Wait... What Century is This?

German Courts set precedence that violence against German Jews are "a justified expression of criticism of Israel’s policies."

This is what happens as you successfully dehumanize a defined set of people. First the lies posed as "just questions", leading to cautionary language about the supposed wrongs committed by that set of people. Then the caustic language inciting "mostly peaceful" protests. And then a steady escalation into steadily increasing violent acts.

Each escalation justified by the permissiveness shown towards the previous, all en route to one final solution.

UPDATE: There seems to be some doubt in the minds of the horde on the veracity of this report. To clarify, this report is about a higher court affirmation of a lower-court's ruling in 2015.

There is no question of the Synagogue attack occurring, who the attackers were, and what the lower court ruling was.

I suppose the current story could be false, and that a higher court ruling didn't occur. I'm not a fact-checker extraordinaire like the WaPo, or CNN, so I don't have the time resources to scrub German court records to affirm this update on the 2015 court ruling.

If it turns out to be false, I'll be sure to issue a correction.
