The police in Berlin said they had blocked over half of the 41 scheduled Gaza solidarity protests, sometimes on the grounds that they would “emotionalize” residents of Palestinian origin. These included a children’s demonstration to mourn the Palestinian children killed by Israeli strikes in the past month. Permitted protests were banned from using slogans such as “stop the war” and “free Palestine.”

They'll stop after the revolution.

I really think it has less to do with the Holocaust and more to do with the material interests of the German capitalist class. Especially now when cheap Russian energy is off the table, so cheapish Middle Eastern energy will have to do. The only way that cheapish energy is readily available is if the US' Middle Eastern aircraft carrier and forward operating base is open for business.

Repentance for the crimes of the past is just a really convenient way the same capitalist class can get the plebs on board with their imperial designs.
