    This comparison is a little one sided. Do the same things during a politcal demonstration and see who gets bruzalized by the police.

    But what are they brutalised for? Being Muslim? Wearing a keffiyeh? The general escalation with the police on these demonstrations cannot be separated from occurrences of calls to destroy Israel, antisemitic ones and others that aren’t legal. That’s not to say the police is entirely right to do what they do or the protesters are entirely to blame. But at least to me, these occurrences of criminal conduct is more reason for that escalation than waving a Palestinian flag or wearing a keffiyeh. Let’s be honest: Germany isn’t opposed to a Palestinian state and has also heavily funded Palestine for ages. Germany is opposed to a Palestinian state instead of an Israeli state, and who could be surprised by that?

    As always is the case, different kinds of discrimination (here antisemitism and anti muslim racism) need to be fought together instead of playes out against each other.

    Absolutely.

    Also I wouldnt advise anyone to wear Keffiyeh in Saxony or in general in the country side…

    Yea. But the same applies to wearing a kippah or holding hands with your same-sex partner or doing anything else that does not fit in the narrow worldview of those people. Their hate is ‘universal’…
