Germany failed the test for anti-Semitism after October 7, 2023, says BILD editor-in-chief Marion Horn.
In her column, she emphasizes that it was after the attack of the Hamas terrorist group on Israel that many acquaintances thanked her for supporting the victims and the truth reflected in the publication’s articles.
“That we do not try, like so many others, to legitimize this horror with the ‘justification’ that there has been so much injustice in the history of the Palestinian Arabs… My God, anyone who actually believes that this is a valid reason for the murder of innocent men, women and children, must be very careful, especially if he is German. Then he must also agree that it would be normal if the Poles, Russians or French went through Germany, raping and killing, because our grandfathers bombed their countries and killed millions of innocent people.” , Horne wrote.
She argues that October 7 was an important test for Germany, and the result of this test is failure. BILD’s leading editor points out that incitement to hatred against Jews continues at German universities, and that university authorities often fail to respond to such incidents. She notes that fear among Jewish students has again become the norm, and anti-Semites are free to express their slogans.
Horn also criticizes the political elite for their double standards: they react actively to minor provocations, but do nothing when calls for the extermination of Jews are heard on the streets. She emphasizes that the Palestinian scarf has become a symbol of hatred, which, depending on the context, is associated with both support for the destruction of Israel and nationalism.
In conclusion, Horn states that Germany must learn from its mistakes and prevent historical tragedies from repeating itself.
Earlier, Kursor reported that Scholz, on the anniversary of October 7, assured that his country is on the side of Israel.
