Germany is a disaster. The amount of state repression happening all around is insane. The police violence is insane. No people should end up in a hospital bed for going to a PEACEFUL protest and ending up getting pummeled by cops hitting them in the head or breaking their legs. Or peaceful activists getting stormed by police armed with automatic rifles in their homes because of their support for palestine.
German police are surely not angles and they need an independent control institution like in denmark. But to speak of “state repression” is a wild exaggeration.
Then why are artists getting canceled left and right by the government for signing letters in support of a ceasefire?
Why are university professors getting their job offers taken back because of the same thing?
Why are cultural institutions getting their funding pulled by the government and end up having their existence put at risk because they host peaceful activists like “jewish voice for peace”?
Why do peaceful protesters end up in hospital beds after getting attacked by the police?
Why does the police storm PEACEFUL activists homes?
Why are state owned banks closing down bank accounts of said activists? (Jewish voice for peace had their bank account frozen by Sparkasse Berlin)
Why are getting peaceful protesters arrested for signs like “jews against genocide”?
Where is the oversight? How is this not state repression? This whack is happening right under the state’s eyes and no one seems to do anything. It will surely be fun in a decade when the far right rules this country and they do the same thing without any oversight.
