One would have thought that this was already included in anti-dscrimination law. Apparently not.

Germany uses anti-hate crime laws to silence free speech of Jews and Palestinians

‘We Jews are just arrested; Palestinians are beaten’: Protesters in Germany

"German-Israeli activist Iris Hefets was arrested for the first time in Berlin just a few weeks after the start of Israel’s war on Gaza last October – for holding a sign which read, “As a Jew and Israeli, stop the genocide in Gaza”. [...]

She was arrested a second time on November 10 for “inciting racial hatred” when she held the same sign – her charge was recently dropped. Her third arrest was for a sign warning that “Zionism kills”. Again, she was released soon after but, this time, her sign was confiscated."

‘We Jews are just arrested; Palestinians are beaten’: Protesters in Germany
