After remarks deemed anti-Semitic at the Berlinale, Germany and Berlin open an investigation. The German capital and the federal state, which share responsibility for this film festival, have opened an investigation after remarks.
Germany elevated Israel's security to the rank of reason of state. The Berlinale has been accused of spreading anti-Semitism after attacks by directors against Israel, who denounced in particular a "genocide" in the Gaza Strip where Israeli shelling left nearly 30,000 dead, mostly civilians.
