The university then did call off the talk, vaguely citing “security concerns.”
There is no way a school would just give in to such obviously illegal pressure. If true this would be a huge scandal in Germany.
Yet many people here seem to swallow the story with zero critical thinking. 🙄
They passed a new law that suspends freedom of speech when it’s against Israel
You might have missed in your study of law and the news that what passed is not a law, but merely a resolution. It’s the equivalent of a press release.
extra-judicial extradictions without an accusation against pro-Palestine protesters, which a judge eventually blocked.
So it wasn’t extra-judicial.
I’d be much more inclined to listen to you if you didn’t make such glaring mistakes.
Israel lost the PR war. Everyone needs to just accept this and just move the fuck on rather than continuing to dig in their heels. Defending genocide and trying to suppress opposition is a really bad look.
Many of my direct friends lost their job for doing it. Look up “exposing Zalando”.
Here in Berlin it’s a regular occurrence that any exhibition, cultural or political event criticizing Israel receives at the very list a threatening call and a visit from the police. Sometimes it escalates into vandalism or violence, sometimes with getting raided by the police, sometimes with defunding if it’s a public thing.
If they silenced Albanese and banned Varoufakis, they can silence anybody.
BRUSSELS — A rare rebuke of Israel by Germany this week underscored Europe’s growing willingness to pressure the Netanyahu government over its siege and bombardment of the Gaza Strip, which is testing the tolerance of some of Israel’s staunchest allies.
It impliws these people who did not cause the damages caused them. Media ambiguously implies that Zionists were right as usual by inserting irrelevant quotes.
I’m pretty sure this article is one big lie,

I admit that is very bad, but I doubt you can’t criticize Israels war crimes and oppression and illegal settlements in Gaza.
