Welcome to #Berlin, the capital of #Zionist repression
https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/welcome-berlin-germany-capital-zionist-repression

On 28 March, the Zionist #German Jewish weekly Judische Allgemeine Zeitung happily announced that Tel Aviv would become Berlin's newest twin city, with all factions of the Berlin House of Representatives agreeing to the decision.

They do so even as large parts of the world are gradually distancing themselves from this regime.

Such a decision reflects common interests and values that supposedly bind the cities and their populations together.

And the ones on display in this partnership are telling: while one side commits #genocide, the other supports, promotes, and finances it; while one carries out ethnic cleansing, the other feigns ignorance; while one deliberately targets children, #journalists, and #medical personnel, the other looks away and prattles on about #HumanRights while one starves a people to death, the other merely shrugs.

On 21 April, #Germany will deport me – an #EU citizen convicted of no crime – for standing with #Palestine

"None of the charges have yet led to a court hearing, yet the #deportation letters conclude that we are a threat to public order and national security. There has been no legal process for this decision, and none of us have a criminal record. The reasoning in the letters continues with vague and unfounded accusations of “#antisemitism” and supporting “terrorist organisations” – referring to #Hamas – as well as its supposed “front organisations in Germany and #Europe”.

Since October 2023, the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees has unlawfully frozen the processing of all asylum seekers from Gaza. And on 16 April 2025 a federal administrative court in Germany will reportedly decide on a case that could set a precedent for the German state to mass deport Palestinian refugees.

...What we do know is that we are in the right, and however Germany decides to act now, we – hopefully with the international community alongside us – will act and fight accordingly. Standing up against the ongoing #genocide and calling for a free Palestine is the most important thing to do now. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/09/germany-deport-me-eu-citizen-no-crime-standing-palestine

#Berlin ’s #immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on #Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in #Germany.

The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of Berlin’s immigration agency. The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between #EU countries.
“You can see it in the U.S. and Germany, too: Political dissent is silenced by targeting the migration status of protesters.”
Some of the allegations are minor. Two, for example, are accused of calling a police officer “fascist” — insulting an officer, which is a crime. Three are accused of demonstrating with groups chanting slogans like “From the river to the sea, Palestine Will be Free” — which was outlawed last year in Germany — and “#freePalestine.” Authorities also claim all four shouted #antisemitic or anti-Israel slogans, though none are specified.

German police yesterday violently broke up an International Women's Day march in support of #Palestine and #solidarity with Palestinian #women who continue to struggle under Israeli occupation.

Last year, #AmnestyInternational sharply criticized the #Berlin police for using excessive force against demonstrators at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Berlin.

The #German federal ministry has dismissed a lawyer in #Berlin due to her opposition to the Israeli assault on #Gaza.

Lawyer Melanie Schweizer posted a video on X stating: “Yesterday I got fired as a civil servant working at the Federal Ministry in #Germany. Why? In a nutshell because I was speaking out against the genocide in #Palestine committed by #Israel, against the German support thereof, against the violence and crimes happening there.”
She called on supporters of Gaza to make their stance clear and “keep speaking up, keep using your voice, losing your job is not the worst that can happen to you, losing your life is. Losing your #freedom right is.”

"On 27 January last year, we were in #Berlin at a large demonstration in #solidarity with #Palestine. During the demonstration, our comrade was suddenly pulled out by the cops, put into a car without warning or communication and driven away. The reason: his Palestine flag had a fist in Palestine colours on it (see picture). That really shouldn’t be anything surprising at a Palestine demonstration. However, the police and the public prosecutor’s office claim that the fist looks “confusingly similar44 to the logo of the #Samidoun youth movement Hirak." #Germany #repression #zionism #zionazis #germancomplicity

New #Berlinale chief Tricia Tuttle says Germany’s #Israel-#Gaza stance poses threat to #festival

Is Germany’s stance on Gaza leading artists to avoid one of Europe’s top film festivals?

According to the Berlin Film Festival’s new director, that may be the case.

Tricia Tuttle, who previously ran the BFI London Film Festival and succeeds Carlo Chatrian and Mariëtte Rissenbeek after having been appointed by Germany’s Culture Minister Claudia Roth, is about to helm her first edition this coming February. She has said that the impression #Germany is giving with regards to controlling free speech on the #MiddleEast conflict is directly affecting her first edition in charge, and that there are fears that criticism of Israel would be condemned as antisemitism in Germany.

Last month, the German parliament passed a resolution on the protection of Jewish life, a controversial move that has led opponents to say that it equates criticism of Israel with #antisemitism.

“People are really uncertain about it. And I’ve talked to artists who are questioning whether they want to come,” she added.

Even if the western media convinced us that german population is pro-genocide it seems like the opposite. German population is against the aid given to zionist entity, but all the parties (maybe some exception) are pro-#genocide. #IsraelWarCrimes #IsraelTerroristState #GermanComplicity #EuComplicity #GovernmentAsEnemy

"Qantara portal, which publishes content in English, German and Arabic, operated successfully for more than 20 years, seemingly with no editorial guidance from the German government. This changed, however, when it began publishing content critical of German debates on anti-Semitism in the context of the #Gaza #genocide. Earlier this year, it was announced that Qantara would be restructured, and its management would be transferred from Deutsche Welle to the Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen – IFA),  which is affiliated to and funded by the Federal Foreign Office.
...German Foreign Minister Annalena #Baerbock suggesting in an interview that concerns about content published by Qantara, particularly content on anti-Semitism, were a factor in the decision.
...With this one article, published under the editorial control of a Foreign Office-affiliated institute, the #German government burned its “bridge” to the Islamic world."
