They attack us because we advocate for international law and for the people in Palestine. The federal chair of the Left Party, Ines Schwerdtner, strongly rejected anti-Semitism allegations against her party. "They attack us because we advocate for international law and for the people in Palestine. Because we call the genocide in Gaza what it is: a genocide," Schwerdtner said at the state representative assembly of the North Rhine-Westphalian Left in Hagen. #Özdemir #Linke #Bundespolitik (translated)

U.M. OSINT referred to the debate, which had been intensively conducted again for the past two days, as leftist agitation and a seemingly legal discussion in which terms were being diluted. According to his representation, international law prohibits attacks on or the destruction of sovereign states, thereby protecting their right to exist. This is ensured internationally solely through the UN. Since Israel is a UN member, it has a right to exist; defined borders are not necessary for this. Israel's borders are largely defined by bilateral treaties, but not with the Palestinian territories, as these are not a state. Whether states emphasized or rejected Israel's right to exist is a political position, U.M. OSINT wrote. However, internationally, Israel's UN membership holds. He compared the debate to disputes over the terms "genocide," "intifada," and "anti-Semitism," accusing those who distorted terms of being unable to openly present their arguments. They may not want to explicitly say that they want to destroy Israel, he wrote in a harsh personal attack on the left. In conclusion, he described the actions as propaganda. #Völkerrecht #Israel #Politik (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)

"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)

Emrah Erken criticized the UN Human Rights Council and Navi Pillay. He wrote that the body had condemned Israel for human rights violations a total of 116 times since its founding in 2006, while China, Turkey, and Qatar had not been condemned even once. The United Nations, he claimed, had turned human rights into a weapon against the West, particularly Israel. Pillay served as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014. During this time, the Human Rights Council never condemned China, Erken wrote. UN Watch and former UN employee Emma Reilly accused Pillay of having passed the names of more than 50 dissidents, including Uighurs, to China under her leadership. Additionally, Pillay stayed away from the Nobel Prize ceremony in 2010 in honor of the imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. Erken further wrote that Pillay later led a UN commission of inquiry that accused Israel of genocide and previously signed calls for sanctions against Israel. In 2012, she criticized the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for its Muhammad cartoons, describing the drawings as malicious and intentionally provocative. Critics also accused her of opting for appeasement and restrictions on freedom of expression rather than defending it in the debate over Muhammad cartoons. Erken called it a shame that Pillay would receive this year's Nobel Peace Prize, and expressed opposition to post-colonialism, the "Woke Left," and Pillay. #Menschenrechte #UN #Israel (translated)
