  2. It’s a pro Hamas solidarity conference not pro palestinian civilian one lol

  3. Man Germany as a whole ass country is doing a heck of a better job at this than Yale, a private university🤨

  4. Seems like they shut it down because the featured speaker Salman Abu Sitta was going to be making anti-Semitic remarks. German authorities came to this decision after Sitta wrote an essay “that expressed understanding” for Hamas terrorists. Sitta also happens to have a ban on political activities in Germany. (FTA) “ A speaker was projected who was subject to a ban on political activity,” Berlin police said on social media. “There is a risk that a speaker will repeatedly be shown via video who in the past made antisemitic remarks and glorified violence. For this reason, the gathering was ended and banned on Saturday and Sunday as well.”

    Sitta is also banned from entering Germany. 

    It seems the police cut the power after two hours of the conference going on, when this guy was about to speak. 

    Strangely enough the phrase “you can criticize Israeli actions without being antisemitic” (which was and still is far as I know is a left wing slogan against slurs that criticizing Israel at all is in itself antisemitic) seems to have been lost on the wider pro-Palestine movements as of late. 

    What I find perplexing is the absolute silence I’ve seen from media and activists on Hamas’s various war crimes and how the contribute to the civilian death toll in Gaza. NGOs generally won’t be safe if Hamas is using vehicles similar to, and marked as. Like when they were using Red Cross ambulances to ferry hostages from one place to another. Civilians won’t be safe because Hamas doesn’t wear a uniform or mark themselves as Hamas. Civilians won’t be safe while Hamas uses them as human shields. Civilians won’t be safe while Hamas uses civilian infrastructure to obscure their HQs, tunnels and traffic. I don’t see anyone pointing out that Hamas is a terrorist organization and this isn’t some resistance movement. Legit resistance movements hit military targets, and police. They don’t rape, kidnap, kill, mutilate, and parade their dead bodies through the streets to uproarious applause and adulation from a music festival or civilians at all. 

    And finally I don’t see any activists pointing out that Hamas isn’t a free Palestine movement. They want to destroy Israel and kill every Jew on the planet, like pretty much every other Arab/muslim countries did. With the exception of Iran. They oddly have larger Jewish population. Could be cultural as their a cross roads in the Silk Road, or it could be some Sunni and Shiite shit going on too. I don’t know exactly why, only that they do. 

  5. It’s good to see that there are still a few sane places left in Europe in which they’re doing a good job stopping extremists and who are not apologizing for actively stopping hatred and antisemitism.

  7. Solidarity with Palestine and Palestinians=good.

    Solidarity with Hamas and revanchist political violence = bad.

    We have our daily reminder that you can want a multi state solution that takes into account the needs and wants of both Israel and Palestinians.

    Everyone needs to stop thinking in black and white terms.

  9. Wait wait wait… you’re saying germany might have reason to be wary of large groups disguising their anti Jewish rallies under the guise of something else? No way.

  10. The Germans learned their lesson. They are experts at recognizing Jew-haters and fascists, and act accordingly.
