Palestinian Organizer CALLS OUT Cowardly “Progressive” Dems

‘Complete censorship’: Germany’s Palestinian diaspora fights
crackdown
[quote]
In the immediate aftermath of Hamas’s attacks on Israel on
October 7, a Palestinian flag was painted on a monument near
Sonnenallee, commonly known as Berlin’s Arab street, in the
southwestern district of Neukoelln. Authorities painted over the
flag on the same night.
In contrast, the city’s Brandenburg Gate was lit up the next day
in the blue and white colours of the Israeli flag.
The disparate visual examples have come to represent the fault
lines existing in Germany during the latest escalation of
violence in the Middle East.
Berlin is home to one of the largest Palestinian diaspora
communities in Europe, estimated at 300,000.
“Nobody expected our protest last week to be cancelled as we
have been holding them peacefully with police cooperation for
years,” Amir Ali, a Palestinian who has been involved in
organising protests in Munich, told Al Jazeera. “I was even
forbidden to walk inside the city for 24 hours because I was
wearing a keffiyeh. There’s a crackdown on all pro-Palestinian
voices across Germany, and in my opinion, they don’t want
anybody to speak up about the crimes against humanity being
committed by the Israeli state.”
He said Palestinians are being subjected to racial profiling and
being prevented from openly mourning.
“At our demos, we have experienced police racially profiling and
the targeting, arrests and detainment of non-white and
Palestinian-looking men specifically. That tells a lot about the
racist infrastructure that the German police are a part of.”
“Part of it is an underlying racism where there’s a hierarchy of
humanity whereby Palestinian life is not seen as equal,” Atshan
said.
“Israel’s security and existence is Germany’s ‘Staatsraeson’, or
‘reason of state’.”
“I’d like Germany to stand on the right side of history and
condemn crimes against humanity and apartheid,” Abusalama said.
“Because in my opinion, they have failed history, they have
failed the Palestinians and have mobilised their guilt to
silence and terrorise Palestinians in their everyday lives.”

Racism towards Black people is growing in Europe, with Germany,
Austria and Finland showing the highest rates of discrimination
and harassment, a survey of first- and second-generation Black
immigrants in 13 EU countries published on Wednesday found.
In Austria and Germany the proportion was 64% - almost twice the
previous level of 33% in Germany and a significant increase from
the 42% recorded in Austria six years earlier. The next worst
was Finland with 54%.

Germany's going to scheisse fast!
Germany introduces draft bill to step up deportations | DW News
[quote]The increasing number of migrants and refugees and the
low number of deportations has become a major political issue in
Germany, with the right-wing populists capitalizing on the
anti-immigrant sentiment.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced a tougher asylum policy in a
major interview with Germany's Spiegel magazine, in which he
promised, "We must finally deport on a large scale those who
have no right to stay in Germany." He called it unacceptable
that deportation procedures often drag on for years.
Now, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, a Social Democrat like the
chancellor, wants to follow through on the pledge and has
presented a bill that has been approved by the federal cabinet.
She told reporters in Berlin on Wednesday that the reform of
deportation procedures was only one step in a series of
migration policies. "We are ensuring that people without the
right to stay have to leave our country more quickly. In this
way, we are strengthening society's support for the reception of
refugees in Germany," she said.
She said the restrictive measures ensuring more and faster
repatriations were necessary so Germany could fulfill its
humanitarian responsibility for those needing protection from
war and terror. "To protect the fundamental right to asylum, we
must significantly limit irregular migration," Faeser said.
New rules for deportations
Faeser's bill provides for more powers for authorities to
enforce deportations, especially of criminals and people
smugglers. The bill's main points are:
Authorities will no longer notify individuals in advance of
their imminent deportation, with the exception of families with
young children.
In cases where the person in question lives in shared
accommodation, police will be allowed to enter and search rooms
other than the bedroom of the individual. According to the
authorities, people have often evaded deportation by hiding in
shared accommodation.
If a person does not have a passport to show, the authorities
will also be able to search their private cell phone or lockers
to establish their identity.
The maximum period of detention prior to deportation will be
extended from 10 to 28 days to give the authorities more time to
prepare for deportation.
Members of organized criminal groups in Germany can be deported,
regardless of whether they have been convicted of a crime.
Germany's high number of refugees
Germany has taken in more than a million people seeking
protection from President Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine.
On top of that, some 244,000 people from other countries applied
for asylum last year; this year, that number could rise to
300,000.
But even those who have no grounds for political asylum or
refugee status can often not be repatriated, if there is no
country willing to take them in, or their country of origin is a
war zone, or they themselves have serious health issues that
cannot be treated in their countries of origin. Some people
simply cannot be tracked down by authorities. Over 200,000
people fall into one of these categories.
According to the Interior Ministry, by the end of September,
there were around 255,000 people living in Germany who were
obliged to leave the country, of whom around 205,000 have a
"tolerated status" (called a Duldung in German), meaning they
are theoretically obliged to leave the country but cannot be
deported.
According to the German Interior Ministry, by the end of
September, 12,000 people had been returned to their countries of
origin. Faeser now wants to speed up deportations. "Those who
have no right to stay in Germany must leave our country again,"
she said.[/quote]

Pathetic how fast Olaf Scholz bends to the will of rightists.
First the Pro-Israel stance, now he's picking up their
anti-immigration stance. Still believe in democracy leftists? Do
you not see how fast cowardly politicians give into rightist
desires? Germany seems to be going full rightist and racist
faster than you can say "Hitler was a leftist!".

Israel-Hamas war cuts deep into Germany’s soul

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” chanted
many in the crowd as a phalanx of riot police closed in on them.
Berlin public prosecutors say the slogan is a call for the
erasure of Israel, and have moved to make its utterance a
criminal offense.
While similar scenes have played out across much of the world,
for Germany’s leaders, they are profoundly embarrassing and
strike at the heart of the nation’s identity, on account of the
country’s Nazi past.
Germany’s “history and our responsibility arising from the
Holocaust make it our duty to stand up for the existence and
security of the State of Israel,” Chancellor Olaf Scholz said
during a visit to Israel on October 17 intended to illustrate
Germany’s solidarity.
The difficulty for Scholz is that far from everyone in Germany
sees it his way.
tensions in Berlin and in other German cities have rapidly
escalated.
At the same time, German police have moved to ban many
pro-Palestinian demonstrations, saying there is a high risk of
“incitement to hatred” and a threat to public safety.
Demonstrators have come out anyway, leading to violent clashes
with police.

Fetterman spoke at a Get Out The Vote rally for Democratic

Fetterman, alongside the vast majority of the U.S. government,

Fetterman’s response this time leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
He spent the second half of his campaign and a fair amount of

his stroke recovery as an excuse to ignore comments he doesn’t

[quote]While we firmly stand with Israel against Hamas, we are
also very concerned about the suffering of civilians and the
destruction in Gaza. It is crucial to end this conflict before
it escalates further and spirals out of control. Albania
supports President Biden's call for a humanitarian pause in
hostilities. In exchange for an immediate ceasefire, the Arab
League and Turkiye should secure the unconditional and safe
release of all hostages held by Hamas. Following the horrific
crimes committed on October 7, there can be no political future
for Hamas. Under a UN mandate, an international force led by the
Arab League can temporarily assume control of Gaza, facilitating
a transition of governing responsibilities from Hamas to the
Palestinian Authority. I will soon be joining other world
leaders at the Paris Peace Forum, where we will discuss ways for
restoring peace in the Middle East.[/quote]

Blair on Trudeau's 'maximum restraint' comments: PM 'concerned
about innocent lives on both sides'
[quote]
Despite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urging the Israeli
government to exercise "maximum restraint" in the war in Gaza,
Canada's defence minister says it's wrong to believe that those
comments suggest Israel is acting otherwise.
Defence Minister Bill Blair responded to a question about
whether the Canadian government believes Israel is not
exercising maximum restraint in its now six-week-long war with
Hamas.
"The prime minister, quite understandably, is concerned about
innocent lives on both sides of that border."
He added Canada has "every expectation" that Israel will respect
international rules around armed conflicts.
"We've also been crystal clear: Israel has the right to defend
itself," Blair said.
"They were attacked by a terrorist organization and they have a
right to exist and, therefore, a right to defend themselves.
On Wednesday, Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid also
responded to Trudeau saying, "Israel is defending itself in
difficult conditions against a brutal terrorist organization
while trying to rescue babies, children, women and men who are
being held hostage by Hamas-ISIS. Responsibility for this
terrible situation rests with Hamas-ISIS."
Asked whether he believes Israel is exercising maximum restraint
now, Blair said it would be "a mistake to engage in speculation
or hypotheticals in the absence of evidence."
"I don't think the prime minister's remarks should be taken to
suggest that we are somehow coming to a conclusion that is not
based on evidence because we don't have that evidence before us.
And we're not going to engage in speculation as to whether or
not those rules are actually being adhered to. We're only simply
encouraging Israel to understand and to reflect everyone's
concerned about the innocent civilians that are being impacted
by that conflict."
