Iman Sefati wrote that calls against Israel and Zionists at pro-Palestinian demonstrations with children, in his opinion, showed how early hatred of Jews is instilled in them. He compared this to being imprinted by mother's milk and stated that he knows this from Iran. Many Europeans underestimated the danger because they did not take such slogans seriously enough, he wrote. #Antisemitismus #Kindheit #Demonstrationen (translated)

The author of the article accused Hape Kerkeling of portraying his grandfather in a speech in the Thuringian state parliament as a victim of National Socialism and of dramatically equating his imprisonment in Buchenwald with that of persecuted Jews. According to the author, Kerkeling concealed the reasons for his grandfather's imprisonment, Hermann Anton Kerkeling. According to the article, Hermann Anton Kerkeling was sentenced to eight years in a correctional facility in October 1933 for 17 counts of livestock and property theft during the economic crisis. Shortly thereafter, an additional year was added for preparation for high treason, among other things in connection with the communist pamphlet Rote Welle. He served his sentence in Münster, Papenburg, and Bremen. After that, the Gestapo ordered protective custody in Münster in May 1942. On July 2, 1942, Kerkeling was brought to Buchenwald as a political prisoner with the number 6117. He worked in the effects chamber and remained in Nazi custody until the liberation of the camp on April 11, 1945 – a total of about twelve years. He died in Recklinghausen in 1993 at the age of 91. The author described him as an active communist and gang thief, not as a typical victim of National Socialism. #Geschichte #Nationalsozialismus #Erinnerung (translated)

Malca Goldstein-Wolf criticized Schalke 04 for what she believes was a too general statement in memory of the massacre on October 7, 2023. She wrote that the day should be dedicated to the innocent victims of Islamist violence in Israel, including the babies killed by Hamas, the women who were raped, and the young people who wanted to celebrate. The memorial should not include dead Hamas members and their Palestinian supporters, nor all war victims worldwide. Goldstein-Wolf suggested that the football club may have been intimidated or worried about upsetting Muslim players and fans. As a result, the statement became diluted and lacked credibility, she wrote. She added that Jews need real and reliable friends now more than ever; good intentions are not enough. #Gedenken #Hamas #Opfer (translated)

Mathias Priebe criticized what he described as claims of sole representation, refusal to engage in discourse, and a blocking stance, stating that narrow-mindedness does not lead to progress. The man had received an invitation and wanted to commemorate the victims of an attack. Priebe noted that it was not to be expected that he would give the Hitler salute in a synagogue. He pointed out that the greatest concern for "Grandchildren Against the Right" was that their enemy image might be exposed because of this. In conclusion, he asked what would have happened if the president of the Palestinian students had appeared. #Priebshow https://t.co/UJtB3oH6Av #Judentum #Studierende #Gedenken (translated)

Felix Bohr wrote that Oskar Schindler was born in 1908 and as a manufacturer saved around 1200 Jews. After 1945, those saved gifted him a ring with a saying from the Talmud, according to which saving a single life is equivalent to saving the whole world. Schindler is considered a "Righteous Among the Nations." https://t.co/NVYImN504F #OskarSchindler #GerechteUnterDenVölkern #Holocaust (translated)

Igor Levit wrote that Tillschneider described the attack in Halle as a "rampage." The perpetrator had attempted to enter the synagogue on Yom Kippur in order to murder Jews but was unable to get through the door and subsequently shot two people. Seven years later, Jewish students stand before the same door that Tillschneider referred to as "fanaticized." Levit stated that there is no need to know more about Tillschneider and praised JSU Deutschland. #Antisemitismus #Hassverbrechen #Judentum (translated)

"It has been and is the wish of the Jewish community in Halle to dedicate this day of remembrance to the victims of the dreadful attack on October 9, 2019, and to allow no political instrumentalization. By his attempt to participate, AfD politician Hans-Thomas Tillschneider has trampled on this wish," said Josef Schuster (72), president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, to the "Jewish General." #HalleAnschlag #Menschenkette #AfD (translated)

The decision to collaborate with left-wing extremists is an unprecedented political taboo break by the SPD and the Greens! CDU Secretary General Franziska Hoppermann (44): “The decision to collaborate with left-wing extremists is an unprecedented political taboo break by the SPD and the Greens! Those who make pacts with forces that trivialize left-wing anti-Semitism and maintain contacts with clan criminality sacrifice the compass of our rule of law.” #Antisemitismus #Koalition #Berlin (translated)
