Some forms of oppression are more surprising than others. Ever since the world's attention has been focused on Israel-Palestine in October of last year, German state institutions have been ingrained in different forms of suppressing freedom-to express opinions, to protest, to inform. These forms have ranged from brutal, to absolutely racist, to outright absurd. We have seen police beatings, Palestinian dissidents and activists threatened with legal action and Jewish voices subdued.
In late April 2024, the area around the Brandenburger Tor was proclaimed a keffiyeh-free zone. In a nearby part of town, members of the police were recorded preventing a group of people from speaking or singing in Irish—an official language of the E.U.—in light of the illegal and undemocratic ban of all languages other than English and German in public events.
