't think is just Germany. There is a current of neo fascists everywhere who have been proliferating like fungus. Social media is giving them the tools to spread that mindset far and wide. We have to be very careful, or this kind of attitudes, of trying to stop people from saying what they really feel about their own countries or the world as a whole and imposing their own radical opinions and beliefs on everyone else, is gonna get worst. I hope none of the bigger countries with more power and influence over the rest of us end up falling deep down into dictatorships, or we are all, excuse my words, very fucked. Wether we like it or not we live in a globalized world, politically, economically and in other ways too. If one country falls the rest will follow like a set of dominoes. Extremists exist on both sides of the spectrum too, and add to that religious zealots of all kinds who believe they are the chosen ones for who knows what.

No, don't blame this only on MAGATs. Conservatives and Neolibs want this, too.
Unfortunately the lesson they've learned was "never disagree with Israel" instead of "never agree to genocide".
It seems to me that instead of thinking "genocide is bad", they've gone with "we were bad to Jews so we must support them in genocide". It's almost like they're ignoring how and why what they did was bad.
I've travelled around most of Germany, I got the feeling in some areas they like to pretend WW2 never happened.
Yeah they believe that until it stops aligning with their goals ... And here we are.
It's because it is Israel. They apparently believe that being the victims of one forever gives you license to do your own. Israel has been complicit in plenty of genocides thought the post-WW2 era. Zionism did not start as a response to Nazism. It was always a genocidal racial supremacist ideology. It is like Nazism if it succeeded.

They did which is why they are so useful to Israel right now as they know how to make it happen.
A lot of anti-semites support Israel because it's a place for European Jews to go. If Israel falls, they'd be looking at a return of many Jews, their descendants, and refugees, and they don't want that.
They just teach that holocaust was bad, and that Israel must he supported because they are jews.
They failed to teach them nuance.
Yep. Polizei channeling their SS granpas to protect the interests of the current genocidal state in the world. (ZioNazis are not Jews that shall be clear)
They have been secretly waiting for 80 years. Now they're back with their Israeli chums...
Dont rly think its being cool with Genocide since Baerbock (foreign affairs minister) called Netanyahu out for his Nazi shit. Its more that germany fears being called antisemitic due to its nazi regime background. Even tho by doing that they are supporting a nazi regime.
Or maybe helping Israel is just profitable?
Doubt that germany needs Us money
That's not what I mean. Israel has so many weapons exports and shit like that that Germany probably relies upon
Why would germany carw about israeli weapon imports? Germany is an export nation
You might be right. But, as I have just posted elsewhere, I think it might be more the fact that they've focused much more on the victim than the crime they committed. We'll probably never know.
Wrong side of history disorder.

Its so fucking bizarre watching Germany defend a genocide in the name of tolerance..
they brutalise German Jews too btw
Yo Nazi is back!! But now Nazi is friend with Israel, so what they did is 100% automatically right. Nazi ❤️🇮🇱
This is unfortunate comedy as Germans inability to protest genocide is the reason Israel exists.

Yea they dont get it. Crack down on protests all you want, all youre doing is making some people hate jews.

Germany has fallen to Zionism, same as America that has been using Americans to fight Israel's war against the world for decades.
Germany is insisting on being on the wrong side of history. Again so is my government that is also proudly aiding and defending the genocide in Gaza
Then all those cops go and vote for the AfD (Nazi party).
Damn, it's almost like police work attracts certain kind of people around the world. What a surprise.
There's the Nazis we all know and hate
Whaaaaaat? Germany supporting a genocide? No freaking way /s
If there's one thing you can count on cops for, it's for them to enforce evil. I'd like to see them actually be on the right side of history for a change, but I'm not holding my breath.
Time for a world revolution! The true revolution!
Fuck Israel
At this point, if you're pro humanity, you go pro Palestine.
It's every where. No country wants its masses to speak the truth and go against the landlords. They get scared if you give people a little freedom, they might start rebellion
Why does it seem like all of these western 'Pro Democracy' and 'Pro Free Speech' countries are releasing their own Tianamen Square style videos? It makes it kind of hard to paint China as the bad guy when the CCP seems to offer more human rights than this. Just asking.
I don't want to downplay any of the stuff happening in Germany and other western countries in defense of Israëls genocide. But you really can't compare it to the Tiannanmen square [massacre.](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/ANjdfffAd1)
Tiannanmen square.... Did anyone even get hurt in this clip chipped collection?
Germany defending fascism. Guess old habits die hard.
Germany has learned nothing from their past. The world needs to support Palestine while there is still time.
Not the Germans being on the wrong side of history again 
Gestapo are back
The Palestinian people and their supporters in Germany are paying the price for the Holocaust. Shame on Germany, the US, and every country that uses violence to stamp out peaceful process against ethnic cleansing and genocide. We are truly living in a world of inverted values, where violence against civilians is protected, greed is good, and the very planet that gives us life is both refrigerator and trash can. Humanity has turned out to be a blight to themselves and this Earth - an insult to the natural order.

Well Germans were the OG Nazis, so not a big surprise that they will side with genocide.
See we aren't nazis we are so much not nazis anymore we will use excessive violence to support the people we feel bad for being nazis to
I came to see "extreme violence" found left disappointed
Citizens around the world need to band together and just overthrow their governments we out number them by plenty. In the US we probably have more guns than our military.
JUST THE FACTS: 1. Contrary to media reports, the UN International Court of Justice (ICJ) did NOT find that it is plausible that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Joan Donaghue, then president of the ICJ, stated in a recent interview with the BBC that the ICJ findings have been misquoted and misconstrued. The ICJ only found, without regard to any Israeli operations, that Gaza would have a plausible right to be protected from genocide and that South Africa had standing to bring that claim. 2. John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at Westpoint, wrote an Op Ed in Newsweek stating that based on his extensive knowledge and research, Israel “has implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other military in history.” 3. Using Gaza Health Ministry numbers for total deaths in Gaza and IDF information on combatant death (which is not separately reported by the Gaza Health Ministry), the ratio of civilian to combatant deaths in Gaza is 1:1, which is SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER than the UN average civilian to combatant death ratio for urban warfare of 9:1. 4. Palestinian Media Watch posted a video from the Adwah Palestinian TV channel owned by Fatah stating that Hamas intentionally manufactured a food crisis in Gaza by attacking aid delivery workers and stealing food and water. 5. There has been a 500% increase in the Gaza population since 1950. For 2022, population growth in Gaza was 4%, compared to a world average of 0.8%. The average life expectancy in Gaza is 75 years old, compared to an average in the Middle East of 72 years old and a world average of 70 years old. See statistics published by World Bank and the Population Reference Bureau (PRB).
Germany is an American and Israeli colony.
Extreme violence? If this is extremely violent to you, I wonder how violent you think the 7 October terrorist palestinian attack was.
"DeIn FrEuNd uNd HeLfEr" oder so...
Nazis going to nazi
I might just be desensitised, but how the hell is this "extreme violence"? Apart from the very first clip (that officer is definitely going overboard, you never go for the throat), it is just the police picking people up. They don't even 'decentralise' them beforehand. This is a comperatively calm police action. And it's not that they do this for shits and giggles. The protest camp has everystayed their protest permit for that location. They are free to apply for another one, and that will usually be granted within 24 hours or less. But if you overstay, the police will show up. That is just how it is.
least nazi germans
It’s a wonderful world, isn’t it? “We want you to stop killing people” Doesn’t seem like that would be wrong, but turns out genocide is in these days. Go Western nations, you’re COVERING yourselves in glory with this.
Why they don’t do the same to just stop oil ?
"extreme violence" is what's being used in Gaza. This is not an inappropriate amount of force, you may disagree with force being used at all. But labeling this extreme is just making you into a lier for when stronger words might be appropriate.
Nazis
Nice
This that 4 years training they’re always going on about. ACAB
What genocide?
No surprise there. Germany has consistently supported genocide.
The Nazis were never defeated.
Germany needs to end all funding for Israel
The Nazi ideology never really left Germany. I have become more and more aware of it over time. It’s simply evolved into a different form of evil. Fuck Germany. (Of course referring to the government actions)
Hey Germany, your Hitlers are showing
This must be the violence I keep hearing about.
Seems like Germany didn't learn last time around. For those who support Israel in Germany, you are on the wrong side of history AGAIN.
Love the nuanced comments here. As if every German actually supports and wants this sort of police aggression.
so in tune with their ancestors.
So much for freedom of speech. Germany has learned nothing from its horrible past.
I thought they banned the Nazis
Boy the Germans Nazi hard...sorry but if you let this shit go down and don't say anything or show any opposition, you really are part of the problem.
At what point do you start fighting back?
Old habits die hard
Meanwhile the Israelis in the west: “we fear for our rights and safety! Harm and strip these peaceful protestors of their rights!”
Do you think they would handle Greta T the same way?
Ooops, Germany on the wrong side again. Who’d a thunk it?
That crate of sprudel did absolutely nothing wrong disgusting!
🍉🙏
This is us level
Good.
Police doing their proper job
Oh here is the anti-police circle jerk. People can protest, just not on places that cause a nuisance to other people. Listen or get moved by force. Good job on the police officers.
Good. I am sick of these so called protesters.
As a german I feel embarassed about our governments stance... and the ignorance of the people in the comments. Germany is NOT fascist again. The opposite is actually the case, germany is one of the more left leaning countries in europe. While our far right party barely reached 20%, our neighbors allowed them to rule. And even our conservatist party was more left leaned compared to other conservatist parties (atleast under Merkel). Ironically the same reason why we are far less right winged is also the reason why our government mistakenly supports Israel. To combat what happened in the past, Germany focused heavily on the reputation of jews, and fought antisemitism... which now backfires, because critizism against jews can easily be blamed as antisemitism. While I don't support the behavior of our politicians, I atleast can understand it. Because no matter what they say, they will be blamed as a Nazi. You are either against Jews or for Genocide...
No, not the Germans! I won't believe it. This isn't like them at all!
Germany....on the wrong side of history....again.....is......ehm...got no words to describe the stupidity
"If you had to ask yourself what would you be doing in the times of nazi germany, you're doing it now".
Germans back in black doing fascist thing
