    Ouff, the downvotes ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°).

    One day, it’s gonna be you, or your brother, or neighbor, or child, or mom, or friend, or colleague, or cashier.

    Keep on bowing down, it will end up well, just like last time, am i right?

    Can’t wait for the day Uk, Germany, France, the dictator USA and most importantly, news outlets are being held accountable for genocide.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if an organization like Canary Mission has been lobbying the German government to push these kinds of attacks.

      Right so you would have upheld and supported the 1982 Internal Security Acts in apartheid South Africa that outlawed chants like Mayibuye iAfrika because you “respect the law”

      Thanks for telling on yourself.

          You mean the ban defined by the International* (Norwegian) Holocaust Remembrance Alliance? The IHRA that defended Norway’s commemoration of the nazi Knut Hamsun? The same IHRA that defines antisemitism as “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.”?

          Though I’m guessing you mean specifically “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.”

          Which I thought I made pretty clear with the parallel between apartheid South Africa and apartheid Israel - just as I believe the colonial state of the US has no right to exist - so I believe that the colonial state of Israel has no right to exist either.

          So when I hear people chant “From the river to the sea” - I (and solidarity scholars) don’t see that as a call to violence against Jewish people - but as a reclamation of a slogan originally conjured up by Zionists for the equal rights of everyone in the Levant independent of their religion.
