This morning I cross-posted a poster carried by a pro-Palestinian protester in Berlin that showed an image reminiscent of what was shown during the Nazi years in Der Stuemer.
Apparently, that's not all. Chants of, "Gas the Jews" have also been reported.

The German authorities must do more than simply ask these people to stop using these chants. Free speech in Germany and Europe is not as expansive as in the US, and such expressions can be prosecuted. They have no place anywhere, but least of all in Germany.
It has only been 70 years and the Germans want to reopen the camps. I see nothing has changed there.
ReplyDeleteIt is particularly difficult for Germany to allow free speech for Nazi ideology, and they don't. (We can get away with it, because we were never close to being ruled by our home-grown nut cases.)
ReplyDeleteSince it is illegal in Germany, those who were chanting should be prosecuted, just like any other German would be.
