Israelis pointing guns at Germans and asking if they're Jewish sounds straight out of an alternate history timeline.

Sounds straight out of Israel.

[–] stella@lemm.ee 46 points 2 years ago

Lol, just like the Nazis.

Even down to asking people if they're Jews.

They could have just asked them to say the word “Shibboleth”.

Any source friendly to ad blockers?

Those journalists were from German publicly funded media, the original article has zero ads or paywalls. Might be best to use that and have.it translated by the browser or the like:

If there's an adblock I can't get around because, for example, I'm using a DNS server that blocks ads on my phone then I just create a snapshot in the Wayback Machine. For whatever reason, websites don't block them or they're just really good at circumventing them.
