Ahmad Mansour

Ahmad Mansour criticized the treatment of the police over the past three years as defamatory and disrespectful. He wrote that it is not about Palestine or Gaza, but rather about a systematic erosion of the principles of the rule of law and decreasing respect for those who protect the rule of law. Mansour expressed his respect for the police officers who continue to serve in Berlin despite the daily demands. He warned that a society that despises its police must expect to eventually lose the protection it takes for granted. #Polizei #Rechtsstaat #Respekt (translated)

Ahmad Mansour asked who had normalized the fact that anti-Semites and Islamists openly and confidently glorified terror in the middle of Europe – in this case, in the Netherlands. He also questioned how it had come to be that such actors felt safer in Europe than in most Muslim countries. #Antisemitismus #Islamismus #Europa (translated)

Ahmad Mansour wrote that Berlin shows a loss of the social compass. Three years after October 7, which he described as the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, only a few hundred people had gathered at Bebelplatz – in a city with nearly four million residents. He reminded that books were burned there in 1933. Mansour criticized that the promise of "Never again" had become a ritual while the memory fades. At the same time, there are negotiations to bring people to power who have made Berlin unsafe for Jews, he wrote, calling this indifference. A society measures itself by who stands alongside Jews on such an evening – and who is missing, he added. #7Oktober #NieWieder #Gedenken #Berlin (translated)

Ahmad Mansour described that a six-year-old girl asked in the car on October 7, 2023: "Are you Israelis?" She had just lost both parents, heard gunshots around her, and tried to protect her little sister while police officers fought for her rescue. #Israel #Terror #Menschlichkeit (translated)

Ahmad Mansour referred to a contribution from a member of the Bundestag from the Left Party as "Exhibit No. 74323." He asked whether anyone would publish something like that if they wanted to show even a hint of reflection in the current situation. https://t.co/f87eduqCke #Bundestag #DieLinke #Reflexion (translated)

Ahmad Mansour wrote that he had seen a 47-minute film with footage from the terrorists' bodycams. The footage showed children, women, elderly people, and Holocaust survivors who had been cold-bloodedly murdered; moreover, houses with crying children inside had been set on fire. He described the film as the worst thing he had ever had to see and questioned how such acts could be referred to or justified as "liberation struggle." #Frieden #Menschenrechte #Kriegsverbrechen (translated)

Ahmad Mansour wrote that an Indian pilot apparently risked his life to prevent a disaster. The German Tagesschau had demonstratively put the word "hero" in quotation marks. In the United Arab Emirates, Crown Prince and Defense Minister Hamdan bin Mohammed visited the pilot in the hospital and honored him as someone who had saved lives. Mansour described the difference as remarkable. #Held #Mut #Lebenretten (translated)

Ahmad Mansour wrote that for years, dissenting opinions had been classified as right-wing; those who asked questions were treated not as conversation partners but as fascists. When there was a possibility in parliament that votes from the AfD could be cast during a vote, the same voices had warned of a dam break and a possible end of the republic. Mansour pointed out that these people considered themselves antifascists and defenders of democracy. At the same time, they now asked indignantly whether antisemitism on the left, connections to organized clans, and years of ignoring Islamism were really grounds for criticism. He wrote that anyone who criticized the left, according to their portrayal, was not engaging in criticism but conducting a campaign. #Demokratie #Antifaschismus #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

Ahmad Mansour wrote that on the Day of German Unity, most businesses remained closed. He ironically noted that in 2026, there was hardly any sense of unity; the country seemed more divided than it had been in a long time. At the same time, Die Linke could form a government in Berlin within a few weeks and appoint the governing mayor, he wrote. #TagderDeutschenEinheit #Deutschland #Politik (translated)

Ahmad Mansour stated that demands for better schools, enough teachers, and real opportunities for young people are justified and deserve attention. He described the arson and destruction of school buildings, as well as attacks on teachers, as violence against the people and institutions that facilitate education. According to Mansour, those who demand education while destroying its foundations undermine their own cause; legitimate protest is based on arguments rather than violence. #Bildung #Protest #Gewalt (translated)

Interesting how many self-proclaimed guardians of humanity and justice have been silent since this morning. Wanting to bring down a plane full of families, women, and children – and yet not a word. Apparently, for some, it is not the suffering that decides, but the ideological classification of perpetrator and victim, whether outrage is warranted. #Gerechtigkeit #Menschlichkeit #Empörung (translated)

Wie viele Beispiele braucht es noch, damit endlich verstanden wird: Die Linke hat ein strukturelles Problem mit Antisemitismus. Es geht nicht um einen Einzelfall. Nicht um ein Foto von einer Wahlparty. Es geht um ein Muster. https://t.co/me3NN8L43y #Antisemitismus #Politik #Linke

1:33 Minuten, die zeigen, wie reflektiert und differenziert Teile der arabischen Welt über den Nahostkonflikt diskutieren – im Vergleich zu manchen „Experten“, die uns den Konflikt auf Deutsch erklären wollen. Es zeigt, wie kaputt unsere Debatten darüber inzwischen sind. https://t.co/UkzIE0DmBx #Nahostkonflikt #Diskussion #ArabischeWelt
