Germany is well-versed in ethnic cleansing. So why the silence? In his acceptance speech, award winner Sands accused the German government on Sunday in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt of indecent silence regarding Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip and against Palestinians. #Friedenspreis #PhilippeSands #Völkerrecht (translated)

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has postponed the parliamentary elections scheduled for the end of November to September 2027 and has rescheduled the overdue presidential election for September 11, 2027, citing restrictions by Israel and the unstable situation in the Gaza Strip as reasons. #Wahlen #Palästinensergebiete #MahmudAbbas (translated)

Juliane von Mittelstaedt's analysis highlights why, despite a year of ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the conflict persists, while the Israeli army continues to occupy parts of Gaza and daily kills Palestinians, without any reconstruction taking place. #Gaza #Waffenruhe #Nahostkonflikt (translated)

Bafta Rhymes expressed his solidarity with the left wing and wrote that he finds it remarkable that the accusation of antisemitism is not considered wrong because of its legitimization of occupation, genocide against Palestinians, repression, and police violence, but because it trivializes antisemitism. #Solidarität #Antisemitismus #Gerechtigkeit (translated)

Nurder Koch wrote that Nazih Musharbash criticized on phoenix that Palestinians are placed under general suspicion, that their grief, perspective, and dead hardly receive attention, and that criticism of the Israeli government is quickly associated with antisemitism. Musharbash emphasized that the lives of all people are equally valuable. If the victims of October 7 are remembered but the mass killings of Palestinians are ignored, it is, according to Koch, not a universal culture of remembrance but state reason. #Menschenrechte #Gleichwertigkeit #Gedenken (translated)

The author wrote that Mosab Hassan Yousef, also known as the "Green Prince," is the son of a co-founder of Hamas and sets the record straight regarding what he believes are false portrayals of Palestinians. He also claimed that Palestinians are not a homogeneous group but consist of many clans that kill each other. #Palästinenser #Hamas #Nahostkonflikt #PS (translated)

The author wrote that Israel has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip after the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, including tens of thousands of children. In doing so, the country has significantly exceeded the biblical rule of ten to one. #Gaza #Israel #Hamas #IL #PS (translated)

Readonly wrote that the events of October 7, 2023, the killing of the victims, as well as the capture and long-term detention and torture of hostages were documented and publicly visible. The handover of the hostages to Israel could also be followed by the world. If Palestinians and Hamas are still portrayed as victims and the world believes this, one can tell people anything, wrote readonly. This is how "social engineering" works. #Politik #Medien #Krieg (translated)

U.M. OSINT explained that he is often criticized for speaking of "the Palestinians" instead of just Hamas. Highlighting Hamas conveys the impression in the West, in his view, that the Palestinians are largely innocent and the responsibility lies solely with a ruling class. In the Gaza Strip and, in a different composition, in the West Bank, the Islamic Jihad (PIJ), the PFLP, the DFLP, the Martyrs' Brigades, Fatah, and other groups are also active. According to U.M. OSINT, the motivation of these groups is distorted in the West. Their goal is the destruction of Israel; they internally view Israel's existence as an occupation of their land. This perspective is also adopted by Western left extremists. U.M. OSINT referred to the resistance against Israel's existence as Muqāwama and stated that civilian, peaceful resistance means Ṣumūd. Citing the recent survey by the Palestinian PCPSR (Poll No 97, 12.08.2026), he wrote that 50% of respondents opposed a two-state solution and 32% supported armed resistance. The latter figure is the lowest ever recorded; in December 2023, it was at 68%. According to an INSS survey (National Security Studies INSS, Special Survey: Palestinian Public Opinion in the West Bank, 17.09.2026), 43% support a Palestinian state between the Jordan and the Mediterranean. Of those, 26% wanted to allow no Jewish presence in such a state, which, according to U.M. OSINT, affects nearly 1.5 million Palestinians. To justify his terminology, he referred to historical comparisons: despite armed resistance in Italy, today, people talk about the Allies' fight against Italy and not just against the Partito Nazionale Fascista. The pro-imperial Taisei Yokusankai is hardly known in Europe; people simply talk about Japan. In World War II, more than 17 million Germans fought, and millions also contributed to the armaments industry and in organizations. It would be strange, he wrote, to attribute the war solely to members of the NSDAP. U.M. OSINT argued that a society bears collective responsibility when it is permeated by a system. Whether Palestinians internally struggle for an Islamist or secular society is of no consequence to Israel externally. In his view, the portrayal of the situation as an occupation of the West Bank is directed at uninformed people in the West. The so-called resistance began long before the founding of Israel and took on current structures while Israel had not yet occupied anything; at that time, the Palestinian autonomous areas were occupied and annexed by Jordan and Egypt. Additionally, from at least 1947, about 1,000 former members of the Waffen-SS fought on the Palestinian side in the so-called Arab Liberation Army (ALA). If he refers to a specific association or terrorist organization, he names it explicitly; otherwise, he speaks of the Palestinians. #Palästinenser #Hamas #Nahostkonflikt (translated)

Hasnain Kazim remembered the third anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. At that time, he arrived by bicycle in Heidelberg and heard discussions about the attack in the marketplace. The terror had strengthened his resolve to stand against extremism. He described the attack as the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. Kazim wrote that religiously justified restrictions and violence had occupied him since childhood. He had experienced, among other things, the outrage over a joke by Rudi Carrell about Khomeini, the persecution of Salman Rushdie, and the deaths of more than a dozen acquaintances, friends, and colleagues at the hands of Islamist extremists. He had also found statements that praised Hitler or Osama bin Laden to be profoundly unbearable. Since October 7, 2023, he has observed that Hamas terrorists are celebrated in Germany as well. In Berlin-Neukölln, people distributed candies after the massacre. Kazim also criticized the fact that some young people appeared with keffiyehs and pro-Palestinian slogans without understanding their political and historical significance. He wrote that Hamas fighters and bin Laden are portrayed on TikTok as representatives of the oppressed or as opponents of capitalism. At the same time, Kazim warned of extremists demanding mass "remigration" and threatening people who appeared foreign or Muslim to them. He accused the political center of not rejecting Islamism and the glorification of terror decisively enough and of ceding the political space to others. He did not want to live in a society where extremists set the tone, nor in one where Sharia law prevailed and religious authorities dictated people's lives. Kazim also referred to the vulnerability of people who could be identified as Jewish, as well as the need for protection for restaurants, kindergartens, schools, places of worship, and diplomatic missions. This was neither resistance nor criticism of the Israeli government, he wrote. In conclusion, he commemorated the victims of October 7, wished healing and peace for the injured, and called for the defeat of the terrorists. #Terrorismus #Extremismus #Frieden (translated)
