        It’s like a European Musical Olympics. Each year every country sends 1 performer and they all compete, all of Europe votes on who was the best act.

        It’s mostly the cheesiest pop music you’ll ever hear, but its winners are everything from ABBA to Lordi.

        We (Australia) also compete, and controversially so is Israel. Last year Zionists influenced it to stop acts from winning and manufacturing incidents//assaults on performers to get artists disqualified. This year EuroVision themselves have gone extra hard to protect Israel and stop anything negative being said about Israels ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity.

            Zero parts of that comment violate German law or would get the comment removed from !europe@feddit.org

            The comment doesn’t doesn’t draw a parallel to nazis nor does it call for an end to Israel, therefore it is completely fine both by German law and the moderator’s actions.

              Jawohl! We must follow the law, not matter how wrong it is!

                If following a law slightly restricting freedom of speech - which is fully compatible with the German constitution may I add - ensures the existence of the instance, then yes, following this law is a moral good.

                Besides, wrong laws should be followed, provided the law is not unjust in its very foundation (such as a law mandating the dealth penalty). That’s the Radbruch formula which is a core of German jurisprudence since WW2 which allows for prosecution of “legal” crimes and mandates disobedience of unjust laws.

                This current law - or rather the interpretation of it - is objectively wrong. Its foundation - the criminalization of antisemitism and Holocaust denial - however is not unjust in its very being.

                You can be assured feddit.org will never follow any “law, no matter how wrong it is” - as that would be illegal.
