    In general, it does not matter if the slogan originated from Hamas or not, just that they made it their own. The swastika after all also didn’t originated from the Nazis

    You’re allowed to explain what you mean but you’re extremely close to being banned

          They are talking about appropriation of symbols. That’s the example they used, but it’s in no way an ethical comparison

            And you are too credulous. They pulled the more sophisticated, legalese-translated version of DavidDoesLemmy’s comment (see bottom of the thread). Just because they’re smart enough to not get banned doesn’t mean they’re acting in good faith.

      I am? There is a sentence following. I am paraphrasing the argument of the courts. I never expressed my own opinion here.

      Their reasoning is: If a terror organization makes some symbol their own it has to be banned for everyone, everywhere.

      I never said that I am fine with any of that.

        Alright that’s cool as long as your example pertains to the government and nothing in it was your own opinion.

        Factually Hamas did not make the slogan their own and it’s used by all Palestinians which is why the German government ruling makes no sense.

          I am with you on that. I think my point is: don’t blame the courts, don’t blame the law.

          Blame the German government for this stupid “recommendation” and their pro Israel stance because they don’t understand the difference between Jews and Zionist.

          But THAT is only my opinion
