Said guy whose government is arresting people for protesting genocide this government support.
Derailing from what? The genocidal support govt actually being “authoritarian” right now on the streets, trying to scaremonger people by their political opponent being more “authoritarian” in theory and in the future?
This is by itself 100% derailing tactic against the critiques falling on them. Maybe if they try to address the actual issues they wouldn’t have to fear far-right party which was marginal few years ago.

I think you know that one cannot engage by politics with Nazis to turn them. Far-right ideologies weren’t marginal, they simply had no platform, the backlash of 2015 (nine years ago) didn’t came out of nowhere.
The situation in the Middle East is sad, but it is not the “actual issue” in Germany at the moment.
- The AfD will not scrap their plans if the situation in the Middle East improves.
- Racist, far-right voters will not stop being racist, far-right voters if the situation in the Middle East improves.
- Racist, far-right media will not stop being racist, far-right media if the situation in the Middle East improves.
Planning the deportation of millions of people based on racism from Germany is more relevant to German politics and this discussion at the moment than the politics of the Middle East that may or may not resemble this.

It’s funny that you asked. Kinda shows that you didn’t even read the title of the post, let alone the article. It’s just “yeah, German politics, let me write what bothers me!!”
Nobody was arrested for protesting against Israel or genocide in Germany. That’s a blatant lie. Some people are being arrested temporary for their call to murder all Jews. There is a clear difference: There are thousands of people protesting peacefully against Israel’s war - only a few of them are overstepping hard while doing so. Stopping these select people from committing further crimes in accordance with the state of law is called nuance.
Don’t commit crimes in Germany (call for murder) and nobody will arrest you.

The German state’s show of support has led to an outright banning of most pro-Palestine protests.
On October 13, Berlin police declared uttering the slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” forbidden and indictable.
