    You ever wonder why there are no videos of cops tackling and punching white supremacists during their protests?

    (It’s cause the cops are on their side.)

    It’s crazy how this makes headlines around the world, yet we’ve had cops behave ten times worse with protesters here in Germany and it never leaves fringe news outlets. Not even one big German news outlet explicitly talks or goes into details on the cases of brutal police violence happening here. It feels like I’m living in a dystopian future. Beware, this is coming to you too.

      It’s because of our past and now Israel can do no wrong and anyone who even hints at Israel doing a genocide is an antisemitic Nazi sympathizer. The media and politics bias is extreme

        I’m part jewish myself. My great grandmother was killed by the nazis during the Holocaust. Yet Germans are trying to gaslight people like me for speaking about the fact that Palestinians are humans and should be treated as such. All of the German talk about “Erinnerungskultur” (memory culture) makes me want to puke. It feels very performative and void of any substance.

            So the guy you just linked as a historian (one historian, not historians) is an ex AfD (extremist right wing party) politician.

            Has he published any books on Israel Palestine or why would whatever he says be worth a dime?

            On another note, I find it hilarious that he uses the example of illegal israeli settlers getting attacked by the local population after driving through the West Bank, which last time I checked was definitely NOT in Israel and absolutely no one welcomed them there. Now I wonder, what were these Israelis doing there in illegally occupied territories? And he uses that as an example to justify his racist ideology that every single Palestinian would “stab an israeli in the back if they had the chance”. The german delusions at their best.

                You literally copy pasted the comment that was removed by the mods by that other user. Go look at the reply I left there if you want an answer. I don’t know if you’re a bot or not, but this is the exact comment that was left here already, with the exact same grammatical mistakes.

                If the international law is so clear cut then Israel would’ve left the territories it occupies illegally under international law. They’ve been invading, occupying and settling for decades. That is illegal and has been declared as such by the UN. Israel actively goes against international law. So get off your high horse there.

                But look, at least the people out of your German bubble, the people around the world, can see how delusional the German society really is. You’re boiling in your own delusions. A fever dream, a parallel reality that even Israel allies do not share with you. Not even America. It’s going to be a hard wakeup call when these delusions come crumbling down around you.

      Enormous numbers of German Jews being targeted by a Berlin PD that just got caught in a giant pro-Nazi Cops scandal a couple of years ago, all under the guise of the antisemitism statutes.

      If I didn’t know better, I might begin to suspect German obsequious deference to their shameful history has been twisted into a new state-sanctioned Kristallnacht.

      If it makes you feel any vindication, the fact that this was reported by news outlets here means nothing. This cop will never see punishment beyond a slap on the wrist or some paid administrative leave at best. Police violence has already been institutionalized in America too.

    Fucking disgusting.
    That’s not proper procedure, that’s assault. I would totally back that crowd if they swarmed in and beat the shit out of those cops after seeing that.

      Honestly, until the working class realizes the cops work for the capitalists and are there to protect their property, not civilians, we will see more “don’t have anything to fear” crowd stepping in to assist against this kind of thing.

      However, most are still hung up on wedge issues like abortion to unite against the powers of their own oppression. So long as cops are seen as protectors to some, we will have bootlickers tonguing some pork brown-eye.

    It’s Pro-Palestinian

    Seen this ani/pro Gaza, as another small propaganda step, to not talk about Palestine or the people.

      You’re strawmanning it. Protesting to stop bombing civilians in Gaza is not the same as supporting Hamas.

      Unless by “protest in favor of a mass murdering genocidal terrorist organization” you mean the pro-IDF rallies right?

          What could Hamas do to stop the violence?

          At the moment, they’re desperately negotiating for a ceasefire in Egypt. But without an Israeli government willing to accept an offer, there’s nothing they can do because they’re not the ones with the tanks and the bombers.

          You can not just go somewhere without a permission and occupy other peoples property.

          You absolutely can and people routinely do.

          The dudes could protest 365 days a year on roads where they have permission.

          Who grants permission to access public property?

          Sack them. Fine them. Teach them.

          What?

              Sure Hamas begs for a cease fire because Israel is tearing them a structurally superfluous new a-hole.

              They’re butchering civilians, flattening hospitals, and sending IDF ground troops in to do TikTok dances in rooms full of women’s lingerie while blood is still visible on the walls.

              And then you are regularly arrested for trespassing and damage to property.

              Setting aside the abysmal crime clearance rate for breaking-and-entering, you’re only subject to arrest if you’re on the wrong side of the police. This leads to a peculiar situation in which law enforcement can and do break into people’s property, ransack it, and occasionally kill the inhabitants, without consequence. What’s more, civilians allied with the police can raid property and engage in assault without consequence, because a given officer/DA tacitly approves of the offense.

              Shame on you if you tell people to disregard the law

              When might makes right, there is no law to disregard.
