Maximilian Krah, November 17, 2023, Attacks against Christians

AfD Kompakt, November 17, 2023. 

The [OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) and OIDAC (Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians)] reports on the rise of attacks against Christians in Europe are themselves already alarming. The scant resonance in the press however reflects a disturbing ignorance of the political-media mainstream. 

All lip service for tolerance is of no value when it does not also pertain to Christians. Thus why this deafening silence? Perhaps it has something to do with that the anti-Christian attacks all too often proceed from leftist ideologues or those supposedly “seeking protection”. 

The AfD is resolutely committed to heightening the awareness in society as well in the European governments of this abuse. We will not allow that Christians in Europe can no longer freely live their faith without being attacked.

Beatrix von Storch, November 9, 2023, Islamism and Democracy

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/134, p. 16794. 

Frau President. Ladies and gentlemen. 

Today, on the 9^th of November, we need to state: Jewish life in the Federal Republic was never so threatened as today. A new Judenhass could be taken into Europe from the Near East because the leftist migration lobby opened wide the door. 

“How far will the European societies go so as to offer a place to a quickly growing Moslem minority which is opposed to social and cultural integration?” 

Walter Laqueur put this question ten years ago. The answer reads: According to those who understand Islam, until total surrender. 

At the Palestinian demonstrations we see these days Islamists and leftists united. This anti-semitism, which threatens and wants to wipe out real Jewish life and the existence of Israel, we find not only among the German working population. We find it in the mosques, in the Islamic assemblies and associations, in the leftist universities and in the Kultur operation infected by the BDS movement. 

This political axis reaches from the Hamas to Fridays for Future, from the Hezbollah to the Antifa, and from the PFLP to the Black Lives Matter movement. The consequences of this decades-long infiltration: Mass prayers at the Brandenburg Gate, the Neptune Fountain at the Rote Rathaus occupied, and in Essen, the caliphate proclaimed. 

And these idiots of Queers for Palestine and Gays for Gaza loudly applaud. Excuse me, how moronic can one actually be? In a Hamas state, no rainbow flags hang in front of the ministries. There, homosexuals hang from the construction cranes. 

Except to these deluded ones, it is obvious to everyone – cite: “Multiculti has failed, absolutely failed”. You know that is a citation from Frau Merkel from the year 2010. When Frau Merkel five years later opened the borders, she knew exactly what she was doing. And then she came to us with hollow phrases like “We can do it” [Wir schaffen das] or “Show a friendly face”; or, with a cold ignorance: It’s all the same to me whether I am guilty of the influx of refugees. Now they are here.   

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, now they are here. Hundreds of thousands of men – young, aggressive and dominant and – what you here never say, and to which there is always a protest – Moslem, filled with hatred of Jews, of unbelievers, and the West. And what does Interior Minister Faeser do in regards these hordes celebrating thousands of dead Jews? She invites the Islamic assemblies to an Islam conference so as to make a theme of what? Islamophobia. Inconceivable! 

Post-Merkel Germany no longer shows a friendly face, but a hateful grimace hostile to Jews. And for this performance, Steinmaier and Söder and Merkel are decorated with orders; it cannot be imagined. And now, where the AfD drives from success to success, the CDU comes around the corner with our motions: Robust border defense, maximum limits, deportations, deprivation of citizenship. If you want the people to accept these things from you, then you should not exclude Hans-Georg Maaßen from the party, but Angela Merkel. 

From the constitutional scholar Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde stems the thesis which is central to our FdGO [basic constitutional order]. It reads: 

“The free, secularized state lives on presuppositions which [the state] itself cannot guarantee’.

Since Islam in most of its expositions is not prepared to recognize the liberal, secular state – thus Böckenförde – the Politik needs to take care that Moslems remain in the minority. Those whom we see marching in our streets are never to be allowed to have the say here because they, with our democracy, can introduce Sharia. Democracy in itself is no common value, but democracy requires common values so it can continue to endure. Those who are demonstrating in our streets are those who presently endanger Jewish life, endanger the free, democratic, basic order and endanger the future of Germany. 

Many thanks.

Beatrix von Storch, October 11, 2023, Palestinian Terrorism

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/127, pp. 15871-15872. 

Herr President. Ladies and gentlemen. 

Israel’s President Itzschak Herzog has declared: Not since the Holocaust have so many Jews been killed in one day as now by the Hamas massacre in Israel. – The aim of the Islamic barbarism is not military. With them, it is about one thing alone, to murder as many Jews as possible. They behead babies. 

And the UN Human Rights Council? It introduces a minute of silence, yet not for the victims, but so as to complain about Israel. And the German representative rises and actually remembers the mass murderers. 

            Till Steffen (Greens): That is rubbish! Unbelievable! 

            Erhard Grundl (Green): A lie!

Lower we cannot sink. 

At home, it appears not much better. Nancy Faeser strengthens the security measures for Jewish establishments. Why actually? Na? Because many too many of the barbarians and their  supporters and followers meanwhile live in the midst of us. Thanks to your immigration policy, terror organizations like Hezbollah, Hamas and PFLP have a growing throng. 

And they have the power in our streets, when they want it, whenever they want it, where they want it, how they want it. And they wanted it last Saturday in Berlin-Neuköln in the Sonnenallee. For the celebration of the massacre in Israel, Arab supporters of terror distributed sweets on our streets, organized by the Samidoun group, and we look on. Samidoun ought to be banned; we demand that in our motion [Drucksache 20/8738]. 

Samidoun is an offshoot of the PFLP, the Palestinian terror organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. This organization for decades draws a trail of blood with airplane hijackings and terror attacks. It is on the EU terror list, yet in Germany it is not banned. The PFLP ought to be banned; we demand that in our motion [Drucksache 20/8738]. The PFLP is a marxist-leninist movement. The Hamas is Islamist. Yet in Germany this ideological contrast is all the same. 

            Lamya Kaddor (Greens): It is not all the same!

Their Judenhass unites them. 

Merkel certainly did nothing: The Hezbollah was not banned. You of the Union have issued only an activity ban. We wanted to ban them. The result: Nothing. The persons are still here, the structures are still here, there are not deportations. You work together with Islamic associations. Have you once seen the declaration of the Central Council of Moslems? Or heard the declaration of other protagonists? These deafening silences? 

The PFLP is the bridge between Islamist terror and German leftist extremism. “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea” – translation: Jews into the sea. 

            Lamya Kaddor (Greens): And now you also repeat this propaganda trash!

Even the leftist taz now admits: Behind here gather no Nazis, but leftists. Those are not anti-fascists, those are fascists. 

The axis between German leftists and Palestinian terrorists has a decades-long tradition. Joschka Fischer took part in a PLO congress at which the final victory over Israel was demanded. Entebbe airplane hijacking: German leftist extremists separated so as to allow Jewish passengers to be murdered. Landshut airplane hijacking: PFLP wanted to release RAF terrorists. First Iraqi War: Green chairman Ströbele said: The Iraqi rocket attacks on Israel were the compulsory consequence of Israel’s policy. 

            Lamya Kaddor (Greens): Speak faster! Then we no longer understand you!

And Claudia Roth – keyword: “BDS-Movement Documenta” – joyfully high-fives with convinced annihilators of Israel. For her, all has been said. Her solidarity with Israel is exhausted in sermons, hashtags and empty demands. 

            Lamya Kaddor (Greens): Now no one understands anymore!

In practice you finance to this day Judenhass in Israel. Over a hundred million euros to the Hamas-directed, so-called refugee organization UNRWA. Humanitarian help is not allowed to flow through Hamas. And in Germany you do nothing at all just once to ban and then to break up the structures of Hezbollah, Hamas, PFLP and Samidoun. 

            Lamya Kaddor (Greens): When do you start with the truth?

Nothing. We see the horrors in Israel and we see the Arabs in Germany 

            Lamya Kaddor (Greens): They are not “the Arabs in Germany”!

celebrate these horrors. 

Who knows that better than Frau Güner Bilic, the integration commissioner of Neuköln? 

            Lamya Kaddor (Greens): She is called Balci! You cannot even pronounce                            the name!

A citation today in Spiegel: Broad parts of the Arabic-speaking population of Neuköln preserve sympathies for Hamas – which beheads babies. 

Herr Chancellor, in view of this horror in Israel and of the growing and public support among us of the horror, act! Eliminate the means for the UNRWA [Drucksache 20/8739]. UNRWA is Hamas, and Hamas are terrorists, not state actors. One does not negotiate with them, and one is to give them no money. 

Lamya Kaddor (Greens): That is a piece of insolence! That is simply false, what you assert here!

Ban the terror organizations and – still more important – then destroy their structures! 

Marianne Schieder (SPD): Do you know what bad is? That today in the German Bundestag one is allowed to roll out so much trash!

We need less Scholz, and we need more Helmut Schmidt! 

Many thanks.

Alexander Gauland, October 12, 2023, Israel and Hamas

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/128, pp. 15903-15904. 

Frau President. Herr Ambassador. Ladies and gentlemen. 

When it is about Israel, the hour of well-meaning lip-service begins. The German Chancellor has today repeated the most famous of all. It stems from Herr Scholz’s predecessor in office and runs: The defense of Israel is a German reason of state. – As articulated by Frau Merkel: German tax money also flowed to anti-semitic NGOs and aid functions, and the security of Jews in German streets the German government could not guarantee. It has unfortunately remained so until today. 

Now there are new announcements. Declarations of solidarity neither help the Israelis nor make the slightest impression on terrorists and their supporters. This barbaric attack, with almost exclusively civilian victims, needs to be radically answered. Terror needs to be struck at its life’s nerve: At the money. That a portion of these rockets, a portion of these weapons used by Hamas, were paid for where possible with German tax money is an unbelievable scandal. If the so-called reason of state should be more than a fine phrase, the German payments to Palestinian organizations need to immediately stop, ladies and gentlemen. That applies to all these payments. 

The Foreign Minister has assured no terror will be financed with German money. 

            Susanne Menge (Greens): ”Vogelschiss” of history! You should start                                    with yourself!

Pardon, Frau Baerbock: The proposition that money flows exclusively to humanitarian projects is at best naïve. Hamas controls Gaza. As surely as a portion of German development aid arrives at a motor park of an African dictator, just as surely a portion of this so-called aid money also lands at Hamas. That, ladies and gentlemen, needs to change. 

For with this money, the Palestinians are not aided, but their leaders who make life for them in  Gaza a hell and ever again plunge them into senseless wars. The Hamas butchers and child murderers are not victims. Hamas is an organization which was founded for one, single purpose: To kill Jews. Its leaders have ever again quite unashamedly declared this. The attack on Israel is no revolt of the oppressed, but of gruesome fanatics. 

That it finds public support on German streets, that in Germany is recited: “Hamas, Hamas, Juden ins Gas” is unbearable. How many of these festivals and appeals for Judenmord have there been in Germany? And what police and juridical measures are there opposed to it? I hope, Herr Chancellor, that your announcements today change that. 

Ladies and gentlemen, with this is meant not only Israel, with this we have meant the entire Western world. Israel, that is the West in an environment in which the West is rejected and fought. When we place ourselves on the side of Israel, we also defend our way [Art] of living and thinking against a politicized Islam. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a quite definite German reason of state. 

I am grateful.

Beatrix von Storch, July 6, 2023, Assisted Suicide

German Bundestag, July 6, 2023, Plenarprotokoll 20/115, pp. 14083-14084. 

Frau President. Ladies and gentlemen. 

The Federal Constitutional Court in 2020 declared the ban on commercial promotion [geschäftsmäßigen Förderung] of self-killing to be null. Pandora’s Box was thereby opened. 

To declare suicide to be an act of personal autonomy leads us, in my firm conviction, to a terrible and deadly path. The Netherlands have gone before us in this way. The result is devastating: In 2021, 7,666 deaths by assisted suicide, and in that regard overwhelmingly by means of killing on demand [Tötung auf Verlangen]. That is 4.5 percent of all deaths there, 10 percent more than in the previous year, ten times more than traffic deaths. Calculated for Germany, that would be 34,000, three times more than presently. 

When the assisted suicide law was decided on in the Netherlands, it was about extreme cases in which people were severely ill, without a perspective of survival. Now it is not only about incurable illness, it is ever more about physically healthy people who still have a long life ahead of them who actually need and seek assistance. 

Kingston University made a study in the Netherlands. There, people with mental handicap and autism are legally killed. The study uncovered 39 such cases from 2012 to 2021 by means of a random sample of 900 from 60,000 cases. If that is calculated for Germany, then that would be 11,500 people in Germany, mentally handicapped and autistic, who would have been killed. A particularly tragic example from the study: A young man in his 20s who named the reason for his death wish: Social isolation. He wanted to die because he was lonely. 

The circle of those affected thereby becomes almost limitless. In surveys of socio-economic panels, 42 percent of Germans declare that they feel lonely. The Dutch psychiatrist Dr. Bram Sizzo explains the motivation of people seeking assistance for suicide. I cite: 

They believe this will be the end of their problems and the end of the problems of their families.

That means, they take their own lives because they do not want to be a burden on their families. That is terrifying. 

The draft laws put forward emphasize that the suicide should result from one’s own accord as an autonomous decision. They thus see entirely the danger that people take their own life under social pressure. I do not believe that they will prevent that; not one of the drafts. Against social pressure helps no double consultation obligation and no remark on a consultation document. Precisely in times of crisis, the pressure grows on the old and sick – not only on them, but on them especially – to be a burden on no one. We will have very many old and sick without families and very many more crises. 

The Chancellor has spoken for more respect. The reality appears otherwise. A frequent headline in the spring was “Housing Emergency in Germany: Pensioners Live Too Grandly”. Regensburg University has proposed forcing the pensioners into smaller residences by increasing the rental prices, and in Berlin the Berlin Church Institute has shown the door to 110 seniors. 

And added to that: The entire infrastructure of supervision, counseling and care of the old, the sick and those needing assistance, and of physically and mentally ill people, finds itself in an existential crisis. Care homes in great numbers are going insolvent. In Hesse, 25 percent closed this year. 60 percent of hospitals are in a business imbalance; many will close. The local provision for old and ill people is already bad and is becoming much worse. The emergency is growing. The average wait time for a therapy place for people in psychological distress amounts to five months. What will be the consequences if, in view of the crisis in care and health provision, it will be simpler to receive a nearby, open-ended [ergebnisoffene] suicide consultation than a care or therapy place? Before we strengthen the suicide prevention, you want to be concerned with open-ended suicide consultation. 

These are not my values. We should live our lives in freedom and responsibility before God. The beginning and end of life lie alone in the Hand of God. In that, I believe. 

Many thanks.

Jürgen Braun, January 27, 2023, Persecution of Christians

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/83, pp. 9922-9923.

Herr President. Right honorable ladies and gentlemen. Dear colleagues.

“A message written in blood to the nation of the cross” was the title of a video which the “Islamic State” published on February 15, 2015. It showed the beheading of 21 mostly Coptic Christians on the Libyan seashore. The Catholic writer Martin Mosebach has dedicated a book to the 21 martyrs. Mosebach considered this video – cite:

to be a picture of enmity…which in the Western world actually appeared to be overcome following the victory over Hitler – unconditional and uncompromising enmity; enmity which can only end with the annihilation of one of the two enemies.

This act was no single incident. That this and other mass murders were at all possible is also a consequence of Western policy. What Barack Obama and the Merkel government concerted to euphemize as an “Arab Spring” was in the end nothing other than a victory march of Islamism

            Thomas Rachel (CDU/CSU): Shameless!

which cost thousands of human lives.

The scorn and persecution of Christians is on the daily order of almost all Islamic countries. The murderers commit their acts not seldom targeted on Christian holy days; and that, worldwide: Christmas 2011, Nigeria: Islamic attack on a church, 37 people murdered; Palm Sunday, 2017, Egypt: Islamic bomb attack on two churches, 45 people murdered; Easter Sunday 2019, Sri Lanka: Islamic bomb attacks on three churches, more than 300 people murdered – that is just a tiny selection from an endlessly long series of murders. Despite this, there is still no remembrance day against hatred of Christians. That, we want to change [Drucksache 20/5368].

“Islamophobia” is a combat term of the Iranian terror master Khomeni. Yet there are three days of remembrance or action alone against this so-called “Islamophobia”: Of the UN, of the EU and in Germany. All of these remembrance days have the purpose of drumming into us that Moslems especially suffer under persecution. In that regard, Moslems are most persecuted not by some other religion, but primarily by Moslems of other orientations within Moslem states.

Götz Frömming (AfD): That is so!

The Islamic hatred of Christians is as old as Islam, and it claims countless human lives.

That this state of affairs is scarcely established in the people’s consciousness is not least to be  ascribed to the political-media complex. Yet hostility to Christians also enters where there is no state persecution of Christians, not least in Europe. The excesses of Islamic hostility to Christians reach us also: In France, the Interior Ministry alone in 2021 counted more than 800 anti-Christian criminal acts of which around 150 were spoliations of church buildings. France threatens to become a Menetekel. What is usual there will also overflow into neighboring countries like Germany. Just this week, an Islamist again committed an attack in a church – in a Spanish church: He murdered a sacristan and wounded a priest.

The German-Israeli author Chaim Noll deems that Europe needs to watch over its churches as we now already need to watch over our synagogues. The Isis beheading video ends with a view which shows the sea drenched with the blood of Christians. Mosebach writes of that – cite:

Many perpetrators of political violence in the past 100 years have hoped that a new world and new rectitude would come forth from streams of blood   

In regards these perpetrators of violence, it is primarily a matter of communists. There are still today Communist states. In China, North Korea and Cuba, we encounter in any case massive persecution of Christians.

Yet the political-media complex is not interested in solidarity with our brothers in faith throughout the world. Instead, it participates in the hostility to Christians, somewhat like Claudia Roth demanding the removal of the Bible verse from the cupola of the Berliner Stadtschloss.

            Peter Heidt (FDP): That must come!

In that regard, scarcely any religion is so peace-loving as Christianity with its rejection of worldly vengeance. Thus, religious minorities live nowhere so unmolested as in Christian countries. It is time that we demand such a freedom from fear [Unbelligtsein] for Christians worldwide.  

            Rasha Nasr (SPD): That you happen today to put such a motion! A disgrace!

Beatrix von Storch, November 9, 2022, Anti-semitism

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/65, pp. 7406-7407.

Herr President. Ladies and gentlemen.

Who speaks of anti-semitism in the year 2022 cannot be silent on the most dangerous anti-semitic movement in western Europe, the BDS movement. Which has a key function. It is the dirty link between the leftist and Moslem anti-semitism of intellectuals, artists, of Greta Thunberg and Claudia Roth, and the violence-prone Moslem anti-semitism of Hezbollah and Hamas.

            Timon Gremmels (SPD): That is unbelievable!

            Saskia Esken (SPD): Herr President!

The title of this discussion is “…To Remember Means to Act”. So let us remember: The Bundestag has passed one resolution for BDS and one against anti-semitism, all without any measurable effect.  

            Saskia Esken (SPD): Herr President!

The anti-semitism resolution demands legal consequences for foreigners, hence deportation for anti-semitism. That has not happened a single time.

            Lamya Kaddor (Greens): That is unworthy! Honestly!

The BDS resolution says that the BDS movement is to receive no more space and no financial means. Culture Minister Claudia Roth in her vote declaration of 17 May 2019 expressly rejected that. As long as Germany is afforded such a Culture Minister, the fight against anti-semitism is a farce; in the best case a farce, rather actually a mockery of the victims.

            Timon Gremmels (SPD): That is unbelievable! You mock the victims! You!

Let us come to the action. If one wants to achieve something against the Judenhass, one should take a peek at the country which is the only one in which Jews feel safe since Merkel’s refugee crisis of 2015,

Filiz Polat (Green): You are nevertheless the extended arm of the anti-semitic                    conspiracy here in the Bundestag!

feel less assailed than before Merkel’s refugee crisis. That is Hungary. The European Union in its second large inquiry in 2018 questioned 16,000 Jews in western Europe. The result is clear: The portion of Jews who, for example, have fear of violent attacks in Hungary was halved to under 30 percent between 2012 and 2018. In Germany in the same time frame this quota increased to over 60 percent. According to an inquiry of the European Union, over 60 percent of Jews have fear of attacks. The portion of Jews who were in fact victims of attack has in Hungary receded to 17 percent and in Germany climbed by approximately one-third to almost 30 percent – almost 30 percent of all Jews in Germany are victims of attacks. Rabbi Slomo Köves said that Hungary’s good example should be made use of by the entire EU. Merkel’s colorful country is ever more dangerous for Jews, and Orban’s decidedly Catholic Hungary is for Jews ever more safe. Or, as in December 2017 the left-liberal Israeli newspaper Haaretz headlined – I cite word for word: “Hungary is Keeping Jews Safe by Keeping Muslims Out” – end citation.

Instead of slandering Hans-Georg Maaßen, our leftist climate terrorists around Lisa Neubauer should devote themselves to the anti-semitism in their climate sect. “Climate Intifada from Hamburg to Gaza”, that was the battle cry. One certainly need not know more. These Green climate spinners are ideologically lost, extremist, and also anti-semitic. We should stick them all in some hollow tree stump where they can disturb no one and can no longer kill.

            Timon Gremmels (SPD): Shame on you!

“To Remember” and “To Act” hang over this debate today. You are in the government and could act, yet you will again do nothing. When the AfD governs, we will deport Judenhass and Islamists and allow no more in,

            Britta Haßelmann (Green): The AfD will never govern!

we will close the mosques of hatred, ban the BDS movement and thwart the foreign financing of mosques. And where the AfD governs, the cry of the muezzin in our cities will grow silent.

Many thanks.

            Sebastian Hartmann (SPD): Shame on you!

            (Cries from the Linke: Nazi speech!)
