That’s wrong. You can criticise Israel all day long, but you may maneuver yourself into problems if you mix up the Jews (as in anti-semitic rhetoric) with the the state of Israel.
Really? I can’t remember that anybody got legally punished for criticizing Israel, but I might just not remember it. Can you provide sources for your claim?
No, you either didn’t read the article or didn’t understand it. The article doesn’t mention a single instance of what you claim.
The article is about political pressure, as I said, about accusing Israel critics of other crimes and thereby trying to shut them down. But criticizing Israel is not illegal. And that is the same as happened in USA, where protest where shut down and accused of other crimes to stop them.
So, rather than wasting time arguing with you when you’re just going to actively deny verifiable reality, I’m just going to say “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” (because I don’t live in Germany, where it’s illegal.)
I believe he’s talking about Germany not allowing critique on war crimes and mass murder if perpetrated by Israel.
And that is not on a criminal level but instead on a political.
It is legally perfectly allowed to critique Israel. So the OP still would be wrong.
Actually are there are legal restrictions on critising Israel in Germany.

The article itself proves you wrong, but you already knew that

You’re literally in the comment section for an article about it

Yes, criticising Israel is illegal as you have yourself just stated. The exact legal mechanism which the state uses does not change this.
Actually it does. If you’re just going to straight up deny verifiable reality, what’s the point in talking to you?
What? I specifically checked the article before I posted the comment. Please quote the part you are talking about.

My brother/sister/comrade in christ, read the article this comments section is centered around.

It is legally allowed to critique Israel.
