[Regnum] The prosecutor's office of the German Bavaria banned the use of the slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” equating it with Nazi mottos. This was stated by Munich senior prosecutor Andreas Frank , as quoted by the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper.
“Anyone who publicly uses propaganda materials of banned organizations will be prosecuted under Article 86a of the Criminal Code. This article previously applied to SS slogans,” Frank said.
In addition to the slogan, criminal penalties will follow the public display of green armbands that read “Knights of the Qassam Brigades” in white letters and a flag often used by Hamas.
As Regnum reported, this slogan was previously used during demonstrations in support of Palestine. Thus, at the end of October in London, almost 100 thousand people

took part in rallies in support of Palestine, including many children and women. The marchers shouted slogans: “Israel is a terrorist state,” “Stop bombing Gaza!”, “We are all Palestinians,” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” One of the most popular slogans was “Truce now.”
The slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” refers to the territories between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Many Jewish organizations interpret it as a call for the seizure of Israeli territories and the destruction of the state of Israel itself. Others argue that this is simply a call to stop the oppression of Palestinians.
