I submit that German politicians and whatever regulatory agencies they have that oversee hate speech matters need to zoom the fuck out and understand that a group that you wronged in history can, in fact, be guilty of the same crime you yourself were guilty of, and are trying to guard against. Making hate speech protections this ethnically literal around Jews (and, it should be mentioned, Russians as well) is in fact counterproductive to the spirit of the whole “never again” idea.
Well articulated—clear and concise!
