An European citizen is banned to enter an European country for the sake of Israel. Go figure out.

A sign that says "Jews AGAINST Genocide" is forbidden in Germany. Let that sink in.

"If you are not careful, the newspaper will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” - Malcolm X

When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.

The lesson Germany should have learnt from WW2 is that genocide is always wrong. Not that Jews are always right.

Fascism on behalf of Jewish fascists is still fascism, Germany

i feel shame to be german in this moment. FREE PALESTINE!!

Germany didn’t learn anything from their past history

This is just disgusting ! Germany is once more on the wrong side of History !

Germany bans "hate speech", but allows those who promote and act out hate actions?

‘No one can get up much enthusiasm for a Government which puts you in jail if you open your mouth’…. George Orwell

German Government has lost their mind

Germany upholds Palestinian genocide???!! Disgusting! Why is the truth taboo?

Germany being fascist.. nothing new.

Germany will regret this...yet again! They never learn

Germany is on the wrong side of history again.

Again, Germany is on the wrong side of history.

As a German I am deeply ashamed about what is happening here. These are international groups who control their weak german puppets, But at least they are now out in the open, the hypocrazy for al to see.

I was in a German history group for over 5 years on Facebook and they started new rules last week that you can't bring up any negative German history. I quit the group right then and there. .

This shows how the rulers will use the “hate” laws against those struggling for freedom.

As a metalhead I've known for decades about Germany's love of censorship. It's pathetic.

Still behaving like fascists! Way to go, Germany!

Very disturbing. I once enjoyed going on holiday to Germany, but now I think that anyone in their right mind should be wary of going there at all. Yes we know the Germans once committed the most horrifying genocide themselves. But how warped and absorbed in their own guilt they must be, to think that no other country is capable of committing it.

A German citizen who attended it needs to raise this in a German court. I am sure constitutional judges will not look kindly at this governmental and state overreach.

Every day Germany sinks deeper - a German citizen

As an ex German I am disgusted with them yet again on the wrong side of history - sickening

The irony of all this is just beyond my comprehension at this point. Seriously. To pick the wrong side of history twice in front of the entire world and THEN go full 1939 to defend it is just.. wow.

Yanis Varoufakis was due to give a speech at the Palestine Congress in Berlin on Friday 12 April, when German police raided the venue to break up the 1930s-style event. Judge for yourself what kind of society Germany is becoming

As a european, this is so surreal to me. A veil is really being lifted.

Germany always on wrong side of history !!

Absolutely shocking. Shame on Germany government

Ich bin sprachlos. Was hat man aus unserem Land gemacht? Schlimm.😢

If the EU lets this happen, after giving crap to Hungary and Poland for their policies, then the EU is finished.

Germany....Shame on you

I find this deeply serious and terribly troubling.

So much for freedom of speech and human rights in Germany!

Atoning for one genocide by supporting another is either insanity or evil.

Shame on Germany for silencing the truth of what is happening in Gaza

Germany never met a genocide, it disliked.

There was a time in which the "European Garden" claimed that China didn't allow freedom of speech, while in Europe freedom of speech was a constitutional right. But already the Ho....aust issue told everyone that that is a lie. In regard to Germany, and what happens when someone tires to use the right to freedom of speech, see Ursula Haverbeck in Germany.

Shame on Germany!

Germany seems incapable of being on the right side of history.

As "hate speech" laws were spreading across Western countries over the past 30 years, libertarians warned that such laws give those in power the right not only to censor hate speech, but to define at any given moment what constitutes hate speech. They warned that it was only a matter of time before said laws would be turned on those who initially promoted them. Germany is perhaps the most advanced example of this; a few years ago, Angela Merkel tried to prosecute a comedian for making fun of her then-ally Recep Erdogan; more recently, the current government passed a law (or maybe an amendment to an existing law) making it a crime to "insult" public office holders, on the grounds that any "insult" could incite violence. So, the fact that they would persecute those opposing cooperation the state that cannot be mentioned is not at all surprising. In 1977, the ACLU, despite most of its members being Liberal democrats, defended followers of the German dictator that looked like Charlie Chaplin, who had been banned from marching in Skokie IL. Back then, it was common to support the rights of people without liking them or their views. The world needs that kind of respect for free speech today. The right to speak is more important than the feelings of those who are easily offended.

When in history did the food and water needs of the aggressor in a conflict somehow become the responsibility of the nation that was attacked? The very notion is peak insanity.

As a German citizen I say: ”Not in my name!” ✨❤️🍉🎨👨‍🎨✨

I am speechless Yanis and Ghassan and deeply ashamed as German!

Absolutely shocking! It’s so absurd that it’s difficult to believe. Yet, from history we know that this absurd is very dangerous for the whole humanity.

Since when asking for peace is crime?

Germany doing the thing again

Absolutely Yanis is so right....

🙏👍, Yanis Varoutakis! You the great voice for human rights! You the way and the truth.... Stay strong! The world NEEDS You!❤✌️🤞🌏.

The Germans are almost back to pre-WWII form. Together with Israel and the US, fascism is on the march.

I'm deeply ashamed of my country!

This is so disgusting. Ordinary Germans should be appalled.

As a german i support the ban. As far as hamas is an official terrororganisation its forbidden to allow people, who are part of hamas or have strong ties to hamas, to act freely. And this speaker has openly said he would be part of the massacre on jews if he were younger

I am Jewish and my admiration for Germany became immense after I heard that Varoufakis has been banned ! Antisemites like him should not be given a space to speak !

It’s not hate speech to show what’s happening to babies. It is not hate speech to tell the truth. What BS

Here in Spain every day I see a new 🇵🇸 flag on a balcony, new stickers, etc 🙏🙏🙏

The entire police operation reminds me of the political police activity of the 1930s .

As a German I have no words about my government. I can only apology for my country going over the edge of totalitarianism again. I have no words. :(

Shame on everyone who is pretending that their is no genocide happening in Palestine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Police apprehending a young Jewish man with a small sign that said “Jews against genocide”, turned and asked them “would it be better if it said “Jews in favor of genocide..” can’t make this shit up.

who dictates what has to happen in europe, by having laws written for particular interest?

I used to think Western people as a whole are far more careful about human rights than we (Asians) are.. Shame on me..

All the players have been exposed. There is no freedom and humanity. Shame on this farce. 😂😂😂😂😂

😊Julian Assange will never be silenced .Truth will always prevail.

I can’t believe any democratic country takes such actions… this just makes things worse for any human being that dreams with peace, prosperity, freedom, reason and justice for all…

❤ you both! Thank you. Blessings and may GOD protect you.

Yanis Varoufakis is a shining light in this hour of darkness.

The mindset here in Berlin is absolutely frightening.

I didn't recognize the Berlin police without their brown shirts.

this is what they mean by protecting "our democracy"

Germany living up to it's legacy

Sounds like Germany doesn’t want the truth told !! Shame on Germany 🤡🤡

THANKS MR, VAROUFAKIS, FROM GUADALAJARA, MEXICO !! WE DENOUNCE THE GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE !!!!!!!!!!

I hope he sent his lecture to the conference freedom of speech is freedom of speech and its worth starting up for free Palestine respect from Dublin 🇮🇪

I saw a video of a 8th year old boy in a Gaza Hospital whose parents were killed in a israeli air strike and who lost both his legs as they were amputated. The hospital is existing on diesel generators as the occupiers shut down the electricity. We are living in very dark times.

Thank you Yanis Varoufakis and Democracy Now! FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸❤️🍉

Truth always wins, because if it didn't, it wouldn't be the truth.

This conference attended by Palestians and Jews. The Berlin police arrested both Palestinians and Jews! Amazing. History repeating itself

Germany is complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity!

"And, under all the names it may use, fascism, democracy or dictatorship of the proletariat, the capital enemy remains the administrative, police and military apparatus; not the one on the other side, which is our enemy only insofar as it is our brothers' enemy, but the one which claims to defend us and makes us its slaves. In any circumstances, the worst possible betrayal is always to accept subordination to this apparatus and to trample underfoot, in order to serve it, in oneself and in others, all human values". Simone Weil

What on earth is GERMANY up to???? This is very very sinister, in my view. Jane Soole, 80 years, Dorset, England.

Time for a German boycott. I was going to visit this summer, but not now.

Germany never fails to disappoint humanity !

Lies and these liars should be stopped or the world will be in bigger problems

Former Greek finance minister! What a humble man! I thout he is a idle man and never expected, he was a minister!? I wished these people, to ask him, to share us some thing, about the Greek true and original democracy of the Greeks and their philosophers and that false and deceptive democracy of our beloved Americans!?

Germany rounding up specific groups of people they don't like, shocking..

Has Germany learnt from its past?? I think not.. Still a fascist state.

Yanis is an incredibly thoughtful man, showing in no uncertain terms how we are once more becoming serfs in the techno age.

As a German who condemns fashism, I'm deeply ashamed and concerned.

OMG whats wrong with germany ?

As a foreigner living in Germany, I started to stop expressing myself too much. I guess, I just discovered the borders of free speech here.

And why do they all have to cover their faces…. It’s simple. Because they are all cowards

I've heard someone sum up this German misstep perfectly: "They learned the rule (from the holocaust), but not the principle"

the question is, after the Palestinians who's next?

Oh Deutschland, einst auf der falschen Seite der Geschichte zu stehen, hat doch nicht gereicht, oder? Du musst den gleichen Fehler wiederholen? Erbärmlich 🤦‍♂

Poor Germany, what a conundrum , old unused words will start to appear again in the gemrman language, insatsgruppen, gestapo, judenfrag etc etc

Varoufakis is the real adult in the room. When he speaks, everyone should listen.

How is Germany always on the wrong side of fascism?!?!
