@connynasch @BenRiceM No question money is part of the equation but in the case of Israel it's not just that imo.
For Germany specifically part is the perpetuating sense of guilt of WWII and for just about everybody it's some weird, almost cultist, belief that Israel has a divine right not equal but above all others. It is so bizarre and disturbing.

@BenRiceM The EU has strong values, its basic principles and ideals I have always loved. I just wish our leaders did the same. This is an utter disgrace, but it happening in Germany and being largely ignored by our politicians and our media comes with little surprise. It might end up at the ECHR at some point, frankly while imperfect they seem to have a clearer understanding of basic rights and the right to protest - especially when protest is so urgently needed.
