It's not just that another Jewish woman (Hadas) was arrested in Berlin for a sign with the six-pointed star, it's that cops are doing this in name of "fighting anti-semitism." (the Star of David was coloured in Palestine colours.) I wonder how all this will look in the history books.

We all have noticed that they put the most racist cops to police the Gaza protests. They shout insults, humiliate you etc. And there is no reason why German racists would limit their bigotry to Muslims. They must be having a field day, getting to lock up and terrorise Jews in the name of anti-semitism, all while beating up pregnant women, teenagers etc.

At the protest in Bonn I saw a person taken for a sign reading "stop the second Nakba". This while Israeli commentators are openly calling for a second Nakba. lots more are being detained for signs or shouts calling for a stop to genocide. the logic apparently being that if you call what Israel is doing a genocide, you're denying the State's "self-defense" and therefore the unquestionable by law "right to exist". therefore protesting against genocide is a crime in Germany.

and what's heartbreaking to me is that most white leftists are on board with this. spaces and groups that I trusted all flying the "gegen jeden Antisemitismus" + Israel flag emoji...
