The anti-Deutsch were never anti Deutsch. They just filtered and thus legitimised a brand of uber-Deutsch nationalism through philosemitism and anti-Arab racism.

Berlin police just canceled the entire Palestine Congress. I was the only speaker that successfully finished a speech.

Salman Abu Sitta was cut off after 1 minute. Our livestream ended and electricity cut off.

This is Germany.
