When the cow cut the morning checks its social media feed, he mostly sees hatred, humiliation and even the risk of death.
Catz said at a press conference on Wednesday, “I woke up to almost 100 extent comments on various social media platforms. Just for me. And what should I do? I am a Jew and I fight against antisemitism.”
He teaches international management in Applied Sciences at the University of Munich and established the DACH against hatred, on the initiative against antismitism.
On October 7, 2023, there has been a rapid increase in antismitism in Germany, terrorists of Hamas and military aggressive in Israeli’s Gaza Strip.
To curb the increasing anti-Jewish Jewish, with the Gai Katz, the German-Israeli society, the Jewish communities, several major figures, and 200 other organizations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, established the initiative.
The group has a major performance against the planned oppositionism for 5 October in Munich. Katj and other organizers have introduced an online petition with the target of collecting at least 100,000 signature. The petition aims to take the group’s five-point scheme and discuss the possible steps to be implemented for Parliament in Berlin, Vienna and Burn. The plan includes strict laws, better education and more security and support for Jewish institutions.
The Middle East Status is an ‘excuse’ for anti -sexualism
The patron of the initiative is Charlotte Noboche, who is the president of the Jewish community of Munich and Upper Bavaria.
He said that since October 7, 2023, the world has been a separate place, and this life has been “radically changed for the Jews.”
The 92 -year -old patron said that equaling German Jews with the current Israeli government is completely wrong.
“Today, we are facing anti -sexualism that uses only the excuse of growth in the Middle East. It suffers in itself to promote hatred,” the notes said.
“What many people now do or not to do what Israel now do in any case, it is also not interested, this purpose will be a case for political criticism, because it is in Israel. After all, the situation is complex.”
One of her fellow campaigners is German actress Uschi Glass, who has been campaigning for years for Jewish reasons in Munich.
She mourns that many of her collags in cultural and media areas were not worried about the issue.
“I believe that in general young people do not know. They did not educate, there is no discussion, no perspective is being opened.
Asks for legal improvement to deal with hate
Culture Minister Wolfram Wimer and Federal Commissioner Jewish Jewish Felix Clean support the initiative against Antisemitism.
However, Volcker Beck, president of the German-Israeli Society, warned that the time of the fine speeches was over.
“Politicians and Bundestag have repeatedly underlined imported issues that need to be addressed. Now we demand that they take decisive action,” Heer said.
When asked by DW, if concrete steps can be taken, Little said that the criminal offense of abetment to hatred could be expanded.
“We have to write the word ‘anti -semritic’ in the law completely, which means that anti -anti -individual motifs for crimes should be described. It will send a hint to the police and the judiciary,” the Hair said.
He therefore said that it is a criminal offense to call for firing destruction, and has been greatly imported to help the victims of anti -anti -deficit crimes.
In a emotional speech at a Munich Vardhanar on Monday, Chancellor Frederick Merz, Chancellor of Conservative Christian Democrats, committed it to harassing the law.
Actress Glass did not call on ignoring antisementism and said that the public mood reminded the issue of years before the Nazis seized power in 1933.
“This is that it started before 1933. This way it started. A lot could happen, our family, our grandparents or parents, no matter how old they were, people could intervene. It was happening again.”
Born in 1932, the Nobloche survived Nazi rule as a young girl.
He is deeply shaken by an increase in anti -anti -protestism.
“I can tell you, it is very difficult for me to bring the thesis issues in the public sector. Because I have already experience,” Nobloch said.
