The German government has gone insane out of a misplaced sense of guilt for the holocaust. The government is incapable of nuance. There have beens bans on protests, and blocks on visas if they find out you’re pro palistine. Being anti-zionaism is illegal.
Ironic that you are complaining about a lack of nuance with the most generalized and misinformed post I’ve seen in a minute. Also, this whole situation is completely unrelated to the government.
Cologne University said in a statement its decision to cancel the invitation had been made “with great regret”. It said the reason was that in the letter signed by Fraser, “Israel’s right to exist as an ‘ethno-supremacist state’ since its foundation in 1948 is called into question. The terror attacks by Hamas on Israel of 7 October 2023 is [sic] elevated to an act of legitimate resistance.”
She got a little too based there.
