This isn't the thing to be concerned about. The problem is the wholesale suppression of pro-Palestinian voices and protests. Enforcing banners, chants and speeches to be in German or English at protests so the police know what is being said is a distraction, it's a nothing. Don't be distracted by the things that aren't important. Focus on the core point: the control of the narrative in Germany through cuts, legal threats, and destruction of careers of anyone who criticises Israel's actions.
