     Except for being a political move, to ban an EU politician, isn't this a clear violation of Schengen agreement?
     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Agreement

     And in practical terms without actual borders how do they prevent someone from just driving from France, Netherlands into Germany?

     How can they know he is not IN GERMANY as they issued this ban?

     What are they going to do, open up a concentration camp for non-genocide supporters.

     The maturity of German politicians is of anthropological interest.

     @aral what puzzles me slightly is that Varoufakis posts still on Twitter. Hasn't he gotten the news this is a Nazi show now?

     Varoufakis is an attention addicted, trouble making prat. Germany is doing the right thing.

     Ssh, mustn’t upset the plebs, eh? Their little minds couldn’t possibly take being exposed to dangerous ideas like maybe we shouldn’t be complicit in genocide (you know, after that whole Holocaust oopsie). Daddy knows best.

     @aral FFS. People on social can be intensely opinionated - I get that - but this coupling of ignorance and strong opinion is something I was hoping we left at Xitter.

     Germany is a powder keg. Berlin in particular.
     Free speech is being sacrificed with some regularity to retain peace, much to the benefit of the population.

     When people bring Zionism into a debate about a fascist regime warring with a guerilla org, they dumb down what could have been a useful discussion.
