Translation
Which actions related to the State of Israel are prohibited in Germany?
- A publicly criticizing Israel's policies
- B hanging an Israeli flag on private property
- C a discussion about Israel's policies
- D publicly calling for the destruction of Israel ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
Freedom of expression under Article 5 GG has limits, and publicly calling for the destruction of Israel crosses into incitement to hatred and crime under the Criminal Code. Criticizing Israeli policy, discussing it, or flying an Israeli flag are all lawful.
Tips
- Criticism and discussion stay protected speech, calls for destruction or violence do not.
