      Right so you would have upheld and supported the 1982 Internal Security Acts in apartheid South Africa that outlawed chants like Mayibuye iAfrika because you “respect the law”

      Thanks for telling on yourself.

          You mean the ban defined by the International* (Norwegian) Holocaust Remembrance Alliance? The IHRA that defended Norway’s commemoration of the nazi Knut Hamsun? The same IHRA that defines antisemitism as “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.”?

          Though I’m guessing you mean specifically “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.”

          Which I thought I made pretty clear with the parallel between apartheid South Africa and apartheid Israel - just as I believe the colonial state of the US has no right to exist - so I believe that the colonial state of Israel has no right to exist either.

          So when I hear people chant “From the river to the sea” - I (and solidarity scholars) don’t see that as a call to violence against Jewish people - but as a reclamation of a slogan originally conjured up by Zionists for the equal rights of everyone in the Levant independent of their religion.

            No, I don’t mean any absurd definition by a zionist lobbying organisation with the primary goal of shielding Israel’s right-wing zealots from any criticism, but simple common sense.

            You don’t see that “From the river to the sea” used by people that -exactly like Israel’s insane government- vehemently deny a two state solution makes a very clear statement about the continued existence of Israel, or more precisely the non-existence? You don’t see how morons in Germany cheering for the attacks of October 7 2023 and offereing food and candy to passersby in celebration on the streets were very well understood to have used that slogan in exactly one way? That’s interesting… if only in a sense that I now know that reality is lost on you.

    Can’t wait for the day Uk, Germany, France, the dictator USA and most importantly, news outlets are being held accountable for genocide.

    Ouff, the downvotes ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°).

    One day, it’s gonna be you, or your brother, or neighbor, or child, or mom, or friend, or colleague, or cashier.

    Keep on bowing down, it will end up well, just like last time, am i right?

    I wouldn’t be surprised if an organization like Canary Mission has been lobbying the German government to push these kinds of attacks.
