To add to other answers you've received, Germany's suppression of pro-Palestine protest has included Jewish anti-zionist activists. It is convenient for Israel if they can perpetuate the idea that the Jewish people are synonymous with Israel, and that anti-zionism = antisemitism. Jewish anti-zionists severely disrupt this idea, and the fact that Germany has taken action against people like this is quite revealing about priorities.
An illustrative example of what I mean is Udi Raz, a Jewish activist who was arrested in Germany . Suppression of voices speaking in solidarity with Palestine has been happening in many countries, but Germany seems to be going extra heavy on this, likely because of a misplaced sense of duty following the Holocaust.
Germany supplies 30% of the weapons used for the genocide in Gaza. They have a very strong Zionist lobby and crack down extremely hard on any pro-Palestine speech.

Can someone provide context for a lazy soul (and anyone else who sees this later)?
I can understand "fuck Israel", but what's happened in Germany recently that prompted this?

They have been aggressively going after pro Palestine protestors and strongly support the genocide.

Guilt-tripped into supporting Israel due to their past, I'm guessing.

"Maybe this genocide is the correct one to support"

Some think this is because of 'holocaust guilt' but this a sham.

And just like that, centrists hate the environment.
