Huh, the rules amendment in OP says that they can’t say the Israeli government is “expansionist” or “far-right”, why would “fascist” be okay?

Just FYI. There’s a lot of truth to this, but this post headline is clickbait.
You’re still allowed to do things like call out the genocide, call the Israeli government facist etc.
What you can’t do is stuff like call for a violent overthrow of the state of Israel.
(Which I disagree with because since the status quo is violence I think violence is justified in overturning it)
But anyways. It’s less extreme than the headline suggests.
And also it’s in an effort to comply with German laws. (Which again, I disagree with, but I’m not the one at risk of getting raided here so yeah).

Is you want to understand the spirit of the rules, look no further past the first one:
Calling for the dissolution of Israel, or calling for a one-state solution without specifying equal rights for all people; Jewish in particular.
Why Jewish in particular? How is “equal rights for all people” compatible with “one group of people in particular”?
Jewish supremacism, Israel and Zionism is Jewish ISIS, and trying to hide that part of Israel and punish any discourse around that problem is fascism.
They may let you call Israel fascist in passing, but they won’t let you describe its fascism, that is the bannable offense.

Equal rights for all, but with Jewish people being more equal than everyone else.

Banning the call to dissolve the genocidal Israeli Apartheid would be akin to saying you can disagree with Donald Trump, but you are not allowed to say that he should be impeached.
Germans are not allowing the problem nor the solution to be named. Thus they live in a vague haze where both sides are guilty and there is seemingly no solution possible except the full genocide of all Palestinians.
