As is well known, the most repulsive euphemisation and trivialisation of the currently rampant anti-Semitism and hatred of Jews on German streets came from Andreas Geisel, Social Democratic Party (SPD) Senator for the Interior in the red-red-green shithole of Berlin, who described the aggressive rowdies and rioters as “experience-oriented” young men. Whoever has such senators in government must truly fear Islam – because, with so much state understanding and “sportsmanship”, they will be allowed to let it all hang out in the future.

After all, the “hunger for experience” must be satisfied – and when words once again turn into deeds and “Jews slapping” once again becomes the new normal, then perhaps Geisel can explain when enough has been “experienced” or what is still allowed to go. 93 police officers, whose employer is Geisel, were injured by the hatemongers on Sonnenallee in the district of Neukölln alone, 65 people were temporarily arrested – because Geisel in this case, in contrast to previous Anti-Corona demonstrations, looked away and did not want to take any “disproportionate” measures – such as bans on gatherings or water cannons.

And logically, of course, this super-hypocrite with an active GDR and Socialist Unity Party (SED) past has no problem with broken rules of distance and masking. He criminalises some for demonstrating for basic rights, questioning the appropriateness of dictatorial restrictions on freedom in the name of a hyped-up “pandemic” or merely reciting the Basic Law in public, and lets his officials crack down with “White Russian” severity. While others, as the newspaper Bild resignedly states, are allowed to loudly chant “Bomb Tel Aviv” and “Shit Jews”, throw stones at synagogues and police officers and threaten journalists – and the Senator of the Interior declares them, with a wink, to be “experience-oriented” young Arab people.

For once, even the prominent union officials of the two rival police unions, which belong to different political camps, were in agreement this time: Rainer Wendt of the German Police Union could only shake his head about Geisel – and declared: “This is the usual trivialisation of an unteachable interior senator”. His counterpart Jörg Radek of the police union found similarly critical words for Geisel: “Such excuses trivialise the violence in view of the many injured.” It remains the case what the online portal Jouwatch already demanded yesterday: This interior senator must resign immediately; even for a state-sabotaging and scandalous government like the one of Berlin, such a person cannot be tolerated one day longer. Maybe Geisel will apply for a job as head of security in Gaza – there, even more “experiences” are guaranteed.

Berlin als “Erlebnispark” für Judenhasser: SPD-Geisel gerät zunehmend unter Druck

Armin Laschet ( Christian Democratic Union, CDU), Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia and candidate for chancellor of the CDU/CSU, has called for the flag of the Islamist Hamas to be banned in Germany. “We have banned the flag of the PKK because it is a terrorist organisation,” he said in a parliamentary question time on recent anti-Semitic riots. “The Hamas flag has not been banned until today.”

“Therefore, this flag, which stands for terrorism, must also be banned. It must not be displayed on German streets,” said the CDU federal leader. A law change is now necessary, he said.

Laschet accused Hamas of making many people living peacefully in the Gaza Strip “hostages for its terrorist activities”. At the same time, Hamas was harming the Palestinian Authority.

Last week, there had been anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli riots in several cities in Germany and also in North Rhine-Westphalia, including Gelsenkirchen, Solingen, Düsseldorf, Münster and Bonn. The trigger is the escalation of the conflict between Palestinians and Israel.

There is a reason why those who make use of these maps avoid examining their provenance or proving their accuracy: The maps are egregiously, almost childishly dishonest. But they have become so ubiquitous that it is worth taking the time to examine them, and what their dishonesty can teach us about the Palestinian cause and its supporters.

In whatever form they take, the “Land Loss” maps show very little variation. The standard version looks something like this:

Sometimes, a fifth map is added, this one dated 1920, showing the entirety of what was once British Mandatory Palestine in a single solid color, labeled “Palestinian.” This accomplishes the seemingly impossible and makes the series of maps even more dishonest than before.

Whether made up of four or five maps, the message of the series is clear: The Jews of Palestine have been assiduously gobbling up more and more “Palestinian land,” spreading like some sort of fungal infection that eventually devours its host.

There are some outright lies in these maps, to be sure. But the most egregious falsehoods transcend mere lies. They emerge from a more general and quite deliberate refusal to differentiate between private property and sovereign land, as well as a total erasure of any political context.

This final point is especially crucial. It goes to the question of whether the Palestinians actually “lost” this land and the context of that alleged “loss.” We could quite easily, for example, make a panel of maps showing German “land loss” in the first half of the 20th century. It would be geographically accurate but, without the political context, it would tell a completely misleading story amounting to a flat-out lie. And that is precisely what these maps are: A lie.

Taking each map in turn, it is easy to demonstrate that the first one is by far the most dishonest of the lot. As far as I have been able to determine, it is based on a map of Jewish National Fund (JNF) land purchases dating roughly from the 1920s. The JNF was founded to purchase land for Jewish residents and immigrants in then-Palestine, and was partly funded through charity boxes that were once found in almost every Jewish school and organization in the West. Ironically, this map often adorned those ubiquitous boxes.

The German government has announced a ban on the Salafist-Islamic association Ansaar International after accusing the purported aid organization of using donations to finance terrorist groups across the world.  

Germany’s Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU) announced the ban earlier this month on the same day that authorities across ten federal states carried out raids against people and properties associated with the Islamic organization and its various offshoots, German newspaper Die Welt reports.

“To fight terror, one must dry up its sources of money,” said Seehofer.

According to a statement released by the interior ministry, around 1,000 police officers took part in the operation which saw evidence — including €150,000 euros in cash — seized across various locations in Rhineland-Palatinate, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg, Hamburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and Hesse German.

Alongside Ansaar International, the German government also banned groups linked to the Dusseldorf-based NGO, such as the Somali Committee for Information and Advice, the Änis Ben-Hatira Foundation, the Frauenrechte ANS Justice eV association, Umma Shop and Helpstore Secondhand UG, and Better World Appeal.

Seehoer said that these groups “spread a Salafist world view and finance terror around the world under the guise of humanitarian aid.”

Up until its recent ban, Ansaar International operated under the pretense of supporting various humanitarian projects for Muslims around the world. On its website, the Salafist NGO claims to provide humanitarian aid to individuals impacted by war and other crises by building and funding the construction of orphanages, schools, and medical centers. The organization is said to have collected €8 million to €10 million in donations in 2018.

Germany’s Interior Ministry insists, however, that the funds raised by Ansaar International are done so with the intention of funding foreign terrorist groups like the Palestinian Hamas, as well as the Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab and Jabhat al-Nusra, located in Somalia and Syria, respectively.

“Financial support, even for what at first glance appear to be charitable activities, secures the terrorist groups’ power and dominance in the respective region, facilitates the recruitment of activists, and saves the terrorist group money, which in turn can be used to carry out the crimes it plans,” the interior ministry said.

“The network finances terrorism worldwide with its donations,” Seehofer’s spokesman Steven Alter wrote on social media.

The ministry, which insists that the banned organizations are “enemies of a world order that protects the human dignity of people of different faiths are created continuously”, also believes the organizations are working to send children from Germany abroad to help “internalize Salafist-extremist content there and to bring it back to Germany”.

Joachim Herrmann, the interior minister for the federal state of Bavaria, also commented on the bans and raids, saying: “This is a serious blow against terrorist financing and Salafist missionary work in Germany.”

The actions taken by German authorities this month come after the Düsseldorf Prosecutor General’s Office first began investigating the Salafist NGO in April of this year. That month, police searched the apartments of three individuals, aged between 32 and 40, including a Düsseldorf-based lawyer, who are suspected of financing terrorism.

Unknown perpetrators have spray-painted Islamist slogans on two central monuments in Graz. Both the Landhaus, the seat of the Styrian parliament, and the St Mary’s Statue were spray-painted with the words “Allah-Akbar”.

“Graz has long had the reputation of being the centre of Austrian Islamism. Half of all mosques in Graz are classified as radical by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The acts of vandalism at two symbolic places in the centre of Graz are the consequences of years of denying the problem. For years, the Freedom Party has been demanding that the problem finally to be tackled at its roots. Islamist structures must be consistently dismantled in Austria and immigration from Islamic countries reduced to an absolute minimum,” said Graz Deputy Mayor and Freedom Party chairman Mario Eustacchio.

“The closure of Islamist mosques in Graz that was announced by the Minister of the Interior after the terrorist attack in Vienna has not happened yet. The warnings of the security authorities must finally be taken seriously! There must be an end to further ignoring the justified cries for help by the authorities. The increasingly self-confident appearance of Islamists in public spaces must finally be stopped,” concluded Eustacchio.

A Facebook post about imported anti-Semitism by Muslim immigrants has caused controversy in the Left Party in Lower Saxony. “To present anti-Semitism as an imported product in a country from which the Holocaust originated is oblivious to history, a trivialisation of hatred against Jews as well as a serious attack on people of the Muslim faith. This position is in no way covered by our party programme,” the state association commented on the post made on the social network.

The comment, signed by state chairpersons Heidi Reichinnek, Lars Leopold and their deputy Thorben Peters, also included an apology “to all Muslim and Jewish people”.

Previously, the Osnabrück-Land district branch of the Left Party had complained on Facebook on Monday that immigration from Islamic countries had also imported anti-Semitism. “As we see during the current Middle East conflict, we have done too little in Germany to fight radical Islam and anti-Semitism brought with it.” The association called for an honest discussion about the fact that anti-Semitism had been imported.

Germany must do everything to ensure that Jewish life is safe here. “Immigrants who do not accept this have no place here and must leave,” the article continues. Otherwise, conditions like those in the Paris suburbs could arise.

In the comments, supporters of the Left Party sharply attacked the district association and accused it of racism. Among other things, they said: “This post is wrong and racist. Since when does one fight anti-Semitism with deportations?”

Last weekend, anti-Israel rallies took place in various German cities due to the escalating Middle East conflict. Most of the demonstrators were of Arab origin and chanted anti-Semitic slogans. Berlin’s Senator of the Interior Sebastian Geisel ( Social Democratic Party, SPD) called the demonstrators “experience-oriented youths” and was met with fierce opposition.

The Green Youth has called for children to be able to vote in elections in the future. “Voting is a basic democratic right. This must apply to all people. Democracy means that you have a say in your own living conditions. We believe that it is wrong to legally deny a certain group this across the board,” said the spokesman for the Green Youth, Georg Kurz.

The Green offspring therefore strives to ensure that under 16s are also allowed to vote reported German magazine Spiegel Online. “The limit of 16 years is also set completely arbitrarily,” complained Kurz. “I know so many committed, politically educated people who are not yet 16 years old. And they are categorically excluded from the election.” He added: “Anyone who registers independently to vote can vote too.”

Kurz was bothered by the fact that the group of over 60 year olds in the country currently had significantly more votes than those under 30 year olds. “That is a blatant imbalance.”

The Greens chairman Robert Habeck had already spoken out in favour of lowering the voting age. In May 2020, he advocated voting rights from the age of 16. The same party is unironically opposed to child labour.

In the past few years, the Green Youth has caused a stir with their demands, including decriminalizing paedophilia. Last August, for example, they demanded comprehensive police reform because of “blatant abuses” in the security forces. According to them, officials should be monitored more closely in the future and no pepper spray should be used. Around a year ago, the Green Youth expressed solidarity with the left-wing extremist Antifa.

The Green Youth has meanwhile admitted to some mistakes in creating an advertising poster. In choosing the aesthetics, the necessary sensitivity had been lacking, admitted a spokesman for the Green Youth recently. Or perhaps they gave away too many clues about their origins.

The stumbling block was two illustrations that the Green Youth used for their spring congress, which took place at the end of April. One shows a dark-skinned man and a light-skinned woman next to a red flag with their gaze fixed on Utopia in true Soviet style. Above the slogan reads: “Many Struggles – One Fight”. The Green Youth of Freiburg was responsible for the motif.

In another picture, which was also published on the website of the Federal Association of the Green Youth, a woman and a man hold up their arms and grab a flagpole with a red flag. Here, too, the man is dark-skinned.

The choice of pictures of the Green Party offspring had caused outrage on social media. The main point of criticism was that the pictures were reminiscent of propaganda motifs from the Soviet era.

German tabloid Bild also took up the case with the headline “Green youth advertises with Lenin propaganda”. In both advertising posters, the Green Youth used two propaganda posters from the “All-Soviet Lenin Communist Youth Association – Komsomol,” the paper highlighted. Komsomol was the youth organization of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

The spokesman for the Green Youth replied to the newspaper that they did not know that these were motives of the communist youth of the Soviet Union. “We only became aware through your email that the said organization had used a similar motive 90 years ago,” they said in response to the allegations.

The Greens named an Adobe Stock collection as the source for the images. There these pictures are offered in a “Revolution Promoting Set”. In fact, some of the motifs, including the two chosen by the Green Youth, are pure unadulterated communist propaganda.

In the end, however, one question remained unanswered. Why did the Green Youth colour the man black in both pictures black? In the original from the Adobe Stock collection he is light-skinned. The spokesman for the Green Youth did not comment on this.

The posters are not the only hints as to the origins of the Greens. They have been involved in some very shady activities throughout their existence. Some 40 years ago, on May 11, 1981, the FDP politician Heinz Herbert Karry was murdered in his sleep. The investigation into this bloody act led directly to the Greens: Green party heavyweight Joschka Fischer’s private car had been used to transport the murder weapon.

And Brigitte Heinrich, EU member of the Greens and also working for the state security of the GDR, told her Stasi superiors in East Berlin, that she knew who the murderers were: People from her party.

Officially, communist, “left-wing extremist” and “revolutionary cells” admitted to the murder of Heinz Herbert Karry.

This current concealment of the violent and communist origins of the Greens linking it not only to the support groups of the Red Army Faction (RAF), but also to the notorious independent Maoist Communist League of West Germany (KBW), obfuscate the fact that the leading cadres of these groups were accepted by the Greens soon after the party was founded. Leading politicians of the Greens such as today’s Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg, Winfried Kretschmann, or Reinhard Bütikofer, EU Member of the Greens, were active in these Maoist associations at the time, cheering on the Cambodian mass murderer Pol Pot.

This happens to be the same party that mercilessly judges its opponents morally. The Greens themselves are dead silent about their past and their former glorification of the RAF, Pol Pot and other revolutionary murderous gangs. Instead, they project an image of honest environmentalists who do not murder people in their sleep.
