A German court has ruled that a Nazi concentration camp memorial has the right to refuse entry to those wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf.

The higher administrative court in the eastern state of Thuringia on Wednesday rejected a request from a woman to be allowed entry to the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial while wearing a keffiyeh.

“It is unquestionable that this would endanger the sense of security of many Jews, especially at this site,” the court said.

    Germans like to pretend that they only tried to genocide the jews during WW2… Makes it easy to pay their dues and move on.

    Westoid mind keeps forgetting what else the Germans did in eastern europe.

      It’s even more interestingly how they keep forgetting the Roma people.

      Hitler himself put the Roma in the same class of “undesirables” as the Jews and they were targetted for extermination just like the Jews, but you don’t see Germany “unwaveringingly supporting” the former group or even mention them, at all.

      The Racist mindset of the Nazis never went away in Germany, they just stopped goose stepping and showing swastikas, and moved the ethnicity which had the most support in the top country of the winners of WWII - America - from the untermenschen colunn to the ubermenschen column while keeping treating people differently depending on their ethnicity.

      Had they actually stopped being Racists, they wouldn’t be “unwaveringly supporting” very openly because of the ethnicity they claim to represent, a nation mass murdering civilians like Israel is doing in Gaza.

      Yeah, they conveniently forget the LGBT-people, the Muslims, the neuro-divergent people, the Roma and the Sinti that got killed in those camps.
