Germany’s Bundesrat, the upper house of parliament, backed a bill to criminalize the denial of Israel’s right to exist on Friday, a motion that constitutional experts said could jeopardize freedom of expression.

According to the bill, anyone denying Israel’s right to exist or calling for its abolition would be punished with a prison sentence of up to five years under the regulation. The bill will be examined by the Bundestag, the lower house of parliament, after its summer recess.

    Before WWII, there were under 100k of them in Palestine, they were a small minority. That number is now millions in the same territory. Why do you think they shouldn’t have their own government and their own country?

    Also Jewish doesn’t only mean someone of a particular religion, it’s also an ethnicity. Do you think nazis cared if you were practicing? Just having the big nose would’ve been enough.

    I’m not saying Palestine shouldn’t exist, but I do think that the people who consider themselves Jews should have their own country too. Why shouldn’t it be in the land they were kicked out of originally? There’s plenty of space there.

    The thing I do have a problem with is what’s going on in west bank and Gaza (and Lebanon). They have their Lebensraum, they don’t need more of it.

      So what?

      Why do you think they shouldn’t have their own government and their own country?

      This is non-sense, if a different ethnicity is above a certain number in a country we should split it? Is this your point? Are you normal?

      Jewish doesn’t only mean someone of a particular religion, it’s also an ethnicity

      No it’s not, it’s a religion. Not a race, not an ethnicity. Stop repeating propaganda from fascists. Benjamin Milekowski (Netanyahu) is a Polish cunt fuck inbred who has nothing to do with the Middle East or Palestine.

      I do think that the people who consider themselves Jews should have their own country too

      Why the fuck should they? If I consider myself Zoroastrian I should also have my country? Again jews were living peacefully with “arabs” just 150 years ago.

      You can not claim a territory because your people used to live there 2000 years ago. It does not work like that. If it was, the romans should colonize half of Europe and you should be okay with it.

      You are helping and justifying the killing of thousands of civilians today because of events happened thousands of years ago. Can you imagine if everyone would do that?

      You are repeating manufactured propaganda you don’t understand, for god knows what reason, helping a white suprematist theocratic colonial project killing thousands of civilians. Congrats.

      Either don’t partecipate in the discussion or study better, ignorant israeli cuck.

        I’m not Israeli, but I guess you lack the reading comprehension. I also said I’m obviously against what they’re doing to Palestinians, but you again chose to ignore that.

        Jews were being killed en masse in Europe, they needed a place to go. Do you want them all in your country instead?

          And yet you are defending a genocidal colonial project that has nothing to do with you.

          You are spreading lies and misinformation on the corpses of children for a genocidal colonial project without knowing absolute nothing about it.

          Jews don’t need a place to go, like the communists, gays, romani, black people persecuted during the same period don’t need one. And, if they need one, Germany should be the very first place to give it them.

          For the last fucking time this has nothing to do with the victims of Nazi germany. You are conflating Judaism with Zionism. Go back to school.
