The ruling mayor of Berlin, Kai Wegner, was a guest on Tuesday evening on the ZDF program of Markus Lanz to talk about the Middle East conflict. Moderator Lanz confronted Wegner with a quote from author Ahmad Mansour, which says that hatred is also present in German classrooms. Wegner expressed his concern that this hatred was carried into schools and the streets. He also thanked the Berlin police for their commitment at Potsdamer Platz, where there were riots on a Palestinian demo. Wegner emphasized that it shouldn't happen that Jews live in Berlin. He also defended the police against the accusation of not being better prepared and explained that it was working at the load limit.

According to a report by www.berliner-zeitung.de, Wegner also expressed that several criminal proceedings were initiated in Berlin for anti-Semitic acts. He emphasized that people who are convicted of sedition should also go to prison, even if they have no criminal records. If possible, Wegner also wants to deport people who commit such crimes. Anna Staroselski, spokeswoman for the German-Jewish association "value initiative", brought the topic of education into play and criticized that Jewish students in Berlin would leave schools for fear of hate. Journalist Amann criticized politics and explained that teachers had no concept to explain the Middle East conflict to the children. Wegner admitted that it was looked away for too long and was not talked about it. He reported incidents at Berlin schools, in which "you Jew!" as a dirty word was used and Israel was scratched away by cards. Wegner found that these incidents had no consequences and therefore it was not so much a matter of educational standard. He emphasized that he also suffered from the children in Gaza, but those responsible are the Hamas.

Finally, Lanz Wegner asked

to renew his promise not to further finance radical Muslim groups in Berlin. Wegner assured that all of these groups are searched and those who sow hatred will no longer receive funding.

It is important that Berlin as the capital of Germany and culturally diverse city protects its Jewish residents and enables them to live safe. Anti -Semitism in schools is a serious problem that needs to be tackled and fought. Prejudices and hatred can be reduced by better formation and sensitization of the students. It is crucial that the police take appropriate measures to ensure public security and keep protests peacefully. In addition, crimes have to be consistently pursued and punished in order to achieve a deterrent effect. Politics should also ensure that schools have appropriate concepts to explain the Middle East conflict to the students and to have discussions in a respectful and targeted framework. The financing of groups that stir up hate should be checked and, if necessary, to ensure that public funds are not used for extremist activities.

As reported www.berliner-zeitung.de, Kai Wegner promised to check all groups and ensure that those who sow hatred no longer receive funding. It remains to be seen how this process will take place and whether there is actually a discontinuation of the financing of radical Muslim groups. However, it is a step in the right direction to promote the fight against anti -Semitism and radicalization in Berlin.
