Margot Käßmann – It pisses me off! Where is our compassion? – Politics

by time news

I can hardly stand these pictures! People camp on the outer border of Europe in freezing temperatures in forests without protection.

Children look fearfully at armed soldiers. Anyone who manages to break through the newly erected border fence will be brutally sent back. “Pushback” is now ironed out in English.

Of course: we can hold Lukashenko and Putin responsible. Two aging dictators who play with lives. Ugh devil! Yuck! I hate what these men do with helpless victims in front of the world.

And here? Rigid fear: Whoa, the right-wing might say it would alienate Germany if we let these refugees into the country as well. The others are busy ordering all the Christmas presents despite the delivery crisis.

Really, it pisses me off! Actually, as a decent evangelical columnist, I am not allowed to write such a sentence. I don’t care today. Martin Luther said that anger spurred him on to write many a text. Therefore I take the permission to the linguistic incorrectness.

Hello Poland: The Dublin Agreement has long been convenient because the refugees arrived in Italy and Spain by sea. But now it’s your turn. Pull yourself together, we are a community.

Hello, Germany: stop repeating fears from 2015 just because the AfD is chasing you. And hello, Brussels: where is there finally a word of power? Finally make it clear that mercy is not just a nice term, it is an attitude!

Cheaper words about European values ​​are absolutely hollow for anyone who still feels a spark of compassion at the pictures of starving children and the corpses of frozen people on the Polish border.

As the Bible says: “Whatever you did to one of these least of my brothers of mine, you did it to me” (Matthew 25:40).
