Writer investigated and searched for criticizing Netanyahu

A German author and politician has been investigated by police over social media posts comparing Benjamin Netanyahu to the Nazis, The Telegraph writes.

Jürgen Todenhöfer, a former parliamentarian for the centre-Right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, was raided by Munich police, he said.

The 84-year-old, who left the CDU in 2020 to found The Justice Party, wrote on X: “Mr Netanyahu, does your conscience never actually protest when you do to Palestinians the same thing that the cursed Nazis did to the Jews?”

Todenhöfer said police monitored his apartment for weeks before carrying out the raid.
