in reply to Goldholz • • •Police in full riot gear beating up unarmed women is a pretty strong indicator though. Also German police has Nazi scandals every year. This goes from whatsapp chats, where they share "nazi jokes" and pedophilia, over stealing weapons and ammunition for nazi terror groups, to protecting nazi terror cells committing attacks on politicans to being involved in planning violent coups and mass murder of political enemies
Oh and of course there is a bunch of racist murders by the police, with one infamous police station still in operation, where a black men was set on fire by cops and a Chinese women was raped and murdered by the step-son of the former leader of the station and son of a policewomen there, who both likely helped cover up the crime.
In Germany, if you have a police interaction with a person that is deemed to be "non German" or that is deemed to be "lefty", the interaction will likely be racist or otherwise abusive.
EDIT: Oh and there was a recent case, where the police deported a non-binary German person to Hungary in June 2024 despite a court injunction that forbid the deportation. However the constitutional court ruling the action of the police to be unlawful recently doesn't change the fact that she is indeed abused and the police who deported her there did not face any consequences yet.
Fascism is epidemic inside the German police and Racism and Sexism are systematically protected by the administrative and political leaders.

Yes police in east germany has big nazi problems. Doesnt mean all are nazis -.-
They are in riot gears for their own protection. Especially after the happenings of last few months where people started driving into crows
While yes often there is racial profiling with police stops there is no such thing as higher stops for "looking left wing" and that they then are abusive to you
You are putting in all people under one blanket. You know who also does that? Racists, nazis, homophobes aso.
Your argument is:
Japan has nazis: all japanese are nazis
There are nazis that play video games: all that play video games are nazis
There are nazi Programmers: all nazi programmers are nazis.
Little tip:
There are also nazi woman! Guess all woman are nazis hmm?
Maybe instead of generalising, focus on the individuals, on the nazis not on those that dont do these adhorent crimes

in reply to Goldholz • • •I don't think Saleh is saying anything about all police being this way.
But the fact that any of them are like this, and that there are enough of them like this, is a genuine problem for the well-being of regular people.
This isn't an all-or-nothing situation. We can recognize that there are a significant number of police using violence to accomplish political ends without having to make a disclaimer about not all individual police being this way, because there are clearly enough of them behaving this way that there is real cause for concern.
Wouldn't you agree?

It is a big problem. I fully agree. A police in saxony had the german empire eagle stiched in the car seats. It is a problem, a huge problem.
Though this isnt because the police is inherently nazis, like its being put here and constantly yelled with ACAB.
I can say myself, having worked with the police in my city, Augsburg, and having had many encounters with them, these people do not represent the police all over.
Clear distinction is key. If one puts innocent people in the same pot as normal people you aggrovate them and push them into this problem group, thus making this problem even bigger.
One should never dehumanise. Never create this "us vs them" mentality". Doing this, you dont fight the problem, you radicalise yourself and this is a path that quickly only brings distruction.

in reply to Goldholz • • •As i said it is epidemic and it is systematically protected. Does not mean "all of them". As an institution it is deeply riddled with these problems.
As for higher stops for "looking left wing" there was this thing in 2023 where police demanded the train conductors to report people with dreadlocks or "looking politically non-conformative" ("alternatives aussehen").
Police wearing Riot gear and escalating left wing demonstrations also has nothing to do with cars driving into crowds. it is not a recent event. Just put "police violence berlin" or "police violence germany" into your search engine and you will find many examples. you can see police officers in full riot gear throwing women to the ground last summer, despite them evidently not posing any threat to anyone. Here you can see two police officers torturing a detained climate activist in 2023 despite there being no threat from him or anyone around whatsoever. Note how you can hear the snap of his wrist. I could not find any article regarding the officers to have faced any consequences.
All of this would not be a problem if the "individuals" that act in such a way would face consequences. Instead they are protected by their colleagues and the institution at large, which makes them complicit.

in reply to Goldholz • • •Not answering on the 'all nazis' point that just seems to be a wide misunderstanding and was already answered by others.
On the 'left wing' profiling though, I do think that there definitely exists something of the kind, at least in France. I experienced it multiple times, when being controlled on the streets. Each time, only people arrested were 'alternative' people (like with a punk look, tracksuits, looking homeless, or just fucked up clothes and long hairs like me). Most of us where white. And all people around with nice clothes and huge baggages were not even looked at. Maybe you don't see this as 'left wing' but that is kinda the only concept i see that could encompass all those groups.
And of course it is not such a problem as racial profiling, in impact on people and society as well as in numbers, but I really do think it exists.

You could add Hamburg to the list of forces with a definite racism problem (remember the emetics stuff?), and others, such as Bavaria, well not so much racism but general police state attitude. They're also pretty letter of the law, while the eastern cases are by and large egregious law breaches. Hamburg's police doesn't really fit the city, TBH, I blame Schill.
Painting all 16 state forces with the same brush is guaranteed to get you some blowback based on regional patriotism alone.

And so far, it looks like they have. Right now, in the U.S., the Trumplicans (and Leon) are revoking the visas of international students who took part in protests to support Palestine. I'd guess for every couple we hear about there are a hundred more we don't.
It seems strange the countries all over the world are using similar violence against anyone protesting the Zionist genocide.

in reply to febra • • •Is there any reason for protesters to use a language other than German to make their opinion heard? It's even extended to include English to be inclusive of foreigners who do not have a constitutionally protected right to protest in Germany in the first place. (In case you don't believe me, Article 8 GG says "all Germans", not "everyone").
You know what the German left would do when he police tried to outlaw Italian at protests? a) challenge it in court because banning "alerta, alerta, antifascista" has no warrant, everyone knows what it means and it's not like anyone would know any more Itanian to chant (short of "latte machiato spaghetti stronzo basta") and b) not use it while that thing is in the courts. Choose your battles.
I cannot explain the ignorance of local mores that certain pro-Palestine groups are displaying in Germany as anything else but a false flag attack on the Palestinian cause. Because there's no way in hell people can be so willfully dense, be so unable to work within the local conditions. Conditions which offer plenty of freedom if you don't, at every opportunity, try to piss people off for no gain whatsoever. I'm trying to employ "never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity" but it's getting damn hard the more those certain groups steadfastly refuse to learn, and even refuse advise regarding their tactics.

Police repression has been escalating in Germany and particularly in Berlin over the past years and both German and international media are not addressing the issue with the attention it deserves. Germany is taking more and more steps to become an authoritarian democracy. If the trend isn't stopped, it will look like Hungary or Turkiye in some years.

Unknown parent • • •Israel is a fascist apartheid state committing genocide. Police violently cracking down on anti-israel / anti-zionist speech is also fascist. You are conflating anti-zionism with anti-semitism, which is genuine anti-semitism. Anti-zionism calls for the end to genocide and for Palestinians emancipation.
Zionism is about Settler Colonialism and Ethnic Cleansing of native Palestinians, it is not reflective of Judaism nor is it representative of Jewish people. Anti-zionism is not anti-semitism. The conflation of the two is genuinely antisemitic, as it falsely attributes the actions of Israel to all Jewish people.
Zionism is anti-Semitic at it's core, it other-izes Jewish people, and justifies the violent settler colonialim of Israel as in the defense of all Jewish people, which only serves to further fuel genuine Antisemitism at the expense of Jewish people globally. Zionism is also an inherently fascist ideology. The ethnic cleansing of the native people of Palestine has always been fundamental since it's inception as a colonialist movement.
Adi Callai, an Israeli, does a great analysis of how Antisemitism has been weaponized by Zionism during its history.

::: spoiler Under Occupation
Hamas began twenty years into the occupation during the first Intifada, with the goal of ending the occupation. Collective punishment has been a deliberate Israeli tactic for decades with the Dahiya doctrine. Violence such as suicide bombings and rockets escalated in response to Israeli enforcement of the occupation and apartheid.
Hamas 1988 Charter and Revised 2017 Charter
The 1988 Charter, which is certainly unreasonable in its fundamentalism with Sharia Law and is antisemitic, does not call for the extermination of all Jewish People. Hamas wants an end to Israel as an Apartheid State, not an extermination of all Israelis. Under Ahmed Yassin in the 1990's, truces were offered in exchange for Israeli to withdrawal from Gaza and the West Bank to the 1967 borders. The 2017 Revised charter explicitly accepts a Two-State Solution of the 1967 Borders. Check Article 7 and 13 of the 1988 Charter to see yourself, compare it to Article 20 and 24-26 in the revised charter.
The slogan From the River to the Sea is about Palestinian liberation that started in the 60s by the PLO for a democratic secular state, not Genocide. The Syrian leader Hafez al-Assad in 1966 maybe, but he's not Palestinian.

::: spoiler Settlements and Occupation
Israel justifies the settlements and military bases in the West Bank in the name of Security. However, the reality of the settlements on-the-ground has been the cause of violent resistance and a significant obstacle to peace, as it has been for decades.
This type of settlement, where the native population gets 'Transferred' to make room for the settlers, is a long standing practice.
The mass ethnic cleansing campaign of 1948:
- Plan Dalet
- Declassified Massacres of 1948
- Details of Plan C (May 1946) and Plan D (March 1948) .
Further, declassified Israeli documents show that the Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip were deliberately planned before being executed in 1967:
While the peace process was exploited to continue de-facto annexation of the West Bank via Settlements
The settlements are maintained through a violent apartheid that routinely employs violence towards Palestinians and denies human rights like water access, civil rights, etc. This kind of control gives rise to violent resistance to the Apartheid occupation, jeopardizing the safety of Israeli civilians.

Keeponstalin
in reply to jimmy90 • • •I don't justify it. I understand that it comes from having no options available in the face of extermination. You have no conception of anti-colonial violence. I understand that to end anti-colonial violence requires an end to the colonial violence.
I could much more easily call Israel a terrorist state, and by looking at cases of actual acts of terror, it's clear that Israel does magnitudes more. But while acknowledging acts of terrorism is important, giving the label of terrorist to an entire group is not really useful. It's mostly use to de-legitimize acts of resistance against colonialism and occupations. Such is the case with Ireland, Vietnam, Algeria, South Africa, and many more.
Both the Occupier and the Occupied can and do use acts of terrorism to further their aims, but the aims are diametrically opposed. The aim of the occupier is to continue the occupation, that requires violence to maintain, and ethnic cleansing. The aim of the occupied is to end the occupation, by any means possible, and gain emancipation. We see that one is a reaction to the other, Israel's perpetual violence towards native peoples is the underlying cause of these conflicts. Solutions to ending the violence of anti-colonialism can only come from ending the underlying violence of the colonialism.
We see that permanent occupation develops into an Apartheid, as the settlers / occupiers have rights upheld by the State and Military, while the natives / occupied have no rights and subjected to violence from both the Settlers and Military. The State, who holds the monopoly on power, uses terrorism to suppress resistance to the occupation in order to maintain it. The occupied, having no power, uses terrorism as a means to resist the occupation.
Israel has no interest in peace, it has interest in land grabbing, which is in complete opposition to peace. This is fundamental to Zionism. Which is why an end to Zionism and a regime change, where a Secular Bi-National One-State that gives equal rights to Palestinians and Israelis is the only way for the conflict to really end. Not only with Palestinian resistance, but with all resistance groups that were created by Israeli occupation.
The existence of Hamas, and any armed resistance movement, is directly due to the decades of violence experienced daily under the permanent occupation, the Apartheid State, of Israel. It's impossible to understand their existence if you don't understand the lived experience and material conditions they are forced to live under. There is no such thing as a perfect victim when it comes to anti-Colonialist resistance, not for the Vietcong, the IRA, or the ANC either. Can you condemn the violence of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in the same way as the violence of the Warsaw Ghetto?
In the Shadow of the Holocaust by Masha Gessen, the situation in Gaza is compared to the Warsaw Ghettos. The comparison was also made by a Palestinian poet who was later killed by an Israeli airstrike. Adi Callai has also written on the parallels in his article The Gaza Ghetto Uprising and expanded upon in his corresponding video
Adi Callai has also done a great analysis of how Antisemitism has been weaponized by Zionism during its history, as well as an analysis of Franz Fanon and Identity Politics in the context of Colonialism and Anti-colonialism.

You can't be fucking serious. Zionism was explicitly started as a settler Colonialist project. It began with settlements that displaced Palestinians, it has never stopped settling and displacing Palestinians, neither within Israel prior to 1967 or the West Bank after 1967.

i think the jews are native to the land of palestine whereas you think they are zionist colonial genocidal invaders
by the way when egypt jordan et al invaded were they being arabic colonial empirical invaders or just good buddies to their arab chums?

in reply to Keeponstalin • • •I wasn't so much talking to you as talking through you
I mean you've already admitted it's a civil war and not colonial
By the way did you copy and paste the info dumps from previous discussions or are they prepared for you
