It should be illegal everywhere. Germany knows how to deal with Nazis (well, unless they're part of a party)

Germany considers criticising Israel antisemitism.

Others were the ones who dealt with Nazis not Germany.

Let's not whitewash the forced compliance of Germany with what was imposed on them by the nations which had to fight them to stop them as some kind of achievement of Germany.

Germany kept most of the Nazis around - not the "upper management" but certainly the "middle management" and below - doing the jobs in the State appartus that they did before.

Probably explains both the rise of the AfD and how still now after Israel has been for over a year fully and unashamedly acting in a way painfully similar to Nazism - just with different ubermenschen and untermenschen (or as Israeli politicians say it, "chosen people" and "human animals") - almost the entirety of the German political class continues to unwaveringly support them, overtly because of the dominant ethnicity of that nation, a purely Racist rationale.

Change from the inside changes mindsets, change imposed from the outside mainly changes the visible expressions of the mindsets rather than the mindsets themselves.

The far- right has been on the rise all over Europe, not just Germany.

Over a year? Are you fucking kidding me? They've been acting that way for decades.

I don't think that what Israel did before was at the level of being "painfully similar to Nazism".

Before the last year and a half they were acting as an Apartheid state, but they weren't actually working hard at making a XXI century version of the Holocaust happen as they are right now.

Before it was bad, but now it has reached the level of Evil.

They've been systematically eradicating palestinians for a long time. It just wasn't legally recognized as a genocide by many. Fun things they've been doing before that is stuff like forceful relocations, murder, and denying water and medicine to civilians
