The most dangerous moment of German soldiers


of Lisa's world


In January, the police stormed the apartment of a 25-year student and his girlfriend in Duisburg and removed under the howling of several thousand anti-Israel demonstrators and two on the balcony of a window mounted Israel flags. A few days ago a 30-year student in Bochum, was sentenced to pay a fine because, by showing an Israeli flag on the participants in an anti-Israel demonstration "provoked" a "dangerous situation" created and is said to have violated the Assembly Act. Now there is a recent low point: Last Saturday, the police prohibited the participants of a rally against the "Al-Quds-demonstration by Islamists and neo-Nazis among others showing a flag with a Hebrew inscription as well as playing "Reduce the danger of escalation", a police spokesman said - Israeli music.

Islamist organizations mobilize every year since 1979 to the end of the fasting month of Ramadan around the world to "Al-Quds" activities. They refer to a call by the then Iranian "Supreme Leader" Ayatollah Khomeini, who had urged his followers to "liberate" Jerusalem and the destruction of Israel. In Berlin it is since 1996, "Al-Quds" demonstrations that are running openly called for the "destruction of the Zionist state" and anti-Semitic slogans are chanted. At this year's manifestation in the German capital had called in addition to various Islamist groups, the neo-Nazi "German People's Union (DVU). The predominantly Muslim participants chanted slogans like "Death to Israel" and "child killers Israel and Hezbollah flags of the anti-Semitic and showed portraits of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

For several years, coalitions of Jewish and non Jewish organizations against these anti-Semitic elevators at the Al-Quds Day "is active. This time, however, they were subjected to severe restrictions: Your demonstration was held in an enclosed area with bars, the foreman Arvid on the web portal Free Iran Now! as "a kind of rabbit hutch" described. The participants were also meticulous and sometimes rabid checks of their bags and backpacks have been exposed. And that's not all: According to various reports, the police refused a participant to show a Jerusalem-flag, on which the name of the Israeli capital was embroidered in Hebrew letters. Also were no songs in Hebrew and English texts are played, her CD had prepared the organizers of the rally so pack up again. Further we were a banner of the BAK Shalom, where called for in the English language, the decline of the Iranian Mullah regime are used. And from a poster on which called for the release of the captured Israeli soldiers by Hamas Gilad Shalit was, had to be removed at the behest of forces two English sentences.

Thomas Neuendorf, a spokesman for the Berlin police, confirmed the action of the officials on telephone request of Liza's world. "In recent years, the Al-Quds Day 'on both sides led to an increased emotional appeal," he said. They had "to contain the escalating danger" and was therefore do both with the leaders of "Al-Quds-demonstration and the organizers of the counter-rally in cooperation talks agreed," that there should be speeches, banners and music in the German language. " In this way, have you want to stop "on both sides," "that illegal content is distributed, we do not understand." Only two exceptions were allowed: to have the "Al-Quds-demonstration to an Imam reciting Koran verses," said one interpreter is asked of us care that he says nothing forbidden. " The counter demonstration was approved for it to play the Israeli national anthem in Hebrew. The "Death to Israel" - and "child killers Israel" Call, the Hezbollah flags and portraits of Nasrallah said Neuendorf, "There are hands are tied. The slogans are still just the right cover to free speech, and Hezbollah in Germany is now not even prohibited"
The Berlin police thus represents an anti-Israel, anti-Semitic rally in the same level and the democratic protest, they recorded both in the simple category of "enhanced emotional appeal" and placed under those who put up against Israel and Jewish hatred for the military, in fact the same escalating need, yes, the same fanaticism as the Israel-and Jew-haters. Such strange equidistance in this country but not atypical in the new German Post-war history should be, however, that compared to the participants of a rally, a Hebrew and English ban is pronounced. It could police spokesman Neuendorf call on demand any examples of Hebrew Israeli slogans or songs, which was called in the past to crime. However, he could not say when a demonstration against anti-Semitism and for Israel to ever be considered violence against Islamists, as she was complaining the other way around many times before. should have accepted

fact that those responsible for the counter demonstration during the preliminary meeting with the police allegedly proclaimed German bid actually appears In addition, at least doubtful. To our request of Liza's world of the applicant and leader of the rally, Jörg Fischer-Aharon contradicted by the education work haKadima, then decided: "The Hebrew and English ban was communicated verbally until shortly before the start of the event," he said. During the conversation, cooperation around three weeks, the police had only asked in passing whether contributions are being planned in Hebrew. "I'm negative, then the issue was settled," said Fischer-Aharon. In a phone call from one and a half weeks he had the police as a precaution but announced that during the rally against Israeli und englische Musik gespielt werden soll – wie schon, gänzlich unbeanstandet, während einer pro-israelischen Demonstration in Berlin im Januar. „Das sei auch diesmal kein Problem, bekam ich zur Antwort; man werde aber für alle Fälle einen Dolmetscher vorbeischicken.“ Von den plötzlichen Auflagen sei man deshalb vollkommen überrumpelt worden. „Wären sie vorher schon festgelegt worden, hätten wir mit Sicherheit Rechtsmittel dagegen eingelegt. Aber ich habe bis heute nichts Schriftliches von der Polizei bekommen. Das öffnet der Willkür natürlich Tür und Tor.“

Fischer-Aharon ist immer noch empört über das Vorgehen der Ordnungshüter: „Das ist ein historic day, but a sad one. The Berlin police banned actually showing the Jerusalem flag and the playing Jewish music, "The Mission Control have even threatened to" seize the sound system, should even a song in Hebrew will be played. " The Islamists against it was much more cautious: "There were not just slogans are called in Arabic, but it was even a demo folder the Nazi salute in our direction show [photo above], but that would have interfered in the vicinity of standing police . Strange finds Fischer-Aharon, the detention of a participant in the counter-rally due to a alleged violations of the Vermummungsverbot: "She had a hood on his head and wore sunglasses. That was probably too much for the police. For the Islamists, however, women could run along in a burqa, without the being disputed. "Furthermore, had several people had been refused without giving a reason to participate in the counter-rally, and Alexander Brenner, the former chairman of the Jewish community in Berlin, and the rabbi Ben Chorim have prevented the police from leaving the event. "Obviously," Fischer-Aharon, the grids were not the barrier, but the imprisonment of demonstrators.

May the Chancellor also emphasize the solidarity with Israel is a "part of the German raison d'etat," like the federal specifically deal with a anti-Semitism Commission, and like politicians protest of all parties to them is to fight the Jews hate affair of the heart: this is nothing but Wortgeklimper if the enemies of the Jews in general and the Jewish state in particular, get free travel, active opponent of Israel and hatred of the Jews but are harassed by police and legal means. provide 64 years after Auschwitz in the successor state of the "Third Reich" the heirs of the company and Himmler Freisler that only so no anti-Semite of Jewish symbols, Hebrew letters and Israeli songs provoked must feel, while retaining anti-Semitic marches unopposed despite unequivocal threats of annihilation towards Israel and clearly anti-Jewish slogans when they are in the media do not act as a "peace demonstrations", as happened earlier this year. But all this is good in Germany is not a scandal. For the biggest scandal is that there is none, because this kind upset anyone other than the usual suspects.
