Dear Germany, the statute of limitations has expired on guilt. You can stop supporting genocide, now (or can you?)

It's probably in their best interests to put the shovel down at this point.
one of the speakers was subject to a ban on political activity in Germany.
Wtf? Lol.
He apparently praised the founder of PFLP on other occasion, which means he gets doubly hated by German govt because PFLP are Palestinian communists.
Germany didn't even need the AfD to turn into a Nazi police state.
The social democrat party is going for the national socialist rebrand.
Germans and genocide. Name a more iconic duo.
“A speaker was projected who was subject to a ban on political activity,” Berlin police said on social media. “There is a risk of a speaker being put on screen who in the past made antisemitic and violence-glorifying remarks. The gathering was ended and banned on Saturday and Sunday.”
The UK’s Jewish Chronicle reported last year that Abu Sitta spoke at a Beirut ceremony on the anniversary of the death of a founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Maher Al-Yamani.
The report said Abu Sitta wept as he “hailed the late terror group founder for his success at striking fear into the hearts of Israelis.”
Terrorists from the PFLP participated in the devastating October 7 attack.
On October 8, Abu Sitta promoted a social media post which said Gazans should “fight back and die in dignity” as they were “going to die anyway,” the UK’s Jewish News reported.
But of course Israelis are not held up to the same standard when it comes to glorifying violence. As far as I know, Germany has not banned any of the extremists of the Israeli governing clique currently commiting atrocities in Gaza while loudly broadcasting genocidal language.
Not to mention that not all violence is the same. Even on Oct 7th, while the attacks on civilians are unquestionably absolutely reprehensible and deserving absolute condemnation (same as the attacks on civilians by the IDF and the settler militias), there was also legitimate resistance violence. IDF is an occupying force, its soldiers and its bases and installations are 100% legitimate targets for armed resistance (same as actual Hamas fighters are legitimate targets for the IDF).
Which Israeli speakers do you think should have been barred from speaking in Germany if they were even handed in censorship?
To start, those whose statements are cited in South Africa's ICJ submission.
Wow. In Germany you can be banned from speaking about politics.
When did the fucking stasi come back?
