I do say many critical things about my political leaders and government policies, online. But, like I said, I am more mindful of what I say and how I say it (e.g. I often quote such things from a news source / media). (People in Germany and UK can do so too - just understand the law and quote DW, BBC, DailyMail etc., all of whom have mentioned something about the Gaza genocide or Elon Musk's Nazi like behaviour, at some point). If the government wants to come after you, they will. You have to have faith in your democracy and the courts. If you are losing faith in your democratic setup, be prepared to mobilise people with some political party (or start one) and fight for your rights - it will have more lasting political impact than any anonymous post you make online.

I have faith the courts will interpret the law as written, because that's what they almost always have done so far, and the way they've previously interpreted it. And the law as written says don't be antisemitic. And the law as previously interpreted is that saying anything bad about Israel is antisemitism.

Quoting antisemitic publications for the purpose of agreeing with them is also antisemitism, not sure why you'd think it wouldn't be.

Yeah, I understand your point quite well. Many western countries do (or are trying to) conflate criticism of Israel and antisemitism, to create a chilling effect to protests against their own foreign policies on Israel and Israel's policies on Palestine ( see https://politics.stackexchange.com/q/93431 ). But, like I said, while a government intent on persecuting will do so, they still have to deal with the courts too - as far as I know, no one has been successfully prosecuted under such laws.

Not really. It would be the media outlet who would be liable as you are only simply repeating what they said in good faith.
