    Are you talking about Germany’s ban on fascist symbols and Holocaust denial?

    If so, calling that “fascist behavior” is the dumbest shit I’ve heard in a while. Seriously below “what happened to the tolerant left” level.

      No censorship of speech has always been liberal. /s Also its kidna funny how eastern european countries now have stronger foundations of liberal democracy than germany, since statements like “from the river to the sea” are not criminalized as antisemitic.

      I believe he’s talking about Germany not allowing critique on war crimes and mass murder if perpetrated by Israel.

        And that is not on a criminal level but instead on a political.

        It is legally perfectly allowed to critique Israel. So the OP still would be wrong.

            That’s wrong. You can criticise Israel all day long, but you may maneuver yourself into problems if you mix up the Jews (as in anti-semitic rhetoric) with the the state of Israel.

            Really? I can’t remember that anybody got legally punished for criticizing Israel, but I might just not remember it. Can you provide sources for your claim?
