A guest contribution by Vera Lengsfeld
Incidentally, I believe that the traffic lights must be ended as soon as possible.
Cato the Elder, also called Cato the Censor, became famous for the saying: Ceterum censeo Chatarginem esse delendam. As is well known, the Romans got rid of their rival so thoroughly that the once powerful city is now only a field of ruins near Tunis.
The traffic light will also disappear, but the danger is great that it too will leave a field of debris, the greater the longer it persists. The question of whether we are dealing with inconceivable incompetence or ideological fanaticism can be confidently left to the historians. We need to focus on getting rid of it if we don’t want to go down with it.
When Chancellor Scholz announced the ban on Islamist organizations in his government statement last Wednesday, anyone in their right mind wondered why his government didn’t just impose the ban.
If Scholz naively hoped that this announcement would have an intimidating effect on Hamas supporters, he was proven wrong a thousand times over the weekend. The enemies of Israel and their numerous supporters demonstrated on the streets of our country that they do not care what the chancellor says. They don’t give a damn about Western values, just like they don’t give a damn about the law. Their experience is that neither the police nor the judiciary can touch them.
In Berlin, the situation escalated particularly: While shortly after the attack on Israel it was still the usual suspect districts where Hamas and its atrocities were celebrated, on Saturday it was Potsdamer Platz, which was flooded by the Islamists despite a ban on demonstrations. The police, who in the Corona period proved to be a powerful, less squeamish force during authorized demonstrations, not even shying away from using water cannons against peaceful demonstrators, proved this time to be incapable of enforcing bans on demonstrations. One rather felt sorry for the officers pushed to the edge of the barriers, who were attacked by aggressive Islamists. No water cannon, nowhere! There are said to have been arrests, but you want to bet that those arrested are already at large again.
All last week, politicians were touting that there must be deportations for Hamas supporters. But the qualification “if possible” shows that the political will is not there at all. With these slogans, they are only trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the population. But they should no longer allow themselves to be led astray by this government. The Hamas supporters are not even threatened with the withdrawal of their support; the associations and mosques with the hate preachers will be able to continue as before as long as this government exists. And every day hundreds of new Islamists enter the country because the Minister of the Interior continues to block the restoration of legality at our borders. When Faeser promises protection to fellow Jews, it is an empty, even hypocritical promise.
To illustrate the drama of the situation we are in: Of the rapists in Berlin’s Görlitzer Park, it has now come out that they were all from Africa. One had ten identities, and one had an asylum application already rejected in 2019. All were known to police for assault and drug offenses.
These guests are expected to our citizens with extreme ruthlessness. You also have to fund these people, even though you know that some of the money that the migrants get here is sent to their home countries. If it were only used to support the family left behind, one could still tolerate this kind of development aid. However, part of it is used to finance terrorism, as is now known. If and when the cash cards for migrants demanded by the prime ministers will come is more than uncertain. I would think not anymore with this government.
Germany was financing terror, according to the Israelis’ justified accusation. This is rejected from the Bundestag and the Foreign Office. One finances “humanitarian projects”. This was still claimed when it had already become public that Hamas had dug water pipes out of the ground in Gaza, financed by the EU, in order to build launching tubes for rockets. Every dollar that flows to Gaza is controlled by Hamas, says Swedish peace researcher Magnus Norell.
Michael Wolffsohn adds that he has papers that he will publish soon that prove that German funds are being channeled to Hamas in Gaza through the Palestinian Authority.
This does not seem to worry Annalena Baerbock, the most incompetent foreign minister since the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany, who has just completely failed again in the evacuation of compatriots from Israel. She made a point on Sunday night’s Anne Will talk show regarding Israel’s defensive struggle against Hamas:
“Therefore, the fight against Hamas must be conducted with the utmost consideration for the humanitarian situation, for innocent women, men (sic!), children. This is a huge dilemma that is difficult to solve. But we must face it.” What Baerbock means by the last sentence, like much of what she says, remains unclear. After all, she has no intention of personally participating in the Israelis’ struggle.
Our dilemma is that we have to endure this woman every day. But this problem is solvable: the traffic light must be ended.
Under fire – but all the more important is your support!
“Conspiracy ideologue,” “Nazi” or “right-wing agitator”: as a critical journalist today, you have to constantly have dirt thrown at you. The public broadcasters are particularly active in this area. ARD’s chief fact-finder Gensing already sued me in 2019, and the Böhmermann broadcaster ZDF recently slandered me as a “propagator of conspiracy narratives” – without naming a single piece of evidence, and in a post full of lies. Springer journalist Gabor Steingardt slandered me in “Focus,” for which I worked for 16 years, as a “member of an army of tin soldiers” and a “media fighting machine” of the AfD. On the initiative of “Westdeutscher Rundfunk,” I was even put on the wanted list. If one defends oneself legally, one usually has to bear the costs oneself. Your support is all the more important. Also morally. It spurs you on to keep going and not give up. Thank you very much for making my work possible with your contribution – without compulsory fees and tax money.
Currently (again) donations via credit card, Apple Pay etc. are possible – despite the Paypal block: via this link. Alternatively via bank transfer, IBAN: DE30 6805 1207 0000 3701 71. For those who have little themselves, I expressly ask you to keep what little you have. I am all the more pleased to receive support from all those whom it does not hurt.

Guest posts always reflect the author’s opinion, not mine. And I believe that contributions from contentious authors are particularly valuable for discussion and democracy. I value my readers as adults and want to offer them different points of view so they can form their own opinions.
