This is deplorable, unacceptable in a so-called ‘democracy. The Irish government should object very strongly that is, if they have the guts and there is a semblance of fairness that remains within their conscience

"These deportations don't exist in a vacuum of course." The wholesale takeover of Western governments by Israel has been a stunning thing to watch. Germany is no different from the U.S., the UK and the rest of them.

The West created this monstrosity in the Middle East to cripple any nation’s progress and to serve as a dagger in the heart of the Arab and Islamic world. But now, this beast has grown so large that it is hastening the downfall of the imperialism evil corrupt West itself.

The entire western world is ZOG controlled. Not even when the boot stomp is on someone’s face will they figure it out. They will continue to blame the other political party and continue to vote harder like fools.

Unbearable to watch the embedded videos, so forgive me if I admit to avoiding them. I have been on the frontlines of protests since 1969 and I have seen brutality gradually increase. I have seen tricks pulled to cause fights. During the anti-fracking campaigns (2013-2019) I saw police push protesters into other policemen, so that we could be arrested for assault and beaten up in the process. I have seen people stamped upon deliberately by police dressed like storm-troopers and I have scrambled to put out a fire caused by police throwing a lit wood-burning stove into my information tent which was full of paperwork and inflammatory spare bedding. I have witnessed protesters being hauled off to mental health institutions where they were chemically coshed until their brains were mince.

This is the British police I am talking about btw.

Rules based order - being of more junior years, you may not remember when this was introduced. This was a get around clause to avoid using the actually legally defined “international law” including the Geneva Convention and Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Oh, and when? Right after 9-11 when it was decided they were going to stomp all over those laws with illegal invasions.

As a phrase, it means sweet fuck all and never did.

And, be careful - Ireland now has some of the most draconian, fluffily worded “hate” speech laws of any supposedly modern democracy. They’ve not been deployed in much of a political way yet, to my knowledge, but it is lying there waiting in the wings.

All that said, yeah, Germany has taken a massive nosedive, but it started during the Pandemic. This is just a continuation of that, and it is brutal and some shameful shit.

You forget to mention that these four persons are suspected to have taken part in the violent occupation of the Free University Berlin in October 2024. About 40 masked people took part in the occupation, armed with axes, threatening some employees of the university and destroying items in value of 100.00 Euro. In Germany, this is called "breach of the peace" and is normaly punished with prison from six month to ten years. If they were Germans, prison would be safe for them.

This is why they might be forced to leave the country. All four persons have filed protest.

All four persons chanted "From the river to the sea, Palestine should be free" which is - in Germany - a denying of the right of Israel to exist.

It is your right to criticize Germany and it is very important to cast a critical eye on the western gouvernments, including the german government, as well. But you should put all the facts on the table, not only those facts that supports your opinion. These four persons have not taken part in a peaceful protest.

I am not very happy with the fact that Germany is not criticizing Israel for its killings in Gaza in the way they should and in any case i want Netanyahu to be imprisoned when crossing the german border for war crimes in Gaza and in the Westbanks.

But i also don´t want demonstrators to devastate free Universities and to threaten employees which have nothing to to with Gaza and politics at all...

Germany still making the same mistakes. They will never shake the nazi tag as long as they continue to bootlick for Zionists. You can't cancel Nazism with Zionism. It's the same thing. You can't atone when you're complicit in another genocide.

Aren't you tired of having blood soaked hands?!

This slide into authoritarianism was clearly visible during the 'covid years'. This latest manifestation is a continuation of the abandonment and crushing of human rights, free speech and political protest across the Germany and the West as a whole.

Wonder if Ireland & Spain would deport German citizens for publishing pro-Israel views?

It could start with simply arresting any Israeli for suspected war crimes & then launching investigations to ascertain if these individuals should in fact be prosecuted.
