"The restriction" being: speaking any language other than german or english at a protest.

I think this should be spelled out. That's how nazi this is

The demonstration, which took place at Oranienplatz, reportedly remained peaceful until some began chanting anti-Israel slogans in Arabic, which is banned in Berlin.

the interpretations from the first poster of this article to everyone that has replied is so wildly incorrectly biassed against the german authorities and police to the extent that you compare them to nazis is astonishing

i think the violent fundamentalists are obviously yourselves

All languages other than German and English are banned at these protests in Berlin. It's not only Arabic. Irish is also banned (see link below). Same goes for Hebrew (as per Hebrew speaking pro Palestine activists). And most likely any other language other than German or English would get instantly banned. This isn't normal in a democracy. But sure, go find more excuses for the egregious attacks on our freedom of speech and assembly.

the languages are banned only if they cannot monitor hate speech, which they are very tough on in germany and happens to be all too common at these protests

you can still express yourself freely in german or english
