Those cops punch like I do in my dreams. Throwin hay makers and not landing a single shot. Pathetic
ACAB forever.
Yea, gonna need a source on this one. Not buying it otherwise
I really appreciate the link to a story on this because I hate out of context video. But I really wish they had used a different outlet like Mastodon or Bluesky, I hate giving any traffic to Xwitter.
Are you being malicious or just stupid?
for real, who watches this video and thinks “nah, riot police would never do that - I demand a source” 🤦♀️
EDIT: reading TingoTenga’s comment history, I wonder if they were intending to be sarcastic or humorous? Or maybe they are just responding to the title of the post and not the video?
With how pervasive AI generated video is now, you can’t imagine doubting the veracity of this vid?
It would be different if people started floating away or growing extra arms, it’s not hard to find real footage of cops being assholes
Auf Bullenschweine wirft man Steine
Were they actually breaking any law or did the government just decide it wanted to give them a beating?
Maybe a hot take but if you are breaking the law, you should still not receive a beating.
I don’t know the context of the video.
But yes, covering your face on a demonstration is illegal and can lead to up to 1 year in jail.
Up to 1 year in jail and 20 punches to the face apparently…
The German state is incredibly repressive against solidarity for Palestine.
Very fake as most of the pro-palestinian propaganda here and in other websites.
Being in favor of having a Palestinian state implies that:
- no Hamas or any terrorist organization can be in power
- stop teaching children to hate Jews (very common in Muslim countries by the way)
- stop repressing liberal movement (“we want to live” movement for example, weird that nobody talked about it uh?)
Israel needs to stop the hostilities but it is absurd that “pro-palestinian” are more and more blind and justify easily the atrocities that the radical Muslims do to their own people. Why do people not have critical thinking?
This is not a war to obtain the legal status of the State and being recognized by Israel, the place was owned and managed by Egypt, the same that has tunnels connected to Palestine, the same that did not accept any refugees, the same countries around Palestine that did not accept them, even Lebanon where Hezbollah is. This is a war that a terrorist group decided to do because of foreign investments from Muslims that are ideologically against any Jew to be alive, this is why they repressed all the protestors in Palestine ALL THE TIME.
Do you want to criticize Israel for their behavior? Be my guest, I agree and I am totally against any cruelty or anything that resembles oppression but if you think Hamas or any of them do it for freedom you have absolutely no idea what you are saying and you are naive.
Mohammad Tawhidi, Mosab Hassan Yousef and hundred of people said exactly this but westerns think they know Islam better than an Imam in Dubai or Saudi Arabia that says exactly how dangerous they are.
Lol you’re a fucking joke, try harder hasbara
No one has mentioned solidarity for Hamas. You’re the one who brought it up.
The above guy must be on some payroll. He appears in all of the posts defending genocide by Israel.
Is it? We had many peaceful demonstrations.
When it got problematic was when people on demonstrations shoutet that they wanted a kalifat (don’t know how to write the word) and “from the river …”, because Hamas and other people interpret it differently.
No those are government and media lies to justify the violence. Germany supplies 30% of the weapons for the genocide in Palestine. They are next to the US the most repressive country.
German police have beaten up protesters holding Palestinian flags without any cause. Many examples have been posted in this community. Example from 4 months ago https://lemmy.world/post/21657306 (Direct link to the video: https://imgur.com/SWM4K8H)
I can show you dozens of videos of climate protesters being beaten up by the police and/or other people. Just cut out a few seconds and it fits your narrative… What does this tell us? That the police doen’t belive in climate change? No. It tells you that there is a police problem like in pretty much any other country.
BTW: Is there an oppression ranking for Palestinians or are there accusations that Germany is rank 2 just a guess?
You are not missing context and there is no excuse to be made for that pig kicking a woman who has already been violently apprehended.
Holy cow. Have I written that it’s OK to hurt someone? No.
I just think, it’s wrong to act like Germany is some kind of dictatorship that systematically discriminates Palestinians. Furthermore, it’s absolutely possible to have a normal protest for people from Gaza or against Netanyahu in our country. But if you and others really want to use that video as proof that there is systematic discrimination, I just don’t think, that that’s true at all.
I just think, it’s wrong to act like Germany is some kind of dictatorship that systematically discriminates Palestinians.
Are we in the same post right now? Click the video above again.
After that watch the German foreign minister say Israel is allowed to kill Palestinian civilians
Tells me your brainwashed. You know the internet is free right, there’s a boy younger than 10 being chased by 2 or 3 police men for having a Palestinian flag while he runs for his life and then is beaten. This “kalifat” bs you’re talking about is just straight up lies
You will find anything on the WWW, if you just look for it. Whether it’s a person with a rainbow flag, a woman, or a person of any religion getting beaten up. Just open Twitter and there you go…
What do you mean bs? It was a video in which people demanded a kalifat for Palestine and the others wanted one in Germany. I do not say that everyone thinks like this. I have only described what was the situation here, what went through the media and press and that that was interpreted as a no-go here in Germany.
I’m pretty sure that the people “demanding a Kalifat” won’t be demonstrating on a women’s march. O.o
Maybe, you misunderstood my comment:
Is it? We had many peaceful demonstrations. When it got problematic was when people on demonstrations shoutet that they wanted a kalifat (don’t know how to write the word) and “from the river …”, because Hamas and other people interpret it differently.
I did not state that the kalifat shouts happened during the protest you saw in that video. That was months ago. And it was not a protest for women at all. The participants were even separated by gender, if I remember correctly.
But I’m not arguing for obvious islamists. I’m arguing that every Palestinian protest (even those on women’s march) are suspicious for the German state.
It’s not only happening on protests. People get exmatriculated or their visas revoked if they go to the wrong protest camp or post the wrong things on facebook. You can also get your citizenship denied if you have the wrong opinions on Iserael, since the IHRA is official stance of the state.
I think, this is a quite biased (at least not accurate) representation of what is happening.
You can probably find single examples of all of that above, e.g. for exmatriculation, but when you dig deeper, there are probably hurdles for that:
Konkret soll exmatrikuliert werden können, wer Gewalt anwendet oder dazu auffordert, wer wegen einer Straftat „zulasten eines Mitglieds der Hochschule“ rechtskräftig verurteilt wurde, oder wer Einrichtungen der Hochschule zu strafbaren Handlungen „nutzt oder zu nutzen versucht“
You can also get your citizenship denied if you have the wrong opinions on Iserael, since the IHRA is official stance of the state.
This “stance of the state” thing is not law. There were for sure public discussions about denying citizenship for people who oppose democracy or the right of Israel to exist. But let me be honest: If someone opposes democracy or freedom or thinks that Israel or any other country should be fully destroyed, I don’t need such a person in my country. But if your opinion is that Netanyahu is an a-hole and that his far-right government buddies only want more war and death, no one will do anything with your citizenship because of that.
You can probably find single examples of all of that above
Here’s an interview of a student about how the state tries to break the protests.
Exmatriculation might be quite rare. But the Staatsschutz telling the BAMF to revoke visas, based on Facebook posts most certainly is not. It’s just not the kind of things you’re gonna read in the SZ, or Welt.
This “stance of the state” thing is not law.
Yes, because the German constitutional court wouldn’t allow that kind of law. It is however a soft-power tool to shape political discourse in favour of Netanyahu.
There were for sure public discussions about denying citizenship for people who oppose democracy or the right of Israel to exist.
I findeyour faith in the organs of the state a bit naive.You can check out yourself how these decisions not to grant citizenship are carried out. If you ask me: most of the questions the judge uses to determine whether or not someone is “opposing democracy” wouldn’t get a correct answer from most Germans.
We will maybe break up with usa but never with israel. Fucking shameful what germany of all places is endorsing.
As a state, it’s easier to support Israel than to actually take some fucking responsibility.
Loving the irony of that fully armored Nazi police fuck pushing and punching an unarmed old woman on her face, front-and-center of this video.
are those flags for women’s rights movement?
No those are palestinian flags
“Ah shit this is the wrong spot! The Palestine meetup is over there!”
Well, someone wasn’t at a protest today. /s
No, very much the opposite.
The civilized Western world is ramming some sense into these crazy women holding Palestinian flags where the most women are killed worldwide by the West.
Truly this is peak civilization.
I can only imagine the comments if this was Iran instead of Germany.
Those are Palestinian flags, buddy.
Indeed. Palestinian women are the most oppressed women in the world. They are being oppressed by the Western hegemony and Israel.
I wanted to make a funny joke, but honestly this is just fucking disrespecful. I am sure you know 100% how women in gaza are treated. To not aknowledge this, ESPECIALLY when you’re using women’s rights as a bait in your title is just utterly disrespectful.
It is disrespectful to all the women suffering and it is underminig and deminishing the women’s rights movement.
Though maybe that’s what you want, the way you defend (deliberately not talk about) islamists mistreating women.
When your racism surpasses literal genocide.
- If you think respecting women has anything to do with race, maybe yoi’re the racist one
- By calling everything you don’t like “racism”, you weaken the term. The next time I see you call someone a “racist” I will think they’re actually a feminist like me. If ebough people do this enough times, the term “racism” will lose all its meaning and its bad chonotation
More than 13.000 women mass murdered, many more injured, around a million women and girls actively starved and psychologically tortured.
Worlds most oppressed are oppressed by Secularism and Liberalism. Not “islamism”.
If you knew anything about Gaza except racism, you would know women in Gaza are not even obliged to wear headscarves and one of the Emmy winning journalists from Gaza (Wizard Bisan) does not.
… on top of being oppressed by Islamists
No Israel is the only party mass murdering and starving Palestinian women.
Your imaginary racism has nothing to do with real oppression.
Which city? BE is Berlin?
Berlin today. Source https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/1898481083424890942
Authorities have banned Arabic chants and speeches at demonstrations
Has anyone taken this to court yet? Surely it would be unconstitutional?
You’re underestimating how much freedom of speech is repressed in Germany when it comes to speech that critizises Israel.
Anyone care too explain why Germany is so pro-Israel?
It’s a way to launder Germany’s reputation after the holocaust while also profiting from the settler-colonialist project of Israel.
