Good, arrest them all. It’s absolutely horrendous that people use the tragedy of the Palestinian people to be antisemitic.
You’ll be arrested next, when it turns out the people arrested were jewish so your comment counts as anti-semitism.
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
This made me think because raiding peoples homes doesn’t seem right, but saying things like this definitely isn’t right.
In the end I think a inclusive society should exclude it’s exclusive elements.
I feel we just can’t agree on this argument online, and it’s likely because the line for tolerance differs on so many factors, history being a huge one.
I’m aware German laws exist to ban fascist symbols, likely as an ounce of prevention along the lines, “we won’t repeat another Hitler”.
It might take the US falling into a fascist state and being liberated to make us adopt such “drastic” measures as raids. Until then 1A has been routinely held up to protect hate speech so for now it’s up to us as a society to make a conscious decision what we’ll tolerate. We just have to be as vocal about it as the racists/fascists.
By already solved i assume you mean every philosopher throughput history has a different opinion?
So its ok when we silence a group of people for their beliefs but not when they do it?
Imagine your dumb fuck of a child sending antisemitic hate shit through his phone and a few days later the police raids your home and takes all your devices. Absolute nightmare.
Yeah sure mate, i bet everyone you know moved out of their parents home by 18?
One suspect allegedly sent a sticker in a WhatsApp school class chat with the words “Gas the Jews.” Another person, a German-Turkish dual citizen, allegedly posted on his account that “the Jewish sons” deserved nothing more than to be “exterminated,” dpa reported.
Uh… What are you defending here? This sounds like literal neo-Nazis wanting to commit genocide.
They literally quoted and then clearly stated what they were objecting to. You posting things that aren’t remotely “left-wing demonization of Israel” and then asking them to defend things they didn’t remotely defend is a bullshit strawman.
Well, first of all, I wasn’t accusing them of anything. However, the implication of saying ‘Get Fucked Germany’ is that Germany is going after invalid targets. The examples given in the article are inarguably some straight-up Nazi shit though. I was just pointing that out to the person who, judging by the rest of their post, seems opposed to Nazis.
But if you want to get into it, if you think that Nazis aren’t laundering antisemitism through criticism and demonization of Israel, you’re wrong. Nazis have always done that. If the people described in the article are from a leftist movement, you should be offended by that, not defending them because they’re leftist.
There’s some pretty questionable comment removals here. What exactly triggered Rule 4 in that comment by /u/Marsupial@quokk.au, anonymous mod?
I don’t know how to link a specific item in the modlog, and I assume reposting removed content is inherently rulebreaking. Someone was objecting to the quote lumping in leftists criticizing Israel with far right antisemites and Islamist fanatics. The only remotely, squint really hard, maybe it could be construed as in the vaguest vicinity of Rule 4 was saying “fuck Germany” in response, which just isn’t racism or prejudice. So other than that, it sure appears to be a mod removing a post because they don’t like the argument being made.
