Tbh, the only thing that's changed is that the state prosecutor put it on a list of hate speech slogans. Nothing really changed. Hate speech was always illegal in Germany. And you can't really be surprised Pikachu face at the news that German officials are a lot more sensitive against stuff that is actively in use as a rallying frase by actual Terrorists.

But to the Article itself: I don't get the later part of this paragraph, and looks to me almost like ai generated.

The Stuttgart German-Israel Friendship Association claims to be pro-Israel, but receives its funding from the German Foreign Ministry. The lack of independence, critics argue, has turned German-Israel Friendship associations into paper tigers who won’t assertively confront their local, state and federal governments about hardcore pro-Iran and anti-Israel policies.

German-Israel Friendship associations are just that: Associations, not official agency's.

And "hardcore pro-Iran and anti-Israel policies"?????
