Wait, my dear #BfV, your examples of #Handala (?) and #watermelon as "symbols of pro-Palestinian extremism" are both AI-generated?
You have no real example at hand? Curious... 🤔

Watermelons and Handala: Germany outlines symbols of 'secular pro-Palestinian extremism' | Middle East Eye (2026-05-13)

>> Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution [BfV] offers insights into the 'symbolism of the cut watermelon' and other signs of extremism 🤣
>> “The watermelon, alluding to the colours of the Palestinian flag, is a symbol of solidarity with Palestine. Here, the outline of the entire state of Israel is depicted in the colours of the Palestinian flag (as a sliced #watermelon), thereby denying Israel's right to exist,” the BfV says. 🤣
>> #Handala, the 10-year-old refugee boy was created in 1969 by cartoonist Naji Al-Ali as a means of expressing the Palestinian experience, is also one of the "Symbols and identifying marks" of the network mapped out by the #BfV. 🤣

The Dialectic of Viewpoint Discrimination (Verfassungsblog, 2026-05-08)
https://verfassungsblog.de/the-dialectic-of-viewpoint-discrimination/

>> the Bundesrat today held its first reading of a bill that would criminalise certain statements about Israel under a newly created offence. The initiative, introduced by the Hessian state government, proposes a criminal prohibition of the “denial of Israel’s right to exist”...
>> The Hessian state government is evidently dissatisfied with what is already a far from restrained approach by German courts and prosecutors. In its view, pro-Palestinian activists, outspoken critics of Germany’s complicity in the escalation of violence in Palestine and Lebanon, the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement, and even anti-Zionist Jewish groups are still not being prevented firmly enough from assembling, nor punished harshly or consistently enough …

April 29, 2026 - Letter to Le Moyne College in support of Mosab Abu Toha - Genocide and Holocaust Studies Crisis Network
https://www.ghscn.org/letters-and-statements
———
>> We write on behalf of the Steering Committee of the Genocide and Holocaust Studies Crisis Network (#GHSCN), an international network of more than 800 scholars and practitioners in genocide and Holocaust studies, to express our profound alarm at your statement condemning the remarks made by Mosab Abu Toha during his recent appearance at Le Moyne College. Your statement not only disparages an internationally acclaimed, prize-winning writer and witness but also advances claims that misrepresent our field’s basic terms of scholarly inquiry as well as legal distinctions codified in international law…

Statement from Mosab Abu Toha in response to LeMoyne College’s President’s email to students today* (2026-04-29)
https://mosababutoha.substack.com/p/statement-from-mosab-abu-toha-in ———
On April 15, I had the honor of visiting and speaking at Le Moyne College. I spoke about my lived experience in Gaza, shared the family trees of those killed by Israel, and read my poems. I also played the actual recordings of Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling that I documented myself while on the ground in Gaza.
This morning, the President of the college sent out an email* condemning my use of the word GENOCIDE when describing these crimes. She claimed that using that word is “antisemitic.” She stated that she recognized the “real hurt” that the word caused to Jewish students…

Palestinian Symbols Banned at Holocaust Memorial Site Buchenwald, Germany - The European Legal Support Center (#ELSC) (2026-03-02)
Palestinian Symbols Banned at Holocaust Memorial Site Buchenwald, Germany - The European Legal Support Center (#ELSC) (2026-03-02)

>> In a new legal case, the European Legal Support Center (ELSC) is defending an antifascist activist’s right to commemorate at Holocaust memorial site Buchenwald, after she was banned and threatened with a criminal complaint by the memorial’s administration for wearing a Kufiya. This case challenges the criminalisation of Palestinian symbols and the role of memorial and cultural institutions in the repression of Palestine solidarity.
>> The ban on Palestinian symbols at Buchenwald is not an isolated measure, but part of a systematic policy of repression…
