According to the German Wikipedia article on that phrase, it was forbidden as it is a Hamas slogan, but only in the context of endorsement of terrorism, not in general. So there have been cases, where the use was not prohibited on a rally, as it's organisers made explicitly clear that they don't endorse Hamas nor terrorism.

Its allegedly is a Hamas slogan.
And it still discriminates against all legitimate uses. Because you can never be sure if the police still decides to break up the protest after such a chant. And when the police breaks up the protest (with the possibility of violence) after the parole has been used and then it turns out that a judge later decides that it wasn't illegal, it's probably less of a consolidation after the fact.

Its allegedly is a Hamas slogan.
It was not invented by Hamas, but they've used it.

And?
So have Israeli ultra-nationalists (not with the "Palestine" bit, but... yeah)
-
I know and I find that one much worse than the Palestine version.
AfaIk, Israeli ultra nationalists, unfortunately, are not considered terror organizations in Germany.
-
Why would they? They areein line with the "Staatsräson". Friedrich Merz even wanted to invite one of them, even though he's got an international arrest warrant.
-
Do you understand the meaning of "unfortunately"? Does it suggest, I'm okay with that?
-
I wasn't talking about whether or not you're OK with that, but rather that it fits with German policy.
