The sieg hiel meme probably wouldn't have caught as much traction if he wasn't appearing at AfD rallies like the face of Big Brother

  Not OP, but how about "remigration" of many people, but among them German citizens, "back" to their countries of origin, voluntary or otherwise? Their members have been making statements like, the Nazis weren't all that bad, a number of them were found to be parroting Nazi talking points, or quoting verbatim.

    Germany is facing enormous stability problems unless it does something radical, not to mention total cultural erasure. Remigration sounds good even reasonable, within reason. I hope we can agree this is clearly not about genocide? In this regard the Nazi-comparison seems weird. «Their members» is too vague for me to opine on.

      They support ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The original goal of the Nazi concentration camps was relocating ethnic groups to help stabilize Germany and protect its culture. Your viewpoints are indistinguishable from those of a pro-Hitler German in the lead up to world war two.

      Hitler didn't start with genocidal ideas either, it was "remigration" under a different name too. DW has a nice little selection of quotes from senior AdD politicians. Some are simply about hostility to the EU but many are about violence against migrants: https://www.dw.com/en/afd-leaders-and-their-most-offensive-remarks/g-37651099 https://www.dw.com/en/afd-leaders-and-their-most-offensive-r... one select about shooting or gassing, whichever is more convenient, from their now former press officer. Another highlights that AfD uses some Nazi newspeak, on racial dilution.

  > pro Jewish interests They're pro-Israel, not pro-Jewish-people-in-Germany. The AfD leadership is full of people who used to be openly neo-Nazi. The party blames immigrants, foreigners and ethnic minorities for virtually every problem in Germany. This is the kind of movement that instinctively sends a chill down most Jewish people's spines. Xenophobic, racist, crude political movements have historically been bad for Jews.
