Schwesig reprimanded Merz and stated that he could schedule a meeting if he felt the need to talk. She then left him standing.

Matthias wrote that he stands firmly with the Jewish people on October 7. He stated that he had seen the images of the massacre and said that anyone who had seen them could not support Hamas or those people in Gaza who had celebrated the vehicles with the abductees. He referred to a mother who, according to his account, had cheered next to a young Jewish girl drenched in blood in the back of a truck. Matthias described this behavior as heartless and indoctrinated. He called it grotesque when people lamented their own victims after a massacre of Jewish civilians had enraged the strongest military power in the Middle East. He also criticized people worldwide who, in his opinion, took the side of the aggressor and accused Israel. Furthermore, Matthias condemned what he described as a newly emerging left-wing driven anti-Semitism in Germany. He accused the government of doing nothing to counter it and wrote that he had never thought he would have to witness this again. #Israel #Antisemitismus #Nahostkonflikt (translated)
