What is behind it
The BSW is controversial in Germany. His founder Sarah Wagenknecht has caused some controversy since she left the left in 2023. Her positioning on the location in Gaza is a clear one: “Gaza is the largest children’s cemetery in the world,” says the BSW website. Contrary to the German federal government, but in the sense of the human rights organization Amnesty International, the politician adopt the concept of genocide. With the rally on September 13, she would like to set a common sign against “The Gray in Gaza”, as she explained at the press conference in Berlin on September 8th.
The ProSieben moderator Daniel Aminati, the Palestinian-born rapper, will be on stage with her, the rapper Bausa and Roger Waters, who can be switched on live from New York. He recently came into focus again when he also expressed himself very strongly against the Israeli approach in Palestine. When asked how Wagenknecht was about, she reacted with the words during the press conference: “I don’t think anything about the fact that criticism of the Israeli government is described as anti -Semitic”. She further explained: “I would never join in with someone who questions Israel’s right to exist.”
Also on the car knew page: the 90-year-old actor Dieter Hallervorden. He is also not a friend of the conditions under which the civilian population has to live in Gaza. He explained in the House of the Federal Press Conference that he already expressed his opinion in this regard last year and “got it from politicians and the press”. The increasing censorship in terms of political expression is worrying. On the “mainstream media” like that BSW Formulated on his website, one could no longer count, even the switch -off of paid displays would be rejected by the capital press.
War split
In general, the situation in Gaza seems to split opinions. More and more speaking of a censorship of those who position themselves Pro-Palestine. For example, concerts by the band Kneecap were canceled and a appearance by the rapper Nura at ProSieben was canceled. The rapper Macklemore has publicly criticized since he moved the parallels of the oppression of Jew in a music video: inside in the Third Reich and the current situation in Palestine. But Hallervorden, like a Roger Waters, do not want to be restricted by such reactions: “Freedom of expression is a very high asset,” quote “Berliner Morgenpost” and “TAZ”.
Since the terrorist organization Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, captured countless hostages and the escalation of the near-OST conflict drove to a new climax, the attitudes towards the war situation have split on site. Israel has always defended the terrorist attack with relentless vehemence. The government under Benjamin Netanyahu is now at the point to keep the civilian population in Palestine under inhuman conditions – a defense reaction that is appropriate according to Netanyahu on the attack of Hamas. A de -escalation on site seems to be a long way off. Like many other EU countries, the German government under Friedrich Merz is interested in a solution in relation to Gaza, but the corresponding actions of the Federal Government-such as arms transport to Israel-are encountering mixed reactions.
German arms deliveries to Israel in focus
The demo on September 13th is generally also directed against the German armaments spending that are delivered to Israel. In the eyes of the demonstrators, Chancellor Friedrich Merz is one of the many powerful actors who do not really want to end the war between Israel and the Hamas. Instead, they would show the fragated loyalty from a historical debt – at the expense of countless human life. “The German state bundle may only be obliged to comply with international law,” says the official website of the BSW. The rally will be under the title “Stop the genocide in Gaza!” take place at the Brandenburg Gate.
