Germany finds it very difficult to identify anti-Semitism, especially if it comes from the left side of the political map, and even more so if it is Muslim anti-Semitism.

Political correctness, prevalent among many sectors of German society, sees the left as an innate struggle against racism and anti-Semitism, and Muslims as automatic victims of racism associated - no less automatically, with the right.

Therefore, the possibility that leftists and Muslims will sin against anti-Semitism is not at all conceivable, and if it is - then great efforts are being made to ignore the phenomenon, silence it or find excuses and explanations for it.

Anti-Semitism is shrouded in anti-Israel

The most common explanation for accepted anti-Semitism is anti-Israel or anti-Zionism. If leftists or Muslims can wrap their anti-Semitism in an anti-Israel cloak, they can become media stars in Germany. Your eyes do not deceive you: anti-Israel is a highly sought-after commodity in the German media, especially in the German public broadcast. For, it makes it possible to spread antisemitic views to the masses, without fear - usually, that someone will have to pay some price for it. And if, God forbid, a certain criticism arises, it will immediately be possible to defend oneself against it on the grounds that it is a legitimate criticism of Israel and any link between this criticism and anti-Semitism is an obscene mouthpiece of the "Zionist lobby" in Germany.

This week provided us with another example of the widespread anti-Israel anti-Semitism in public broadcasting in Germany. But, before the details of the affair, a few explanatory words about the nature of German public television broadcasting: it consists of two networks. The first ARD, founded in 1950, is that of the Corporation of All Regional Broadcasting Stations in Germany (Germany has 16 provinces and eight regional television stations) and that of Deutsche Welle, which is a German television station that promotes Germany's interests through worldwide broadcasts. The regional broadcasting stations have their own broadcast boards, but they broadcast joint major major editions and the parent station broadcasts programs produced by the regional stations. The second network is ZDF, which operates a number of its own channels. Both networks are funded by a fee paid by German citizens. Legal proceedings to repeal this fee have been postponed again recently. In the past, only apartment owners, who had radios and televisions, were charged the fee. From 2013, each apartment is required to pay the fee,Whether its occupants watch public television broadcasts and listen to public radio broadcasts or not.

One week ago, the regional public broadcasting station SWR, which broadcasts in southwestern Germany, announced that it had decided to appoint the young media woman, Nami Elhassan, a journalist and doctor of Palestinian descent, as the host of a program dealing with science. Elhassan's name was not known to the German public, but she is considered a rising star of German public broadcasting mainly due to her being one of the founders of a satirical YouTube channel, designed to fight German prejudice against Muslims. The channel was promoted by the German public broadcaster and began operating even before the 2015 "refugee crisis". In the hijab. Al-Hassan, who will turn 28 at the end of the month, is a member of an Arab family that left Nablus in 1948 and first moved to Lebanon and from there to Germany. She "repented"To Islam in its final years in high school and turned the issue of head covering in public into a matter of personal-public struggle. By the way, she was inspired to return to Islam during a visit to the "Blue Mosque" in the city of Hamburg, which serves as the main representative of the ayatollahs' regime in Iran in Europe. Due to its extreme activity, this mosque is under surveillance by the German security authorities.

The appointment of Alhassan as a facilitator at the SWR station could be seen as an attempt to diversify the team of presenters and thus contribute to the integration of the Muslim-Arab population in Germany. It was only immediately after the announcement of the appointment that the Bild newspaper revealed that some time after Alhassan's religious extremist process, she took part in the "Al-Quds Day" demonstration in Berlin in the summer of 2014. "Al-Quds Day", an anti-Israel initiative by the Iranian regime, is too excellent One year, on the last Friday of Ramadan, in mass demonstrations against the existence of the State of Israel. In Germany, especially in the summer of 2014, in the shadow of the "solid cliff", many antisemitic incidents were recorded in these demonstrations and in other anti-Israel demonstrations, from which the German authorities turned a blind eye. In the last two years, due to the growing antisemitic nature, various cities throughout Germany - including Berlin - have begun banning the Al-Quds Day demonstrations, following continued pressure from Jewish organizations. But, in the hot summer of 2014, it was still possible to hold this antisemitic demonstration in the streets of Berlin,And Nami Alhassan was photographed wearing a "Palestinian" keffiyeh and marking with her fingers the sign of victory, Vi.

A German-Palestinian journalist's Pandora's box

The exposure of Al-Hassan's participation in the "Al-Quds Day" demonstration led to the opening of the German-Palestinian journalist's Pandora's box: a video was found in which she was seen making claims with a clear antisemitic tone against Israel Her acts of shame and conceals her actions through statistics and puns. " In another video of her, distributed by the German Federal Agency for Political Education, Alhasan gives the hajab cake a simplistic interpretation of the term "jihad." The Israeli-German psychologist Ahmed Mansour, who works in Germany against Islamist extremism, especially among teenagers, writes in response to the website of the weekly Di Zeit: What does Nami Alhassan mean when she says truth? For me, part of the truth about religion is the willingness to criticize it.I speak clearly about the problematic connection of political Islam to issues of equal rights, sexuality and freedom of opinion. And I want to demand from other Muslims to put an end to anti-Semitism among them. "These are things that were not said by Nami Elhassan in a video distributed in 2015 by the German Federal Agency for Political Education.

Shortly after the problematic nature of Elhassan's positions was revealed, the agency that mentions the young journalist officially announced that participating in the Al-Quds Demonstration and "Other Demonstrations" was a mistake. "Al-Hassan clearly stands against anti-Semitism and anti-hatred," the statement said. At the same time, Alhassan blocked access to her Twitter account and a missing hand began to remove from the network any material that might have betrayed her positions. However, there were those who had already managed to document her anti-Israel statements. SWR, for its part, was in no hurry to give up its new acquisition. A statement from her said the allegations against Al-Hassan were significant, but also "preventing professional development from a young journalist is of great weight". Suddenly, Alhasan became a victim. It was not her actions that were under discussion, but the critical campaign against her. This is the most common method in Germany of dealing with accusations of anti-Semitism: creative reversal. The sinner becomes a victim of "political and intellectual persecution."Only after the storm did not die down but only intensified and the president of the Jewish community in Germany issued a critical statement on the matter, did the television station decide to end its cooperation with Alhassan.

Shaping public opinion hostile to Israel

This is a limited achievement in a relentless war of attrition against German public broadcasting.

Films, reports, debates with falsified, unfounded and misleading anti-Israel content are distributed on German public service television and radio stations, funded by German taxpayers.

German public broadcasting has for years been one of the focal points of shaping public opinion hostile to Israel.

This is not about freedom of the press, but about a trending and promiscuous political conduct, which in a very sad way gives establishment Israel a hand.
