Condolences for the victims of the Hamas attack are widespread in Germany. Some, however, are using the terrorist attack for anti-Semitic propaganda. Among them: German neo-Nazis.
The neo-Nazi spectrum in Germany is using the war in the Middle East for massive, anti-Semitic and racist propaganda. This was the result of an evaluation of websites and social media channels of relevant parties and groups by “Spiegel”.
The former NPD youth association “Young Nationalists” justified the Islamist terror against the Jewish civilian population with the words: “The new wave of attacks by Hamas is preceded by oppression, occupation and Israeli mass murder that violate international law.” The German neo-Nazis posted a picture of a blood-stained Star of David and the slogan “Israel is murdering and the world is watching” on their Telegram channel.
Another neo-Nazi splinter group also railed against the Jews being attacked. “The Third Way party resolutely rejects any solidarity with the imperialist terrorist state of Israel,” it said on its homepage on October 11th. The Hamas attacks are disguised as a “counterattack on the Zionist entity of Israel” and a reaction to “ongoing Jewish provocations against indigenous Arabs.” They had overcome the wall “with which Israel wants to corral the Palestinians.” “The Third Way” now expects “Zionist pogroms” in the region. However, there can only be “clear solidarity with Palestine” “if the areas occupied by Arabs in Germany and Western Europe are released again,” writes the party. Elsewhere she describes the members of the German federal government as “Zion’s compliant servants.” The “rulers of the Federal Republic of Germany” system “did not conspire for the good of the German people, but only for their ‘chosen’ Yahwist masters.”
The former NPD, which recently called itself “Die Heimat,” called on Facebook on October 9th to “stay out of the conflict between Israel and Palestine.” The article continues: “Not Israel’s security, but Germany’s security is our reason of state!”
The neo-Nazi micro-party “The Right” in turn spread links on its “Telegram” channel to a right-wing extremist online shop that offers “Solidarity with Palestine” T-shirts – with the comment “More relevant than ever.”
