"The IMK also suggests “creating a new legal basis” to be able to criminalize activities against Israel or “to criminally prosecute [pro-Palestine groups’] right to exist,” including legal regulations against pro-Palestine clubs and activities under the guise of “banning antisemitic gatherings.”

Germany is already committed to blocking pro-Palestinian gatherings. Earlier this year, Berlin police arrested and detained 170 people during Nakba Day demonstrations, some of whom had done nothing more than hold a Palestinian flag or wear a keffiyeh. Berlin police also banned a vigil for the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh that had been planned by Jewish organizers – all in the name of fighting antisemitism." 972mag.com/germany-interior-mi

Die ist stand jetzt unfähig, an einer politischen Kultur teilzunehmen, die Bürger*innen, Zivilgesellschaft und Wirtschaft jenseits von klassischem, intransparenten Lobbyismus in die Gesetzesschaffung einzubinden.

In case it's not being reported in anglophone media, local politicians affiliated with the AfD (far right) and CDU (center right) parties in were among those arrested for the recent coup attempt. This clearly demonstrates how the German (far) right's electoral and militant wings are inseparable. Another thing that sticks out from the article is that in the town where these people were active, everyone just laughed at their ideas and nobody took them seriously until it was too late. Many of the "activists" were radicalized by participating in anti Covid regulation protests and armed training groups. One unexpectedly funny anecdote was that the AfD ex politician stopped going to party meetings because there was a mask and vaccine mandate
