Supporters of the pro-Palestine students argue that campus protest is a longstanding tradition of civic expression, and that preserving that inherited custom matters more than the order riot police were sent to enforce.
Supporters of the pro-Palestine students argue that the university's founding mission of free inquiry obliges it to protect campus dissent, and they point to the arrests as evidence that inherited institutional norms of open debate are being abandoned.
Supporters of Pro-Palestine students counter that this reading of Germany's memory culture is selective, arguing that a tradition of remembrance should also protect speech criticizing state policy, not only police order.
Supporters of Pro-Palestine students argue that Germany's assembly-law protections should shield peaceful campus protest, contending that arrests by riot police raise proportionality concerns under constitutional free-expression guarantees.
Supporters of the pro-Palestine students argue that arresting peaceful demonstrators at the University of Hamburg violates rights to assembly and free expression under German constitutional and international law.
Supporters of Pro-Palestine students counter that legality of arrests isn't settled by police acting within statutory authority, arguing that dispersal orders must still satisfy proportionality and free-assembly protections under German constitutional law.
Supporters of the pro-Palestine students argue that Germany's deployment of riot police against campus dissent exposes a double standard: the state tolerates some speech while criminalizing theirs, so they court arrest to reframe the crackdown as the real scandal.
Supporters of the students argue that Germany's riot police deployment reveals whose dissent the state will tolerate, framing the arrests as a calculated signal to movements challenging power rather than a neutral policing choice.
Pro-Palestine students counter that visible arrests aren't deterrence but recruitment—each image of police hauling students away hands organizers the moral authority and sympathy the state's authority was meant to deny.

Supporters of the pro-Palestine students argue that arresting peaceful student protesters with riot police is a moral failure, since voluntary political expression on campus should not be met with force.
Pro-Palestine students counter that labeling their assembly "unauthorized" ignores the moral priority of conscience over permit paperwork, arguing that dispersing peaceful protesters to uphold order punishes the exercise of speech rather than protecting anyone.
Supporters of the pro-Palestine students argue that religious conscience and moral witness must be protected, maintaining that police arrests at the University of Hamburg violate the students' freedom to act on deeply held convictions.
Supporters of the pro-Palestine students argue that religious conscience and the duty to bear witness against injustice compel their protest, and that police force against peaceful students violates Germany's constitutional protection of faith and assembly.
Supporters of Pro-Palestine students counter that Romans 13 speaks to authorities who serve justice, citing the same scripture's call to resist unjust rulers, and argue that conscience bound to divine law can outweigh deference to the state.

Supporters of German riot police invoke the postwar principle of not tolerating public disorder on campuses, arguing that Germany's history compels firm enforcement rather than permissive protest.
Supporters of German riot police invoke the postwar doctrine of wehrhafte Demokratie, arguing that a state forged against Nazism must police public order firmly, and they cite campus confrontations as proof that restraint invites escalation.
Supporters of German riot police counter that Germany's own cultural memory of Weimar-era street disorder makes unfettered campus confrontation a precedent the country deliberately rejects.
Supporters of German riot police argue that arrests at the University of Hamburg were lawful enforcement of campus rules and assembly limits, maintaining that police acted within statutory authority to restore order.
Supporters of German riot police argue that arrests at the University of Hamburg were lawful enforcement of campus rules and public order, maintaining that police acted within statutory authority against unauthorized gatherings.
Supporters of German riot police counter that assembly rights under Article 8 are not absolute and can yield to public order and the rights of others, so proportionate arrests at campus protests fall within statutory limits.
Supporters of German riot police argue that visible arrests at the University of Hamburg restore deterrence, signaling that campus disruption carries a cost and preserving the state's authority to set the terms of protest.
Supporters of German riot police argue that visible arrests restore the state's monopoly on campus order, signaling to future demonstrators that disruptive protests carry costs—deterrence achieved through example rather than dialogue.
Supporters of German riot police counter that the state's selective enforcement is deliberate, not hypocritical: tolerating some speech while policing theirs signals which alliances matter, and they argue that courting arrest only hands authorities the escalation they need to jus.
Supporters of German riot police argue that campus order and public safety must be upheld, maintaining that lawful dispersal of unauthorized protests protects students and prevents escalation.
Supporters of German riot police argue that campus order and public safety obligations morally required intervention at the University of Hamburg, since lawful assembly protections do not extend to confrontations that disrupt university operations.
Supporters of German riot police counter that protecting public order and the safety of all citizens is itself a moral duty, and that dispersal measures aim to prevent harm to people and property rather than to silence dissent.
Supporters of German riot police invoke Romans 13's call to submit to governing authorities, arguing that law enforcement preserves public order and that religious conviction does not exempt students from lawful civil authority.
Supporters of German riot police argue that scripture commands obedience to lawful authority (Romans 13), so enforcing campus order and arresting protesters is a biblically defensible duty rather than oppression.
Supporters of the German riot police counter that religious witness is not a license for civil disorder, arguing that scripture itself commands obedience to lawful authority (Romans 13) and that conscience must be exercised within, not against, the just order police are sworn to.
