Germany’s Bundesrat, the upper house of parliament, backed a bill to criminalize the denial of Israel’s right to exist on Friday, a motion that constitutional experts said could jeopardize freedom of expression.
According to the bill, anyone denying Israel’s right to exist or calling for its abolition would be punished with a prison sentence of up to five years under the regulation. The bill will be examined by the Bundestag, the lower house of parliament, after its summer recess.
It’s so interesting that Palestine as a whole is responsible for a terrorist attack, but the Israeli government spending decades stealing Palestinian land and currently enacting a genocide is blameless. I’m sure that has nothing to do with racism.
