Esther Schapira says, IDF needs to fight back, with all consequences that entails
Journalist | Social Media Post
Hezbollah apparently planned 7/10 reloaded – I can already hear the comments if it had come to that: context! Israel has only itself to blame. Without responsibility from the world, the IDF has no choice but to defend itself – with all the consequences that entails!
Harry Bergmann demands not to recognize Palestine
Private Person | Social Media Post
Palestine: apart from the fact that one cannot recognize something that does not exist (one can wish for it, one can demand it), when has a state ever been recognized that has taken more than 200 hostages from another—actually existing—state and that has enshrined the annihilation of that other state in its “constitution”? There is nothing more absurd that is currently permitted on the world stage.
Kolja Podkowik sees antisemitic tendencies in the international music scene
Public Person | Newspaper
The international music scene is an anti-Semitic shithole. In everyday language, there is no longer any difference between Zionism and fascism, and adolescent pop music fans are now growing up with this as a matter of course. At best useful idiots, probably just malicious, they flood social media with Hamas propaganda, just like their role models. Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism – there is actually no difference here. It is questionable whether Pali-scarves [kufiyas] were ever worn as apolitical fashion accessories, but since October 7, 2023, they have clearly stood for support of the murder of Jews
No genocid in Gaza
Politician | Social Media Post
When it comes to Israel, many people seem to lose all sense of proportion. Words such as genocide, apartheid, and colonialism are used without restraint—by people who consider themselves morally superior, but who in reality want to undermine the foundations of the only Jewish state. It is time to take a firm stand against this. Genocide? A perfidious misrepresentation.
Vandalizing production facilities of Elbit systems reminds Martin Rivoir of antisemitic riots in Nazi-Germany
Politician | Social Media Post
Solidarity visit to the Elbit factory in Ulm. Together with the dean of Ulmer Münster, Dr. Thorsten Krannich, I visited the Elbit factory in Ulm, whose production facilities were vandalized by violent offenders. Their violent actions are reminiscent of the worst anti-Semitic riots in German history—we condemn this.
Andreas Schwarz condems suspension of Germanys arms deliveries to Israel
Politician | Social Media Post
For Hamas, this German decision is likely to be more than just a small political success. I believe it is wrong to partially suspend arms deliveries to Israel. This decision carries the risk that Germany will contribute to Israel's political isolation in this brutal conflict. The central message in this world must always be: terror does not pay and will be fought with strength and severity. At the same time, however, urgent and rapid solutions must be found to improve the humanitarian situation. All people need access to food and medicine.
Elbit Systems Germany lobbies in the German Bundestag
Organization | Social Media Post
Here are a few impressions from last week in Berlin: Our managing director Marian Rachow visited the German Bundestag and met with Anne Janssen MdB [member of the German parliament] and Andreas Schwarz MdB, among others. The discussions with the members of parliament were constructive, and we would like to thank them for the open and intensive exchange. We are confident that these meetings will lay the foundation for future cooperation.
Defamation of human rights organizations
Public Person | Social Media Post
After watching this program, it becomes clear why “human rights organizations” such as @msf_de [Ärzte ohne Grenzen] are not helping the Israeli hostages. They are helping Hamas, at least with propaganda. This psychologist refuses to acknowledge that there are Hamas tunnels under Shifa Hospital.
German columnist Jan Fleischauer demands cutting Germanys financial support for the UNWRA
Journalist | Social Media Post
It's quite simple: Either @BMZ_Bund and @Auswaeriges Amt ensure that not a single cent goes to the Hamas front organization called @UNWRA. Ever again. Or, unfortunately, @ABaerbock and @SvenjaSchulze68 must be accused of aiding and abetting terrorist financing. Those are the facts.
Palestinians are fully responsible for their own suffering
Public Person | Social Media Post
The media usually reports on the suffering of the Palestinians and stirs up sentiment against Israel. But the Palestinians themselves are to blame for all the suffering. THEY started the war! THEY cheered, bragged, raped, and murdered! And THEY are holding Naama Levy and 133 other hostages.
Pressestatement des Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz am 13.10.2025 in Scharm el Scheich
Politician | Social Media Post
Der deutsche Bundeskanzler, Friedrich Merz, bekräftigt, dass die Bundesreplublik Deutschland jetzt und für alle Zeit an der Seite Israels steht. Er spricht seine Erleichterung darüber aus, dass die letzten 20 überlebenden Geiseln, unter denen sich auch vier Deutsche befinden, freigelassen wurden. In diesem Kontext erklärt er: "Wir sind nach wie vor in Gedanken an der Seite der Opfer. Viele sind noch nicht aus dem Gazastreifen geborgen worden". Die Versicherung, dass die Bundesregierung gedanklich an der Seite der israelischen Opfer des Angriffes vom 7. Oktober 2023 speziell der Geiseln stehe, steht im starken Kontrast zu seinen Äußerungen bzw. Nichtäußerung über Opfer aus Gaza. Eine spezifische Benennung der palästinensischen Opfer aus Gaza findet nicht statt. In seinem Pressestatement kommen die Worte Palästina oder Palästinenser überhaupt nicht vor. Er sichert lediglich "den Menschen, die dort immer noch leben" medizinische Hilfe und ein Dach über dem Kopf zu. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland käme damit ihren humanitären Verpflichtungen nach. Ansonsten tauchen die zehntausenden Toten und noch mehr Verwundeten Palästinenser aus dem Gazastreifen lediglich als "viele unschuldige Menschenopfer" auf, sind also hier lediglich mitgemeint. Das gesamte Statement des Bundeskanzlers im Wortlaut kann hier eingesehen werden: https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-de/aktuelles/statement-aegypten-2388816
Is the accusation of genocid only a projection?
Organization | Other
In the context of October 7, blame reversal most often takes the form of accusations of genocide. Instead of directing these accusations at Hamas, whose atrocities bear eliminatory and genocidal traits, the intention and execution of genocide is projected onto Israel and its military actions in Gaza. References to the suffering of the Palestinian population often serve as a pretext for seemingly legitimate, but essentially anti-Semitic “criticism.” The actual cause, Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel, has been and continues to be ignored. Even in parts of the media and politics, it is rarely mentioned that Hamas abuses civilians in Gaza as human shields and therefore bears responsibility for civilian casualties.
Public assembly forbidden by the Austrian police
Organization | Other
Graz (OTS) - On October 12, 2023, a notice of assembly entitled “Current developments in Israel/Palestine based on fundamental solidarity with the severely oppressed Palestinian people” was received by the LPD Styria as the local security authority for Graz. As required by law, every notified assembly is subject to individual review by the local security authority (Einzelfallprüfung). Such a review has now determined that the assembly notified for October 14, 2023, in Graz must be prohibited. The reason for this is the expected threat to public order and safety.
