Gastkommentar: Es braucht ein unbedingtes Bekenntnis zum Schutz jüdischen Lebens
Andreas Nachama, Heiner Koch und Christian Stäblein fordern alle Parteien auf, für die Aufnahme der Bekämpfung des Antisemitismus in die Landesverfassung Berlins einzutreten. Und zwar jetzt!
On Wednesday, a Jewish rabbi and two Christians gathered at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche in Berlin to commemorate those killed in the Hamas terror attack on October 7, 2023. This attack on Israel and its citizens marked the largest killing of Jews since the Holocaust. The service also honored the hostages and the many who perished in the tunnels.
The survivors' pain was acknowledged, and the grief of the bereaved was shared. Compassion towards the victims was not seen as competing with other remembrances or mourning. Every human life is valuable and carries equal dignity.
In response to the aftermath of October 7, antisemitism has spread dangerously worldwide and in Germany. The report calls for decisive action from the state and society to combat this rising tide of hatred. The fight against antisemitism in Germany is emphasized as the first task for the government and society. Particularly in Berlin, the city where the industrial, state- institutional, and historically unparalleled destruction of Jews was planned and orchestrated, the intolerable and openly expressed antisemitism is unacceptable.
