"Ilse Aigner is a unique personality. She listens to people and takes them seriously. In doing so, she reaches out to those who are frustrated and feel left out by society. She approaches people with humanity and openness and can build bridges where others deepen divides." EVP chief Manfred Weber (54, CSU): "Ilse Aigner is a unique personality." #CSU #IlseAigner #Bundespräsident (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann wrote that the response of the Hessian state government to an inquiry from the AfD states that there are a total of 4,495 prisoners in adult and youth detention as of March 31, 2026. Of these, 1,865 were of Christian faith (41.49 percent), including 841 members of Protestant churches, 712 Catholics, and 312 Orthodox churches. 1,487 prisoners were Muslim (33.08 percent). Compared to a Muslim population share of about 10 percent in Hesse, Muslims are thus approximately three times overrepresented in correctional facilities, Kussmann wrote. For the Rockenberg Juvenile Detention Center, she mentioned 131 prisoners, including 78 Muslims (59.54 percent), 17 members of Protestant, 16 Catholic, and two Orthodox churches. In Wiesbaden, there were 162 prisoners, including 79 Muslims (48.77 percent), 14 members of Protestant, 17 Catholic, and five Orthodox churches. Furthermore, nine prisoners were affiliated with Buddhism and twelve with Judaism across the state. 775 made no statement, for which Kussmann cited a proportion of 1724 percent; 328 were without denomination (7.30 percent). According to Kussmann, the state government does not want to specify the number of extremist or radicalization-relevant prisoners. She wrote that politically motivated crime is subdivided into five areas: For right-wing politically motivated crime (PMK), there is a medium double-digit number of prisoners, almost exclusively Germans; for left-wing PMK, there is a low single-digit number, exclusively Germans. For foreign ideology PMK, she mentioned a low double-digit number, including Syrians and others; for religious ideology PMK, a low to medium double-digit number, including Germans, Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis, and others. In the case of other classifications, the number is low double-digit and the prisoners are exclusively Germans. As examples of the listed crimes, Kussmann mentioned among others murder, attempted murder, terrorist organizations, genocide, rape, fraud, and driving without a license. #Hessen #Justiz #Gefängnisse (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that he did not want to share a certain form of whataboutism. At the same time, he asked how Friedrich Merz evaluates his own meetings with Benjamin Netanyahu after the Chancellor, through the government spokesperson, described the visit of former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder to Vladimir Putin as "immoral." According to Warweg, Netanyahu is wanted by international arrest warrant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. Merz based his moral judgment of Schröder's meeting on the "immeasurable suffering of civilian victims" in the war, Warweg wrote. This argument could also be applied to Merz's encounters with Netanyahu: At the meeting in December 2025, the number of identified dead children in the Gaza Strip was already at 20,179, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), along with 10,427 dead women. Warweg also referred to a meeting between Merz and Netanyahu on February 12, 2024, in Jerusalem, when Merz was still the opposition leader. The night before, the Israeli Air Force had targeted a refugee camp in Rafah; more than 100 people, including numerous children, lost their lives in the attack. #Whataboutism #Kriegsverbrechen #Moralität (translated)

The author wrote that they would be missed from a satirical point of view. However, since her resignation is due to a serious case of mourning, it is appropriate, out of human respect, to sincerely wish her and her family strength, confidence, and courage. #Respekt #Trauer #Menschlichkeit #DE (translated)

"Killing as a war crime or as a crime against humanity is no less serious than genocide." Germany, according to Sands' internally coherent demand, must decide whether it understands its state raison d'état in a particular way, as unconditional loyalty to Israeli policy, or as a "genuine, non-racialized raison d'état" that breaks the silence wherever international crimes occur "and by whomever they are committed." #Völkerrecht #Friedenspreis #PhilippeSands (translated)

that war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide are prosecuted under criminal law. The former judge at the International Criminal Court (ICC) and former UN human rights commissioner significantly contributed to "the prosecution of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide," said the head of the Nobel Committee, Jørgen Watne Frydnes. #Friedensnobelpreis #Menschenrechte #Israel (translated)

Ahmad Mansour described that a six-year-old girl asked in the car on October 7, 2023: "Are you Israelis?" She had just lost both parents, heard gunshots around her, and tried to protect her little sister while police officers fought for her rescue. #Israel #Terror #Menschlichkeit (translated)

The author wrote that on October 7th, he was shaken by the emotional coldness with which some people had already compared victims against each other on the day of remembrance and equated perpetrators with victims. Furthermore, they had compared the murder of more than a thousand people to unspecified things. #Gedenken #Solidarität #Menschlichkeit #DE (translated)

Interesting how many self-proclaimed guardians of humanity and justice have been silent since this morning. Wanting to bring down a plane full of families, women, and children – and yet not a word. Apparently, for some, it is not the suffering that decides, but the ideological classification of perpetrator and victim, whether outrage is warranted. #Gerechtigkeit #Menschlichkeit #Empörung (translated)

It is hard to find words that do justice to the significance of this award. The Mevlüde Genç Medal is not an ordinary prize for me. It is a great honor - but above all, a commitment. Mevlüde Genç responded to the unimaginable suffering from the attack in Solingen with something that goes far beyond what could be expected: with love, humanity, and reconciliation. Her attitude reminds us that hatred can never be the answer. For me, this award is also personally significant. My story began in Gelsenkirchen and North Rhine-Westphalia. Here I experienced that people of the most diverse backgrounds can live and work side by side quite naturally. I want to pass on these values: to the next generation and to the many young people who are charting their own paths. Education, empathy, and the willingness to understand other perspectives are crucial. Thank you very much to the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Minister-President Hendrik Wüst for this special honor. I accept it with great gratitude - and with the awareness that it brings responsibility with it. Together is always stronger than division! 🤍 #Zusammenhalt #Versöhnung #Menschlichkeit (translated)
