A good-news story out of Germany:
The city of Bonn, the former capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, banned four Palestinian organizations from participating in its late September cultural festival, because they support the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign targeting the Jewish state.
The significant part:
the city defended the decision in a letter, writing that in Bonn there “is no place for the antisemitic BDS movement.”
The reasoning demonstrates an understanding about the underlying goal of the BDS movement, which is highly antisemitic. Although BDS is presented by its proponents as action against Israel for its alleged “apartheid” against Palestinians, it is really about the delegitimization of the Jewish state, with the objective of obliterating it in efforts to “free Palestine” from the “river to the sea“; i.e. from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
Germany has witnessed a surge in antisemitism accompanying with Muslim mass migration, which prompted a surprising statement from globalist Angela Merkel, who said: “We now have another phenomenon, as we have refugees or people of Arab origin who bring another form of anti-Semitism into the country.”
“German city bans four Palestinian NGOs from event due to antisemitic BDS,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem Post, September 11, 2019:
The city of Bonn, the former capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, banned four Palestinian organizations from participating in its late September cultural festival, because they support the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign targeting the Jewish state.
The Bonn-based General-Anzeiger newspaper reported on Monday that the city defended the decision in a letter, writing that in Bonn there “is no place for the antisemitic BDS movement.”
The Bonn city council passed a resolution in May declaring the BDS campaign antisemitic and anti-Israel. The Bonn mainstream parties represented in the city council – the Christian Democratic Union, Social Democratic Party, Green Party and Free Democratic Party – said that: “Institutions of the city of Bonn shall not provide premises for the BDS campaign nor support events of the BDS campaign or of groups that pursue [its] the objectives.”
As a result of the city excluding the pro-BDS Palestinian organizations from the September 29 cultural festival titled “Diversity,” three of the four NGOs filed a legal suit against the decision. The pro-BDS groups claim the city’s decision violates their free speech rights. Two of the Palestinian organizations which were banned are The German-Palestinian Society and the Regional Group NRW South.
In December, an administrative court ruled that the Munich city council was within its rights to ban BDS organizations from municipal buildings and to deny city funds to the anti-Israel organizations…..

Can we hope Germans have finally realized that Muslims are the ‘NEW NAZIS’ ???
There is more Jew hatred in the Koran and Islamic Trilogy than there is in Mein Kampf.

Hitler vs Muhammad:
One claimed to be on divine mission, blamed and killed massive number of Jews, and claimed that his people were superior. The other is Hitler.
Jayell says
Absolutely right. It’s the same message.

LOL!!!! Thank you for that one!!!

Bon is the centre of salafism in Germany. The Merkill government announced yesterday that they will take 25% of all new rapefugees that arrive in Italy’s coast. Mortimer, the mainstream in Germany wants to destroy Germany and they understand the time is running out. If the UK leaves and things go well, Italy will leave after their next election. That is the end of the EU.

While it may sound like a “left handed” compliment, a 90 something neighbor of mine who fought for Germany in WW2 stated that when Europe replaced the Jews with Muslims, it was leaping from the frying pan into the fire.
Bob Jones says
AMEN!
DHazard says
The desire to annihilate the state of Israel and all it’s Jewish citizens is apparently where Germany finally draws the line it it’s quest for cultural enrichment. But it won’t follow through with this moment of sanity by reexamining all of it’s existing alliances with Muslim organizations
Walter Sieruk says
As for a “cultural festival ” Germany or for any other Europe nation ,for that matter. any foreign as in non-European culture /religion just doesn’t seem appropriate Of course this means Islam which is a foreign “culture” to Europe Islam is not much more than a primitive pagan culture.
To explain,in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.
Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam. Therefore Islam is a hoax.

Sure would be nice if we could ban Omar and Tlaib from the US House of Representatives for their overt BDS support…

Germany: Bonn bans 4 Palestinian NGO’s from cultural festival for supporting BDS campaign

*Good*.

Don’t think that this is attributed to them coming to their senses, it is because more and more people are waking up and the so called right wing party AfD is gaining foothold as the elections in three formerly East-German states showed. There are more upcoming state elections and their fear is taking its toll. They are fearing the loss of their power and are not worried about anythin else. The Minister of the Interior Seehofer just boasted that he wants to accept every fourth so called refugee from Italy to ease the tension on other European countries. This is an open invitation to every one who has his bags already packed. Also people are sick and tired of being lied to by the MSM. If one is fluent in the German language I would recommend to read those areticles in Focus and Spiegel online and mostly the comments to theose articles. That is the reason the leftists frontiers are weakening. .
Keys says
Maybe the more Germans awaken and support AfD, the more those in power will invite immigrants in order to get the votes. It’s a battle for survival.
Heidi says
@Keys, those in power are working on it. I am afraid that this will lead to a civil war eventually. They showed the disembarkment of refugees from one of the ships in the news yesterday on TV. Women and Children? Not at all. All of them young men. A lot of the German population is sick and tired of the politicians but in the eyes of the leftists, they are Nazis. But, how do they say? History will repeat itself until you learn and it looks like it is repeating itself right at this time. https://www.en24.news/2019/09/sea-rescue-germany-wants-to-take-in-every-fourth-refugee-from-italy.html

Good indeed, however shallow the reasons. 🙂
Brigitte from Germany says
This is a good one.

Good move.
Now all Germany has to do is kindly return its Moslem population all the way back to Syria.

Bonn / Köln is a Salafi place – they tried to blow up the station twice – GOOD decision !
Koosemo says
Some people didn’t get to do something.
Westman says
Imagine that! Muslim organizations suing the City of Bonn for jizya. This must be the common denominator between the Muslims and the socialist liberals: Free stuff! (paid for by working people)
Imagine what will happen if Muslims become even 20% of Germany’s population.
Jayell says
Is this a domestic festival for the people of Bonn? Then it should celebrate the culture of the authentic people of Bonn. Palestine is a very long way away Bonn, and it should stay that way.
infidel says
These animals take ur hand if offered a finger and believe me that this is not the last that U have heard of them. These creatures will now try to worm their way into the decision making committee of the festival to skew it in their favor in future years. This curse does not go away easily unless expelled by force.
Angemon says
Well, this is rich – isn’t what they refer to as “violating freedom of speech” the MO of BDS groups?
Giacomo Latta says
Merkel: We now have another phenomenon, as we have refugees or people of Arab origin who bring another form of anti-Semitism into the country. Wow! All that shaking must have released a few brain cells from the mud of her brain. Next thought, Frau. Now where do you think these people get their ideas from? Mein Kampf? Close, but no bratwurst.
Older Canadian says
Good for them! But in Canada out political Green Party in Aug 2016 became the first federal party to endorse BDS. After backlash from several Jewish groups they compromised in Dec 2016 stating that Israel has the right to exist…as a two-state solution. I often wonder exactly what their true position is and also wonder how many Canadians who will support this party in Oct 2019 with their vote know this or even care.
