Constitutional experts warn the bill could jeopardize freedom of expression: anyone denying Israel's right to exist or calling for its abolition could be punished by up to five years in prison; Germany's lower house of parliament will examine the bill after the summer recess

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.

    Israel should exist as a pluralistic society.

    Pissrael is colonial apartheid white supremacist project. It needs to be completely dismantled and destroyed.

    Many many people should be tortured and executed, all the rest can be imprisoned and forced to reconstruct every building destroyed. The sentence ends when Palestine is fully rebuilt.

    Palestine should be the only state and we should mind our own business on how they should govern their land.
