    Then why are artists getting canceled left and right by the government for signing letters in support of a ceasefire? Why are university professors getting their job offers taken back because of the same thing? Why are cultural institutions getting their funding pulled by the government and end up having their existence put at risk because they host peaceful activists like “jewish voice for peace”? Why do peaceful protesters end up in hospital beds after getting attacked by the police? Why does the police storm PEACEFUL activists homes? Why are state owned banks closing down bank accounts of said activists? (Jewish voice for peace had their bank account frozen by Sparkasse Berlin) Why are getting peaceful protesters arrested for signs like “jews against genocide”?

    Where is the oversight? How is this not state repression? This whack is happening right under the state’s eyes and no one seems to do anything. It will surely be fun in a decade when the far right rules this country and they do the same thing without any oversight.
