    looking at the Bundesliga table, sounds like El Ghazi dodged a bullet by not having to play for them any longer

    Lol, free speech when it’s Ukraine… Contracts cancelled when Muslims are oppressed … the west is hypocritical and it gets more obvious daily.

      Comments like that are the reason why every thread that remotely covers politics should be locked immediately.

        It wasn’t a call for genocide and it’s disgusting that this lie is being propagated in order to quell speaking up against the actual genocide Israel is committing

    Typical of the German establishment attitude throughout all of this. For some reason they think they can alleviate their supposed collective guilt in fucking up one ethnic group by now unconditionally standing behind this group no matter what their state has turned into, even if it means fucking up another group, and even finding it not problematic at all to clamp down on the freedom of expression everywhere in the society on this topic and turning a blind eye to what’s happening right now to make them feel better and protect their sense of conscience (just like what they did in WWII). The sheer irony. Eternal tragicomedy that is the humanity smh.

    (BTW I see that the content of his initial deleted post could have been interpreted as hate speech, on which I don’t have enough knowledge to ascertain if he really meant that. (Also took a while just to find out what the post really said, with current reports not mentioning that, which is not helpful.) This and other cases do generally reflect the current situation in Germany though.)

    Something is seriously wrong with Germany. Why can’t a player express his opinion freely? It is not like he supports Nazi or anything.

      Because he supports the extinction of Israel. There are just certain phrases you can’t use. It’s the same with certain phrases used by the Nazis even if they don’t mean that much context free.
