A German court has ruled that a Nazi concentration camp memorial has the right to refuse entry to those wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf.

The higher administrative court in the eastern state of Thuringia on Wednesday rejected a request from a woman to be allowed entry to the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial while wearing a keffiyeh.

“It is unquestionable that this would endanger the sense of security of many Jews, especially at this site,” the court said.

    It wasn’t an accusation but simply a fact.
    It’s “funny” how that’s the thing you care about and not the actual point of my comment, that those people - communists or not - praise the massacre of October 7th. I feel like their “right” to the place expires by that.

      I was poking you specifically on the “Communist” part because I saw you bring it up elsewhere in the conversation. I don’t adopt this organization’s political analysis of the October 7th attacks.

      Now, let’s talk about the “right” to the place. The Nazis murdered homosexuals in Buchenwald. Does a member of a homophobic Jewish organization get the right to visit with symbols of their organization?
