Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Please let this be a secret ploy to arrest this genocidal murderer

This is my hope as well.

It’s not. Germany is Israel’s 2nd biggest supporter after the US in terms of sending weapons and criminalising antizionism

Incredible. Putin in Hungary not OK. Netanyahu in Germany OK. If we didn't have enough blatant examples that the rules based order is rules-for-thee-not-for-me, we got yet another one.

Not a good start for the new German gov.

On the other hand I see their point, Germany arresting Israelis would be a low hanging fruit for the Israeli propaganda machine.

"We can't prosecute genocide because the genociders will talk trash."

Too many people put too much weight if martyrdom. Personally, I think their propaganda machine is already powerful enough that it can't truely get get much of a boost. Arresting Ben for his crimes would be far more good than the negatives that come from people being upset about it. Pick the low hanging fruit while the picking is good I say.
