I m ignorant of these matters but it looks like Germany has laws against denying the Holocaust or approving Nazi actions in a way that disturbs the peace but not anti Semitism broadly drawn I don t know whether German prosecutors are this unreasonable but I know in the U S they have actually prosecuted children for making child pornography of themselves if the comment actually is illegal to make there I m not sure it is safe even for a victim to keep reposting it But Wikipedia itself should not be eager to gather up censorship laws from around the world It s too hard for me to puzzle through all the German text relevant to this case which Google Translate handles far more poorly than Chinese or Arabic alas But I think as we re seeing in the present Fae ArbCom case there s a huge divide in perceptions of bias between those who are members of an ethnic group and those who are outside of it Is it anti gay to say that marriage should be between one man and one woman or anti Semitic to say that the U S should end all foreign aid to Israel Or to keep a street named after a historical figure with a notable animosity to either group Your answer depends on who you are If we are to continue to have one Wikipedia for every nation and background we ll have to be willing to accommodate that terms like homophobic and anti Semitic mean very different things to very different people and not punish anyone for using them the way they personally perceive them
