    Bullshit

    This has likely more to domwith Germany still being “mea culpa” about the Nazis, desperately trying to show that they are not against Jews

    Maybe.

    Either way, calling this a Nazi action is just low

      Only a Racist nation would equate victimhood with ethnicity.

      The lesson learned from the last Holocaust should’ve been “Never again shall we allow this to be done to anybody” not the very different and deeply racist “Never again shall Germans do this to Jews”.

      The way of thinking that sees people as members of a Race and treats them differently based on that did not leave Germany when the Nazis were stopped: all that was done was that the list of “deserving” and “not deserving” races was updated. This is why we keep seeing Germany follow the principle of “even the most horrible and inhuman behaviours are acceptable if those committing them are from the right race”, same as they did in the “old days”.

      Still today there’s a lot of Racism in Europe, but nobody else is going around justifying the mass murder of children, and forcefully stamping out on dissent against that mass murder, because the genociders are from a specific race (which, “curiously” is a White one) and the victims are from a different race (which, “curiously” is a Non-White one).

      Compared to what the rest of Europe is doing, this is a lot more like the kind of Racism that was the foundation of Nazism than mere run-of-the-mill Racism, and the easy and casual subversion of Democratic principles merelly to stamp out dissent against such extreme Racist official position is another of those ways of behaving common in the “good old days”.

      Even the very idea that Israel is the same as the Jewish Ethnicity betrays a Racism that sees all Jews as the same and alld represented by and supporting of Israel, profound so even because it denies the view of those Jews who openly oppose the actions of Israel and its actions under its Zionist leadership. Even towards the very people they claim to have a duty to support, the German Power elites cannot stop themselves from being profoundly Racist.

      I used to have a very different view of Germany before the Israeli Genocide really brought up just how much guided by Racial Membership the German view of the World is, how extreme such view is in what it will excuse and just how thin the veneer of Democracy trully is there.

      It’s not Nazism, but it shares the very same foundations of prejudice, authoritarian leanings and lack of limits to what are acceptable actions from the “right” races.

      Banning a protest under whatever pretext they can come up with is definitely an authoritarian move. Giving police power to do that is not what a democracy should be doing.
