The Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Berlin announced Tuesday that the BDS movement has been classified as "unconstitutional."

The head of the office, Michael Fischer, explained that the movement’s status in Berlin’s antisemitic and anti-Israel landscape has significantly strengthened over the past year.

Fischer clarified that BDS’s ideology is based on “explicit denial of Israel’s right to exist.” According to him, BDS activity goes beyond boycotting cultural events or Israeli economic products. “The goal is to make the existence of Israel impossible in the international context. It is aimed at its destruction,” Fischer stated.

Weird timing at the peak of the genocide. Germany really wants to make sure that Israel can enact the final solution

They're just mad they didn't complete it on their turn, so they're doing their best to help an ally complete theirs.

7 October 2023, we're now in 2025, we're basically in the 1941, 1942 if you include the Ukraine-Russian war and start from 2022

Not buying things because you don't want to spend your money funding death is illegal

By that logic all sanctions are unconstitutional. Just because civilians are enacting them, doesnt make them any different than nationally imposed sanctions like the ones on other countries.

Well he is correct about that. But not sure how that is unconstitutional, unless the German consitution has some extremely problematic language in it, in which case it probably needs to be throw out.

And this is bad, why???

[-] Luffy879@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

Why have I never in my life heard anyone say that Israel dosent exist, yet everyone is talking about it like we are denying it?

[-] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

I'm not saying Israel doesn't exist, I'm just saying it shouldn't exist

Now, trust me on this one, I can't explain it, but the idea of countries is fascist

And in autism language if you want to read:

So fascism is just saying „We are better than other people”

Now there's culture, and there's eugenics and shit, but what thing is most integrated in our world? Countries. That, with capitalism, just leads to the thought of „look at this country, we are way better then them bc we have more money, and they are so stupid they can't even get their tuberculosis under control”. Now instead of just saying „look, people in this area are very often homeless”, we say „look, all these Africans are homeless”. Now think where I've last heard such stereotypes? Its with culture and religious discrimination. So the idea of countries itself is to take away the word human and say a non human word instead, like Germany or France. So now instead of Caesar or Napoleon or Hitler having to say „I want to kill these people because they don't believe I am better then them” they can now say „geographical overtaking of america for the benefit of glorious nation of Kazakhstan”

Yes, Borat reference.
