Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).
Rules:
1. No Bigotry or Hate Speech
Any forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it.
2. No Zionism
Any forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism.
Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.
Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.
3. Stay Civil
Please maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.
4. No Misinformation
Spreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.
5. No AI Content
Please do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.
Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.
And the BDS campaign against Apartheid South Africa was aimed to end the Apartheid State
Germany continues to support fascism. Only they've outsourced it with Zionism, where the untermensch are Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims
So, what, it's a crime in Germany to avoid purchasing Bamba and Sabra hummus?
Oooor... we can arrest protestors who decry genocide at will now?
No, you can (and should) absolutely boycott anything from Israel. The state can't force you to buy anything.
This move "just" means that anyone who associates with the official BDS campaign can be watched by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, can easier have their privacy rights violated to be spied upon and can easier be arrested should anything "dangerous" be found out.
Where dangerous would be defined by gernan law, so it's purposefully a fuzzy expression.
And yes, protesting if BDS had a hand in organizing the protest counts as associating. So this serves to scare away protesters.
TIL Sabra hummus is from an Israeli company.
Never buying that shit ever again.
Israeli products stay on the shelf.
I don't know what sabra is but it reminds me of sabra and shatila
Germany simply hasn't been on the right side of history since it became Germany.
Good thing this wasn't posted on feddit.org
