Wow… the one millionst journalist telling the same lie and pretending that support for Palestinian citizens is support of Hamas terrorism.
When some of the loudest voices criticising the brain-dead support of Israel’s government above all else actually come from jewish communities in Germany as they are the ones that are not so easily branded as antisemites for not cheering for the slaughter of civilians.
PS: And a nice touch to pepper a report about antisemitic opinions with pictures from a demonstration in Berlin that was entirely peaceful and without any antisemitic messaging (the police arrested maybe a handfull of people in total and confiscated some banners early on… out of ten thousands of people).
Also jewish people have been banned from demonstrating in Berlin and a jewish women was arrested by the police for demonstrating for peace in the middle east.
So part of the jewish population actually gets their rights denied and threatened by the police, in the name of fighting antisemitism.
Genuinely asking, what do you think is the reason behind all those journalists “lying to us” on this matter? Is it their own motivation or do you think someone tells them to lie? If so, who? Or are they being paid to do it? If so, by whom?
Probably a mix (and being well trained by the massive backlash in their industry to every criticism of Israel for years and decades) but I seriously don’t care anymore. They should be doing their actual job to inform. When did we forget that media and an informed population is one of the pillars of a working democracy?
So a mix of their own motivation and likely support of Israel, being told, of being paid, and being pressured by backlash if they report contrary opinions, or as you said, tell us lies.
But by whom then? Who’s behind this? Israel? Pro -Israel thinktanks? Someone else? All of them? Sorry, please don’t take this in a bad way, but I find it hard to believe that you don’t care enough to never have thought about it.
Edit: added something
The Jews should not be affraid.
Israel should.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Aaron doesn’t feel comfortable showing items traditionally worn by Jewish men in public, either his kippah or his tzitzit, the tassels of his prayer shawl.
For Germany, incidents such as two petrol bombs being thrown towards a Berlin synagogue in October spark acute anxiety due to the nation’s Nazi past.
Israel’s security is a fundamental cornerstone of German foreign policy with the former chancellor, Angela Merkel, declaring it to be a Staatsräson - reason of state - in 2008.
In a widely viewed video message, Germany’s vice-chancellor, Robert Habeck, said that criticism of Israel is “of course allowed” but its right to exist must not be “relativised”.
The authorities are investigating reports that black and white banners, which are used by jihadist groups and feature the Islamic statement of faith, were flown at a march in the city of Essen.
“It is problematic when it turns into antisemitic and anti-Israel hate where people shout ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free’ - which would deny Israel’s right to exist.”
