Do you think maybe some laws can be bad and others good and that encouraging enforcement of a good law doesn't mean encouraging enforcement of the bad ones?

    my point is: Why when it comes to the public, laws are enforced to the letter, but for corporations, the question of "should the law apply" is a public debate instead of a "Duh. of course"?

    Yeah. I understand what you mean. That is simply not true. Ok, teachable moment.

    In Germany, that slogan is considered a Hamas slogan. Hamas has been classified as an extremist organization. That means that using its slogans and symbols is illegal under the same laws that make Nazi slogans and symbols illegal. That's the hate speech and illegal content that online platforms are supposed to remove.

    Failing to crack down on hate speech is one of the biggest complaints against X. If you demand that authorities to enforce EU platform laws harder, then what happens is that this slogan is suppressed harder. You understand?

    That slogan is not antisemitic, Germany just wants to crack down on protest on a genocide they are collaborating with, that's the real crime.

    Laws need to apply to everyone, otherwise they aren't laws. I'm just complaining how the state uses their laws, rugged police state for the poor, clemency for the rich.

    again, as a Jewish person who used to live in Israel:

    from the river to the sea.

    I can tell, you don't understand what's going on and that's scary. Unfortunately, it would still be scary if you did. But at least you would be able to have a positive effect on the world for the better.

    i understand that European states who finance that genocide also took steps to prosecute protests, like what you're talking about, and how the UK illegally prosecuted people for supporting Palestine action.

    if you can't see it, that's on you. it's been obvious since day 1.

    And in no way shape or from "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is antisemitic. if anything Implying genocide is a Jewish value is the most dangerous antisemitism being pushed by zionism, which is a settler colonial political movement.
