Left Party MP Cansin Köktürk was thrown out of a German parliament plenary chamber on Wednesday for wearing a t-shirt with the word “Palestine” printed on it, a move deemed a political statement by the parliamentary leadership.

Bundestag President Julia Klöckner intervened during the session, reminding MPs that political messages on clothing are not permitted in the chamber.

While the Bundestag does not have a detailed dress code, its rules require MPs and visitors to dress “in keeping with the prestige” of the institution. Enforcement of this standard is left to the discretion of the session chair.

    I repeatedly responded to your snark with good faith argumentation and nuanced political distinctions. You responded with mockery, moving goalpoasts (somehow you started talking about the Arab conquests), personal insults, spurious accusations of antisemitism and zero engagement with the actual content of my writing. You repeatedly dismissed nuance, equated critique with bigotry, and refused to acknowledge basic historical distinctions. It is clear you aren’t arguing in good faith, and all you’re trying to do is validate your preconceived idea that anyone criticizing Israel has to “deep down” be an antisemite. AI slop is all the answer you deserve. Enjoy your echo chamber.

      As soon as you resorted to AI, it was clear that you were not interested in discussion or debate, you’re only interested in pushing the same tired antisemitic narrative, and you’re incredibly lazy about it. You have such little conviction in what you’re saying that you had to resort to canned replies provided by some machine that thinks for you, not only undermining everything you say, but also revealing what a sad, desperate sort of person is actually fighting so fiercely from behind the safety of a keyboard. Now you’re tucking tail and running, claiming that it’s actually your opponent who’s acting badly, when you have demonstrated repeatedly that you’re not really a serious interlocutor. It’s a classic fascist technique: avoid having to admit that your position is flawed by pretending that the game is unfair and rigged against you. Enjoy your sad little life, you pathetic little Nazi.

          Since you seem to be the one trolling me with your GPT replies, I guess I’ll report you too?

            Nice attempt to reframe what happened. First you repeatedly flooded the zone with historical misrepresentations. I would need to either spend the rest of my day answering your increasingly snarky and bad faith comments, or, as I did, let AI show you at least the ways that you are wrong. But that didn’t even register to you, at no point did you actually engage with the even basic arguments I made, you just kept flooding the zone with more and more bullshit. There is one troll in this discussion and it is not me.
