0:00:06.2:		A look at a very sensitive topic: It’s about Israel.
0:00:11.4:		It’s about anti-Israeli emotions, and about the Gaza conflict, which is the cause for anti-Semitic sentiments among Muslims living here in Germany.
0:00:19.3:		Since the beginning of this year, there have been weekly demonstrations which condemned Israel
0:00:26.4:		without any differentiation and without looking at the injustice that Israel is subjected to with the rocket attacks launched by Hamas.
0:00:36.2:		Many pro-Palestine demonstrations, like the one here in Munich, have revealed blanket judgments against Israel.
0:00:43.3:		A fundamental anti-Jewish attitude was laid bare, according to a new study presented by the Amadeo Antonio Foundation.
0:00:50.2:		Even the Turkish-born Green politician, Cem Özdemir, warns of a growing anti-Semitism among young Muslims.
0:00:58.7:		The undifferentiated condemnation of Israel culminates in strong emotions.
0:01:03.1:		Equating the swastika with the Star of David is instrumental in fomenting anti-Israeli propaganda on (German) streets.
0:01:17.0:		Israel’s right to statehood is disavowed, and
0:01:19.8:		Israel’s defense against attacks since the foundation of the state in 1948 is absurdly compared to genocide.
0:01:27.1:		The protest against the war in Gaza turned into downright hate with rallying cries like: “Israel is the killer of women and children.”
0:01:33.5:		As a result, counter-demonstrators who were standing on the “Square for the victims of National-Socialism” and holding up a flag of Israel were attacked.
0:01:42.0:		Only the police who quickly intervened were able to prevent an escalation.
0:01:46.1:		In other cities too, pro-Israel demonstrators had to be protected by police
0:01:51.3:		A study commissioned by the ministry of interior in 2007 warned of the increasing disposition to violence among the Muslim youth who are anti-Semitic.
0:02:00.5:		“Where is Hitler, where is he?”
0:02:01.8:		“He didn’t quite finish…”
0:02:05.6:		“Murder of children — Israel”
0:02:07.2:		“Many say ‘Anti-Semitism, yes and no, and Germany is indebted to the Jews, but I think what Hitler did back then… well, I also don’t think everything he did was OK…
0:02:16.7:		they (the Israelis) are also human beings, but they also have the right to live and to be free…”
0:02:22.8:		but what is happening in Gaza… it is nothing but a huge concentration camp, where people can’t get out, where they are exterminated.”
0:02:32.4:		In order to find out more about the causes behind all this, the “Volkshochschule” (community college) Munich hosted a seminar titled “Israel and the Media”
0:02:39.5:		which took a closer look at the Israel’s role in the Palestinian conflict.
0:02:43.2:		Journalist and film maker Esther Shapira showed the massive propaganda against Israel.
0:02:50.5:		For instance, with the help of media forgery like this funeral
0:02:55.2:		where the would-be corpse fell of the stretcher and is suddenly alive.
0:03:00.4:		Stagings such as this one are now called “Pallywood”.
0:03:01.6:		I know about these manipulations, I myself have seen them. From the perspective of the Palestinians, who feel they cannot win the war, it is of utmost importance to win over the public
0:03:12.6:		in order to generate pressure on a moral and political level.
0:03:15.2:		Here the media are the crucial and decisive weapon.
0:03:18.3:		One has to be ware of that, both when sitting in front of the television set and journalist who are working with these pictures, which have taken by Palestinians.
0:03:28.2:		Pallywood is carefully prepared and set up.
0:03:30.3:		After the cameraman has positioned himself, the Palestinians start their provocations
0:03:34.5:		in the hope that the other side will react at some point so that there might be victims.
0:03:39.0:		Consequently, there are about 20 photographers and camera people present in this situation in order to capture suitable pictures.
0:03:45.4:		When the camera rolls, a Palestinian civilian simulates a shot in the leg.
0:03:50.3:		No blood is seen. Shortly thereafter, an ambulance arrives.
0:03:55.1:		The purported victim is dragged across the asphalted street and hoisted onto the stretcher.
0:03:59.3:		But on the wrong side! On the purportedly hurt right leg. An obvious fake from Pallywood.
0:04:05.7:		One of the worst fake was the alleged death of the Palestinian boy Mohamed al-Dura,
0:04:11.8:		who was allegedly shot to death by Israeli snipers.
0:04:14.5:		In the meantime, a court has ruled that it was Palestinians who shot father and son.
0:04:21.3:		Even the death of the boy is now seriously doubted.
0:04:22.7:		For many years, Mohamed al-Dura has been considered a symbol for Israeli brutality who motivated, and inspired thousands to become fanatics and to join the jihad.
0:04:31.0:		“This is an ideology, a fanatic ideology. These people are driven. There is this totally crazy belief that ‘we love death, while the Jews love life.’
0:04:48.9:		This is something I was told by some Palestinians.
0:04:53.6:		A society with suicidal thoughts, (with shahids who are then) admired as heroes,
0:04:59.5:		schools that are named after these heroes who are forced to become suicide bombers.
0:05:07.2:		Hamas consequently uses civilians as human shields for their battle positions.
0:05:12.2:		When Israel announced their targets, Hamas dragged civilian, especially children, to the points of impact
0:05:21.0:		in order to raise the number of victims.
0:05:23.1:		“This is an education that I have seen there with my own eyes, with the aim to use these children as an instrument.
0:05:35.9:		I was once told in a bazaar in Jerusalem:’ I have five children, I will all send them into holy war, and if they’re dead, I’ll make another five.
0:05:46.0:		There is a reality that we as Europeans refuse to accept.”
0:05:52.9:		The Hamas government drills children into jihad.
0:05:56.4:		During this performance, children are furnished with weapons, explosives belts and bloody hands to prepare them for the fight against Israel.
0:06:04.6:		The aim: death as a martyr.
0:06:05.9:		And the resulting dead children are used years later as a moral weapon against Israel to keep the picture of the child-murder Jew alive.
0:06:16.2:		“Israel is a killer of children and a killer of women. (They are doing this) on purpose.
0:06:21.9:		They have no right to do this with our people. With our Muslim brother.”
0:06:28.2:		Many time leftist radical groups take part in these demonstrations against Israel
0:06:32.1:		like the German communist party. Also taking part is the right-wing radicalism, which is spread out in the Arab world.
0:06:39.5:		The Jew-hating national socialism is openly seen as a example.
0:06:44.4:		Even in 2003, Hitler’s openly anti-Semitic hate propaganda pamphlet reached number 3 on the book rankings before its sale was banned on the initiative of Bavaria.
0:06:54.5:		“I believe history is repeating itself. I find extremely problematic that radical Palestinian groups are teaming up with radical right-wing and radical left-wing groups, and this alliance is extremely dangerous.”
0:07:06.9:		Justice in the Middle East definitely also includes a separate state for the Palestinians.
0:07:12.2:		But this right to exist must also be granted to Israel.
0:07:16.3:		It is alarming, though, that demonstrations like this one for Israel’s right to exist are quite rare here in Germany.
