Most countries have de facto freedom of speech, but not all have it enumerated. Even those that do put limits on it.
Germany has strong laws against use of Nazi symbols. There are exceptions for art, teaching etc. She may have fallen afoul of that. I wonder if netanyahu ever comes to Germany, if he'll be prosecuted too, given he used the same language.
Netanyahu is an avowed ally of Germany and Germany has rebuked all calls of genocide.
Yes, my point is about using the language, which he also used, as a reason for prosecution. The point of their anti Nazi laws is to protect from recurrence of antisemitism. Now, they find themselves allied with Israel committing genocide, using genocidal language and protecting people saying the same language. It's becoming Kafkaesque, with a hint of orwellian doublespeak.
To the best of my knowledge "From the river to the see" is not a Nazi symbol.... That law is not relevant here.
I thought by referencing symbols of unconstitutional organisations, they were referring to that. However, I'm basing off Google translate version.
