Germany never underwent denazification, and now they're weaponizing anti-holocaust denial laws to protect the genocide in Gaza. If you so much as suggest that what Zionists are doing is an extension of the holocaust, or that the nazis supported Zionism, you're an anti-semite. Meanwhile Zionists are mass murdering Jewish people and Palestinians alike with impunity, both of which are Semites, and you're not allowed even allowed to acknowledge that fact. A lot of the loudest voices are Jewish activists and they're just throwing the book at them.
EDIT: and conflating Judaism and Zionism is also anti-semitism, and if i'm not mistaken German law literally says the opposite.
Anti-semitism is so built into German government and culture that they genuinely think they're good guys for defending Zionism.
I'm sick of having to explain this every single time some German comes along and gets offended that I would imply the links between Zionism and Nazism, but the Nazis literally supported Zionism because to them it was a method of getting Jewish people out of the country.
