I believe he’s talking about Germany not allowing critique on war crimes and mass murder if perpetrated by Israel.
And that is not on a criminal level but instead on a political.
It is legally perfectly allowed to critique Israel. So the OP still would be wrong.
Actually are there are legal restrictions on critising Israel in Germany.
That's wrong. You can criticise Israel all day long, but you may maneuver yourself into problems if you mix up the Jews (as in anti-semitic rhetoric) with the the state of Israel.
Really? I can't remember that anybody got legally punished for criticizing Israel, but I might just not remember it. Can you provide sources for your claim?
My brother/sister/comrade in christ, read the article this comments section is centered around.
