    People might look a bit weird at you in Germany, but you would not be arrested.

      They arrested a jew for holding a sign saying “From the river to the sea, we demand equality”, for “inciting racial hatred”

      If you live in Germany, I suspect you haven’t been to a protest.

        That’s a forbidden saying in Germany and has nothing to do with the text in this post and you know that.

          They banned the phrase as part of a wider effort to crack down on pro-Palestine protests, and have arrested tons of protestors who have signs like “Freedom for Palestine,” and “Palestinian children deserve to grow up.” . If you don’t know that, you’ve never been to a protest that the police decided to shut down.

          Those who don’t move, don’t notice their chains.

            This has nothing to do with the post or what I said. Stop changing the topic.

              You said that someone would not be arrested for saying what was in OP in Germany, I gave examples of people being arrested for saying far, far less.

                “Far less” is unfortunately not a judicial category.

                People will not getting arrested for the text in OPs post, just stop spreading misinformation.

                  You think a country which arrests people for saying “From the river to the sea Palestine will be free” is going to allow calls for the wholesale slaughter of all Israeli children?
