To add to other answers you've received, Germany's suppression of pro-Palestine protest has included Jewish anti-zionist activists. It is convenient for Israel if they can perpetuate the idea that the Jewish people are synonymous with Israel, and that anti-zionism = antisemitism. Jewish anti-zionists severely disrupt this idea, and the fact that Germany has taken action against people like this is quite revealing about priorities.

An illustrative example of what I mean is Udi Raz, a Jewish activist who was arrested in Germany . Suppression of voices speaking in solidarity with Palestine has been happening in many countries, but Germany seems to be going extra heavy on this, likely because of a misplaced sense of duty following the Holocaust.
