Am I understanding correctly that if I were to fly to Germany, step out of the airport, and shout “Americans are evil”, I’d have violated this law?

Calling them evil is not prohibited, but if you say they are evil, so we should kill them all. That's a different level.

That’s not what the law says, though. It criminalizes speech that incites hatred or calls for violence.

Americans are evil, doesn't incite hatred but kill them all, calls for violence.

Shouting that a group of people is evil doesn't incite hatred of that group?

What about if I said "I hate all Americans"? That's certainly hateful but is it inciting hatred?
