- dpublicly calling for the destruction of Israelder öffentliche Aufruf zur Vernichtung IsraelsCorrect answer
Why?
In Germany you may criticise Israel's policies, discuss them and hang an Israeli flag – freedom of expression protects this. But anyone who publicly calls for Israel to be destroyed is calling for violence and hatred. This is forbidden and can be punished. A rule to remember: criticism yes, incitement no.
