I made a post about the Europeans who are being deported from Germany for being anti-genocide. https://lemmy.ml/post/28407953

A user repeated the now many times debunked lie that these victims facing deportation were “violent racist rioters”. Blatant German propaganda, made up to smear opposition to the genocide in Palestine. Which Germany supplies 30% of the weapons for.

After calling them, and a few other users out for repeating the same lie, the moderators banned me.

    My opinion of this issue is separate, so I’ll post a comment with my feelings on it, but I wanted to ask you- is there anywhere in English that talks about this property damage? I tried looking everywhere but the only reporting in English I’m seeing is leaving out this alleged property damage, and I tried machine translating the few articles I could identify (I’m no longer fluent in German, which is frankly tragic, and I don’t know how to get it back) all had the same angle as the article posted and no mention of damages.

      I don’t have time to translate right now but here’s an article from Deutsche Welle that goes into some detail on the (alleged) property damage. Essentially it’s tied in with the attempted occupation of the FU university in Berlin. Hope that helps!

      I have no idea. And, like I said, to me it’s not relevant.

      If the German government can conveniently overlook that Israel is killing people by the hundreds of thousands when they send weapons, then I can conveniently overlook any amount of property damage or “threatening employees” by people trying to stop that first thing. In fact I would say it is okay to downplay that second thing. I have no idea whether it even happened or not, but even if it did (and even if it had been proven, which I think no one is saying it was), it would be okay to me.

      I’m just saying you can make that argument without also needing to be an asshole to people in the comments.
