Maybe you belief German Jews than:

The President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany Josef Schuster expresses deep concern about the AfD’s high poll numbers.

“The right-wing extremist party currently has nationwide support that I would not have imagined even in my nightmares, and this causes me serious concern,” said Schuster in an interview with Web.de.News.

The AfD is ‘largely nationalist, racist, and ethnically exclusive,’ and it ‘clearly also embodies Nazi ideals,’ added the Central Council President. ‘If a party like the AfD were ever to be part of a federal government, one would have to seriously consider whether Jewish life is still possible in Germany.’

Schuster recalled that Charlotte Knobloch, a Holocaust survivor and President of the Munich Jewish Community, said in 2006 that the Jews in Germany had finally unpacked their bags.

‘That statement was absolutely accurate at the time,’ he said. ‘Today, one or two people are already looking in the attic where they stowed the empty suitcase, so they can have it ready to hand again.”

Stop making broad claims just because you read one article on Wikipedia.

Do you really belief such protests on an unprecedented scale are happening all over Germany (my country) because the AfD doesn’t like terrorists?

Yeah, probably. I should’ve put a little more time into it before commenting.

TBH, I have very little knowledge on Germany’s political scene, I only ever really hear about AfD and how Germany’s hate speech laws are abused. Also the Volkswagen emissions scandal.

I’m basing my judgement off of some Americans protesting for Hamas, thinking that protestors are sometimes really stupid.

And the next lie … Really, either stop posting or check your sources. That’s (far-right) bullshit.

Germany is not the USA. That some Americans are protesting for Hamas has nothing to do with Germany.

Edit:

BTW, in Bremen 40,000 protested today. In Cologne another 70,000 protested. In Munich the protest had to be stopped after after more than 100.0000 (conservative estimate) people came together before the protest even started. And that are only some cities where protests are happening today. There are (peaceful) protests every day all over Germany and protests continue.

And skimmed right past the parts where it says they are also climate change deniers, pro-Russia, anti-Muslim, nationalistic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-feminist and this part

In early March 2021, most of Germany’s major media outlets reported that the Bundesverfassungsschutz had placed the whole AfD under surveillance as a “suspected extremist group”.

?

Maybe you should scroll a bit slower next time.

What the hell are you talking about?

they can’t even meet their NATO obligations

2% of the gdp on defense, perhaps?

That was agreed on for this year, which has only just begun!

Let’s wait another year at least, when this year’s numbers are published, ok?

I have very little knowledge on Germany’s political scene

That’s more than obvious.

So your knowledge of Germany consists in large parts of some populist talking points and yet you jumped at the first opportunity to defend an extremely right-wing party and downplay their policies. That’s… a choice.
