German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 19/237, pp. 30970-30971.
Esteemed praesidium.
Very esteemed ladies and gentlemen. Dear colleagues.
Steffi Lemke (Greens): You still cannot behave yourself, you lout!
In the last
edition of the legislative period, the entire great government coalition, with
FDP and Greens, has brought in a motion on the human rights situation in Iran. The
motion contains nothing which we for months and years do not already know. Yet
in this stale motion you mention not once the name of the new Iranian
president.
Ebrahim
Raissol-Sadati now governs Iran; for short: Raisi, a mass murderer. Two years
ago, he was on the United States’ sanctions list. Raisi, an Israel-hater, a
radical anti-semite. In 1988, towards the end of the Iran-Iraq War, Raisi had
thousands of people murdered: Opponents of the regime, women, children,
Christians and Jews – a total of at least 5,000 people, there is talk of up to
30,000 murdered. Raisi had clearly said: Pro-Iranian terror militias should
also continue to threaten Israel, that Iran’s rocket program should be
constructed.
What does
Claudia Roth now do? Will she greet the mass murderer Raisi with out-stretched
arms, as at the time with Laridschani? Or comes now a high-five with Raisi for
a removal of the condition, for an improvement of the atmosphere, as at the
time with the Iranian ambassador to Germany, likewise an Iranian mass murderer?
We do not know.
Today deals
with the Federal government’s report on its human rights policy. This report
reads as it would have been written by
leftist extremists. The entire leftist agenda is worked out. Left-wing
extremist criminal acts do not appear in this report. Islamist extremism is
completely dissimulated.
Alexander Lambsdorff (FDP): No longer even one interjection!
Once again we
read nothing of brutal attacks on Christians in German asylum applicant
shelters. The multiple vandalism of churches in Germany: Not documented. We
also read nothing of censorship on the internet by means of the NetzDG [Network Enforcement Act].
Yet before
all, the new anti-semitism in our country is trivialized and hushed – Islamist anti-semitism.
This silencing fits seamlessly with the pandering to Iran; since the old
parties have also previously hushed up the Judenhass
of the Islamist mullah regime. I maintain: In regards the theme of
anti-semitism, the old parties waver like a reed in the wind. The AfD is the
only delegation in this house which consistently
Ottmar von Holtz (Greens): It just cannot be so dumb!
proceeds unmistakably against every form of Judenhass,
Helin Evrim Sommer (Linke): Haha! Haha!
be it right,
be it left, be it Islamist.
Alexander Lambsdorff (FDP): No one from the Israeli government wants to meet with you.
When rockets
with nuclear warheads aimed at Israel are in the air, it is too late.
Helin Evrim Sommer (Linke): What have you smoked?
The Federal
government could have taken up the example of American President Trump.
Instead, Trump was ever again witheringly denigrated by the old parties here in
parliament, even for his Iran policy. It was nevertheless Trump who resolutely
showed the limits to the mullah regime. It was Trump who defended Israel.
The old
parties suggest in their motion today that Iran until 2019 had adhered to the
stipulations of the so-called nuclear agreement.The old parties assert that
only after the Trump administration’s withdrawal shall Teheran have violated
this agreement. It is an impudence to assert that Iran had previously held
itself to such obligations. You are telling fairy tales so as to conceal the
failures of the Federal government. The German policy of pandering to the
mullah regime has failed. Not least, this helpless motion again also shows
that.
At the end of this legislative period, my thoughts today
Alexander Lambsdorff (FDP): Oh man,
oh man! Oh man, oh man!
are with our
soldiers in Mali. We had hoped to be able to spare them this. The soldiers in Mali
Vice-president Claudia Roth: Your speaking time is at an end.
are there for
us. I hope we all are thinking of them and draw the consequences.
Many thanks.
