  • So the criminal president of FU Ziegler made allegations, which were happily taken on by the racist Berlin CDU, who like Ziegler, have a strong ideological conviction in embracing support for Israeli crimes and suppressing peaceful protests with violence, which then leads to escalation.

    Neither of them is a trustworthy source on this. Until there is a proper court proceeding, where proper evidence is provided and evaluated by a court of law, these claims should not be assumed to be true or false. This is specifically because the people making these claims are evidently not neutral and created the conditions for a counter-escalation to happen, so it is reasonable to assume this counter-escalation and the narrative about it to be part of their strategy too.

    Property damage is evident, but a very different category than people being threatened with weapons or dangerous tools. For this claim there needs to be proper court proceedings.


  • FU Berlin is cooperating with Israeli Universities and by this cooperation making itself willfully complicit in Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity For instance the FU Berlin funnels exchange students to participate in land stealing by an exchange program with the “Hebrew University”, who then houses these students in illegal settlements. Furthermore Israeli Universities are not merely educating people or providing research. They also directly run logistics and computer systems for the IDF, which makes them direct participants in war crimes such as the murder of women and children.

    As such pushing for an end of FU complicity in Israeli crimes is similar to demanding sanctions against military research cooperation with Russia. FU Berlin and other German universities are complicit and in support of Israel crimes. A full boycott would be in accordance with their obligations under international law, as was reaffirmed by the ICJ in The Hague with their “Advisory opinion” regarding the illegal occupation and subjugation of Palestinians by Israel.

    If you see someone murdering another person and you would have the means to stop it, would it not be your duty to try? Instead you are condemning the people that fought back against the supporters of mass murder, after the supporters of mass murder started beating them up when they tried to raise their concerns peacefully. Maybe it helps to replace Israel with Trump or with Russia in thinking about these situations. Would you accept disruptive protests if FU or any other German university would send exchange students to a Russian University built in occupied Ukraine?




  • There were previous peaceful protest camps on the campus grounds, which are public space. Those got violently evicted.

    Then months later people escalated to more destructive occupations as a response to the initial violent escalation by the University and Police.

    Somebody pointed out that in Berlin the third University TU, did not face such escalations, as the University Director chose to talk with people rather than have them beaten up by police. Students even came to defend her, when the racist and mysogynist government of Berlin pushed for her to be fired for having liked a post that criticized Israels conduct from a legally sound perspective.


  • For instance partaking in seating blockades on the routes of Nazi demonstrations is considered left wing “extremism” and could be charged as crime ranging from “coercion” to “breach of public peace / rioting”. Now whether it is convicted as such is a different topic, but for instance many climate activists have been convicted with prison times for glueing themselves to the streets. Many courts consider this to be violent coercion. So making yourself vulnerable and unable to act, but in the way of some car, this is violent extremism in Germany.



  • The fact that the Fascist Netanyahu government is embracing the antisemitic fascists and far-right in Europe should be the last wake up call, after ignoring all prior ones, for countries like Germany, France, UK, Netherlands that still heavily support Israel.

    Israel is a danger to Jewish life and prosperity in Europe and that is one of their goals. They want and need Jews to be unsafe everywhere in the world, so they can justify their atrocities as necessary to create a “safe haven” for Jews, despite Israels government being one of the most violent entities towards Jews, once they disagree with said government.


  • It can also be initiated by the federal government. Something that both the past and the likely upcoming government have rejected, because they are happy with the Fascists from the AfD moving the country to the far-right, so they can get their own right wing positions in better.

    In that sense the article calling the current SPD center-left is already out of touch with the current time. In many positions the current SPD is right to where the CDU was under Merkel. The CDU and their Bavarian partner CSU have embraced a heavy far right populist position, with the CSU befriending Trumps republicans, Orban and other far right/authoritarian leaders. The CDU ran on a platform of racism and dismantling human rights. The SPD has a hard on for authoritarianism and wants to dismantle many civil rights, such as privacy, protection of the flat, freedom of sciences and arts, freedom of opinion, right to asylum…



  • The claims of Uni staff being threatened came from a parliamentary inquiry of the racist Berlin CDU to the racist government of Berlin, lead by the völkisch-nationalist mayor Kai Wegner (There is German citizens and there is real Germans, who have German names). The parliamentary inquiry was initially reported on by the Axel-Springer outlet “B.Z.”. Axel-Springer operates businesses who partake in selling stolen land in the Westbank and is extremely Zionist, including attacking in particular Jewish and LGBT activists who oppose Israels actions. Tagesspiegel for the most part has been heavily dramatizing and uncritically repeating claims by Berlins police and political government. In particular the radical Zionist journalist Sebastian Leber has been heavily involved in spreading Zionist propaganda in the Tagesspiegel.
    The FU president Ziegler has been eager to get peaceful and non-interruptive protest camps violently removed by Police and he doubled down on cooperation with Israeli universities who are known to do research for and operate systems for the IDF such as the “Gospel” and “Daddys home” AI target selection systems.

    Why am i saying all of this? Long-story short, there is a strong entanglement between racist, antisemitic, anti-LGBT political and media forces in Berlin, who are in strong support of Zionism and use the current situation in particular to expand their attacks on legal and civil institutions of human rights and international law, science, education, arts, freedom of opinion, freedom of protest, freedom of religion…

    Until there has been a proper court proceeding, where legal proof of the claims of FU employees being threatened with tools or weapons is established, these claims should not be readily accepted as true. Specifically the people making these claims, and the people sensationalizing these claims have a strong ideological motivation to do so in order to legitimize the erosion of fundamentals of a democratic state of law that acts in accordance with civil and human rights and international law. These people cannot justify their motivations and behavior through rational arguments, so they rely on spreading sensationalized claims and propaganda lies.





  • The slogan “From the river to the Sea” was “outlawed” by a decree from the interior ministry designating it as a symbol of Hamas. Think of this act like Trump banning DEI. There is no legal consensus on it and various courts have upheld the slogan to be a legitimate expression und the constitutionally protected freedom of speech in Germany.

    This is executive order authoritarian style action and entirely different from democratic proceedings, where the parliament passes a law in accordance with the constitution, which then is interpreted by courts and finally enforced by the executive.

    Here the legislative and judiciary are cut out.


  • A court striking down an illegal order after months, maybe years of court processes does change that the victims are put under immense pressure, blocked from pursuing an education or work while in Limbo, unable to travel and on top of that have high legal costs to upfront.

    Meanwhile the perpetraitors on the government side face no repercussions even if the courts strike down the order.

    It is an effective extrajudicial punishment and the victims can loose years of their life.

    Also due process in Germany evaporates into a barely visible steam when it comes to police violence, where even brutal attacks by police officers rarely yield a sentence that would prevent them from continuing working as police.
