    The “from the river to the sea…” phrase is forbidden as it supposedly denies the right of the existence of the Jewish state Israel which, in Germany, is considered as a special form of antisemitism.

      It was a rhethorical question and AFAIK not technically correct (it’s supposedly the slogan of Hamas, which is classified as a terrorist organization - that’s a simple way of constricting German freedom of speech).

      But yeah: my point was whether the OP said about israelis wouldn’t be considered antisemitic in Germany.

        According to the German Wikipedia article on that phrase, it was forbidden as it is a Hamas slogan, but only in the context of endorsement of terrorism, not in general. So there have been cases, where the use was not prohibited on a rally, as it’s organisers made explicitly clear that they don’t endorse Hamas nor terrorism.

          Its allegedly is a Hamas slogan.

          And it still discriminates against all legitimate uses. Because you can never be sure if the police still decides to break up the protest after such a chant. And when the police breaks up the protest (with the possibility of violence) after the parole has been used and then it turns out that a judge later decides that it wasn’t illegal, it’s probably less of a consolidation after the fact.

                I know and I find that one much worse than the Palestine version.

                AfaIk, Israeli ultra nationalists, unfortunately, are not considered terror organizations in Germany.
