Tobias Huch accused Federal President Steinmeier of relativizing the suffering of October 7, 2023, with a statement and equating Israel with antisemitic terrorism. This, Huch wrote, inflames antisemitism. He also criticized Steinmeier's Iran policy during his time as Foreign Minister and claimed it contributed to setting the Middle East on fire. Steinmeier had, at that time, supported Israel's enemies like hardly anyone else. Huch called him the worst Federal President in history and accused him of devaluing the Federal Cross of Merit by awarding it to people more favorable to him. #Bundespräsident #Antisemitismus #Nahostkonflikt (translated)
