Berlin: Thousands of anti-Israel demo-politicians are silent. What does the Senate do about hate? Article by Stefan Kost

Berlin is no longer a defensive capital that fights for the values ​​of the peaceful Berliners. This is the bitter knowledge that many Berliners currently have. According to a comment by Stefan Kost, a member of the B.Z. chief department, hate demos are repeatedly held in Berlin, in which the annihilation of Israel is required. The police are overloaded and cannot provide every Hamas supporter. Many Berliners wonder what the Senate is doing to stop this madness.

Some politicians, such as Federal Minister Cem Özdemir, make a clear position against hatred and agitation. But others, like the ruling Kai Wegner, do not even comment on the hate demos in front of their official residence. The Berlin SPD leader Raed Saleh and the Kreuzberg Greens also seem to have shown on this topic. This shows that Berlin is no longer the defensive capital that fights for the values ​​of peaceful Berliners.

The effects of these hate demos are worrying. They create an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty in the city. The Jewish community in Berlin feels threatened and unsure. This has negative effects on living together and cohesion in the city.

In order to stop this development, the Senate and the political parties in Berlin have to take a clear position against hatred and agitation. You should show solidarity with the Jewish community and take measures to ensure its security. This is the only way to regain his role as a cosmopolitan and tolerant city.
