    Can someone provide context for a lazy soul (and anyone else who sees this later)?

    I can understand “fuck Israel”, but what’s happened in Germany recently that prompted this?

      They have been aggressively going after pro Palestine protestors and strongly support the genocide.

      To add to other answers you’ve received, Germany’s suppression of pro-Palestine protest has included Jewish anti-zionist activists. It is convenient for Israel if they can perpetuate the idea that the Jewish people are synonymous with Israel, and that anti-zionism = antisemitism. Jewish anti-zionists severely disrupt this idea, and the fact that Germany has taken action against people like this is quite revealing about priorities.

      An illustrative example of what I mean is Udi Raz, a Jewish activist who was arrested in Germany . Suppression of voices speaking in solidarity with Palestine has been happening in many countries, but Germany seems to be going extra heavy on this, likely because of a misplaced sense of duty following the Holocaust.
