    Germany on “full democracy” at the same time it bans symbols of Palestinian support and uses the state’s violence to contain such manifestations.

      Germany bans stuff al the time. It’s a consequence of our history and the historic leniency towards extremist edges. Your example is debatable in it’s execution, the general thought however is not.

          I didn’t say not to protest.

          In fact protesting is incredibly useful when the calls of many go unheard or ignored.

          And having an effective protest is only possible if you can get a lot of people together, so it’s best to not shit on people from hello for saying exactly what you think is the “right” thing.

          Not to mention having a large community of people reaching out before having to protest is also helpful, so doing good community building is also important.

      I’d like to know your sources, because to my knowledge there is no such ban in Germany.

        ??? I am allowed to fly the Palestinian flag, attend the marches, and say the chants whenever I want. The only thing we really cannot do in America is disrupt college campuses while classes are in session and riot. The three things I listed earlier are completely banned in Germany.

          It was pro-Israel protesters that rioted and pro-Palestine/anti-genocide protesters that paid the price.
