Germany’s antisemitism commissioner is urging a crackdown on protesters who don yellow stars to complain about the pandemic lockdown.
Speaking Friday, Felix Klein urged authorities across Germany to bar protesters from using the symbol, saying it relativizes the Holocaust. The Nazis forced Jews to wear a yellow Star of David as a means of humiliating them and marking them for further persecution, deportation and murder.
Some demonstrators have used the star, emblazoned with the words “non-vaccinated” in a Hebraicized script, to boost their claim of being persecuted for opposing coronavirus policies.
Germany does not require that citizens be vaccinated, but is offering to loosen social-distancing restrictions for those who get the shots.
If people pin so-called Jewish stars on themselves … thereby drawing comparisons that relativize the Holocaust, then the means provided by law should be applied against them,” Klein told Germany’s Tagesspiegel newspaper.
M While Holocaust denial is against the law in Germany, relativization skirts the legal boundaries. But it is important to ban this particular abuse of history, German political scientist and antisemitism expert Hajo Funke said in a telephone interview.

Try the same ban, Rats.
Do I look like I can sew or embroider? Crayons will just wash off. Darn my poor home economic skills anyway.
Can you iron? Just copy the picture on to an iron on paper; oh, wait ... you can’t iron either. *sigh* what to do, what to do ..
Got it, Thanks!!
No free speech again? Those eugenicists.
Germany will never change. Der Fuehrer demands that you wear the Yellow Star which gives you a one way ticket to Auschwitz Birkenau. Die Fuehrerin demands that you will not wear it. Either way, you go to the gas chamber.
Unfortunately, this is what is going on in the United States today. Joe Biden is Die Fuehrerin these days.
Maybe not the yellow star, but we need some symbol to wear to show opposition to the mandates.

I don’t wear masks often but when I’m forced to, I vary between one that says “Worn under Protest” and “Masks are Totally Useless”.
“Take all the people with yellow stars to the camps and give them showers.”
Some of the masks around here have “F**k Mills” (without the asterisks) in recognition of the great job the governor of Maine is doing. Window and bumper stickers too.
Warms the cockles of my heart.
Use a red star. They will like that.
Is it okay to wear a yellow star in protest pf banning yellow stars?
I think people donning the yellow star are guilty of cultural appropriation. Having to wear the humiliating and identifying yellow star was a tactic used by the Nazis to make the Jews objects of derision and to stand out from others as separate. I don’t think their use by latter-day mask protesters is appropriate; it cheapens the horrible conditions the original yellow star brought about for Jews wearing it.
