During the performance of the singer Anna Loos (1.34,40 ), slogans and pictures were projected which had any connection to protest movements: Refugee helpers in a boat, protesters against violence. One of the slogans was in Hebrew. Translated it said ” Stop the occupation” or “Enough with the occupation”. A Nazi salute to Israel. The Germans do not want to be denied the right to criticize Israel at the celebration of the end of the GDR dictatorship.

The Lord Mayor of Tübingen, Boris Palmer, comments on this dreadful incident:

“A few hundred meters away from the Synagogue Memorial in Tübingen, shortly before the Memorial day on the 9th of November and a few weeks after the attack in Halle, people in Tübingen spray “FCK ISRL” onto the street. We removed it within 24 hours. I am still bewildered that such a thing is possible in Tübingen. Including the Antifa sign. Just like a year ago the suggestion to burn policemen and a few weeks ago the desire to burn Amazon. What do these people have in mind? ”

The tabloid BILD reports: 

After a bloody dispute with a cyclist, parcel carrier Florent R. has to answer in court for attempted murder. The 21-year-old is accused of having hit the cyclist from behind with his car in Weil der Stadt (Böblingen district) in mid-May. Afterwards he got out of the car and stabbed the injured person several times with a knife. At the start of the trial on Thursday before the regional court in Stuttgart, only the indictment was read out. The accused Kosovar did not make a statement. The accused is said to have got angry at a red traffic light because of the cyclist’s criticism of his driving style. In the subsequent attack, he had endangered his victim’s life. Witnesses claim to have heard the parcel carrier shouting phrases like “I’ll stab you to death” or “I’ll kill you.” According to the prosecution, he did not let go of the injured person until a witness intervened and loudly demanded that he put the knife away.Thereafter, the 21-year-old is said to have added, among other things, “He may die, I do not care” and “You shall perish now”. A judgement is not expected before mid-December.

Every week, up to eleven people report to the Center for Forced Marriage. One in three is still a minor. “There are more than ever,” says Anu Sivaganesan, 32, chairman of the Department of Forced Marriage. In 2018, the department looked after 119 cases of minority marriages. Most of those affected are Kurds from Iraq and Syria or they come from Turkey, Afghanistan or Somalia.”The main reason for this is the cult of the virginity of women,” said the chairman of the Center of Forced Marriage.In Switzerland, families fear that their daughters may have sex before marriage. Because here you do not have to live separately according to the sex. “In order to protect the family’s honor, the daughter is then forced to marry or engage abroad as a minor,” said the chairman.Two young women who were married as girls and live in Switzerland are Samira (19 y.o) and Nesrin (17 y.o). So that they can not be identified, their names and countries of origin have been changed. These are their stories.

SAMIRA

Samira is Swiss and born here, her parents are from Syria. She was 15 when she was married by telephone to her husband in Syria. A year later, following pressure from her family, the ritual marriage abroad followed.Last year, Samira became 18 years old.When the child reaches the age of majority, the child marriage became legally binding in Switzerland. When the young woman realized this, she tried to commit suicide: “I swallowed my father’s tablets. But I survived.With the recognised marriage, her husband, who still lives in Syria, has received the right to family reunification. He also wants to use this entitlement: He will enter Switzerland in the coming days. A disaster in the eyes of Samira: “Why does Switzerland recognise my child marriage? I don’t want to be married! The 19-year-old is now desperately trying to prevent her husband from entering the country with the help of the Forced Marriage Unit. 
However, the chances are limited: If Samira does not succeed in discouraging her husband from his plans, she has no choice but to quit her job. 
Without financial security, he would lose his right to family reunification. Unfortunately, there is no possibility of obtaining an entry ban for her husband, whom she did not marry of her own free will.
But what if the entry cannot be prevented and Samira at least wants to prevent living together? Samira would still have the option of going underground and continuing to live under a new identity with the help of the Department of Forced Marriage. But that would also be a break with the whole family.

NESRIN

Nesrin was 14 years old when she was married in Iraq. At the age of 16 she came to Switzerland and received asylum. The asylum authorities learned of the child marriage and referred the case to the court. The court was to decide whether the continuation of the marriage corresponded to Nesrin’s ” overwhelming interests “. Specifically, if Nesrin were pregnant or if she confirmed her love for her
husband to the Swiss authorities and the family, the marriage is likely to persist.
There is no age limit by law. Both are not applicable to Nesrin. Nevertheless, her child marriage was not annulled. The reason: To date, the court had no time to handle their case. The result: The marriage becomes final in one month. Because then Nesrin will be 18 years old. Even a “normal” divorce would not provide a quick solution. Because her spouse would challenge this and thus delay the divorce by at least two years.
How can it be that Switzerland recognizes marriages without first examining them? Child marriage is not regarded as forced marriage in Switzerland and is therefore not prohibited. But the review of such cases by means of balance of interests is in the criticism. Anu Sivaganesan: “The balancing of interests usually lasts until the person concerned comes of age and the marriage is automatically valid in Switzerland as well.” The Greens and the SVP now want to act. “Basically, it has to be assumed that marriages of under 16 years old are a forced marriage,” says SVP National Councilor Therese Schlapfer. A similar motion was submitted at the end of September. The Department of Forced Marriage, Center of Competence of the Federal Government, sees the same. The department proposes not to recognize marriages abroad before the age of 18 in Switzerland.

I got attacked in the gym for being Jewish.
Tonight, around 9:15 p.m. a guy sneaked up on me from behind, grabbed my head and tore down my Kippah! shouting “You dirty Jew!”and “Free Palestine” he spat on my Kippah and threw it in the garbage!
I was shocked! He looked at me and asked me “do you want me to beat you up? F*ck off you dirty jew!”. I was overwhelmed by this situation and (for whatever reason) I asked him “here, in front of everybody?”Somehow I was hoping someone in the changing room full of men would interfere…. I turned around. I looked everyone standing around in the eyes!!! No one reacted, everyone was just watching…
I literally was in fear of my life realizing that no one would help me but watch! Baruch HaShem an old man stood up and tried to calm the situation down.
The attacker just walked away like nothing happened! To the staff member trying to question him he said that nothing happened and even if sth happened no one can prove it!
The Police came and now the German State Security (Staatsschutz) is investigating on that.
Thank you Polizei Freiburg for taking this disgusting case of antisemitism seriously and helping me!Basically now some of you may ask why I am posting it online…
I really don’t want to attract unnecessary attention BUT I am sick of people thinking antisemitism is a one-off thing or even worse- people saying things like “so don’t wear the kippah, not to provoke”
I didn’t do anything to this guy except for being jewish!
I was born and raised in Germany and I kind of see myself as a part of this country and it’s people! Why can’t I be openly Jewish and go to the same gym as anyone else without fearing for my life?
In Freiburg the general perception of antisemitism is that it happens in the tv and in Berlin. that’s it…. the truth looks pretty different from that!
Finally, it is extremely important to raise this awareness because 80 years ago in the same country Jews were hazed and bullied publicly and we ALL know how this story ended!
I would love to see the people shouting less and less of the cliche “#neveragain” but to start acting! Don’t just remember the perished Jews once or twice a year but start acting! Rise up against antisemitism! Please help your fellows if you see sth like that or other kinds of antisemitism!!!

The crime seemed so senseless: On the night of November 6, Mohammed V. (54 years old) stabbed the student Sarah S. (24 years old) in an apartment building in the street Kurt-Schumacher-Straße in Hanover, who is his neighbor. She bled to death in the stairwell. Now the surprising turn: There is no charge against the native Iranian.V. is said to be incapable of guilt for having delusions. According to spokeswoman of the court, Irene Silinger, the public prosecutor’s office has applied to the jury court for a preventive detention with the aim of sending V. to a psychiatric hospital. The trial is to start on the 12th of April at the regional court, four days are scheduled for the trial.Sarah S., who studied special education and had been working in the Annastift hospital as a night watch for years, had often had arguments with the perpetrator.But the man had not complained about noise, said the traumatized caretaker of the apartment building. Looking back, however, there were signs that the Iranian was suffering from paranoia. He is said to have reported the student to the police about half a year before the crime: She had penetrated his apartment and had hidden drugs in his food. This seemed so absurd that no investigations were started. In addition, there are said to have been other anomalies.According to lawyer Matthias Waldraff, psychiatrist Tobias Bellin has come to the conclusion that the man suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. Waldraff legally represents the parents of the killed Sarah, who will be joint plaintiffs in the trial. How did they react to the news that the perpetrator is unlikely to be punished? Waldraff: “Both have told me that it is easier for them to deal with the crime than if they were dealing with a fully responsible person”.
