Yanis Varoufakis BANNED by Germany's Interior Ministry from carrying out any political activity in Germany.
They're so desperate to silence anyone who dares speak out against Germany's complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
But DiEM25 and
@mera25_de
will never be silenced!
This is what students in Munich found written next to the entrance to their school yesterday morning.
Silence from German politicians. Silence from German mainstream media.

This week, we spoke with Iris Hefets, who in mid-October was detained by police in Berlin while staging a lone protest in which she held up a sign that read “As an Israeli Jew: Stop the genocide in Gaza”.
Yesterday, for the same reason, Iris was arrested once again.
BREAKING
German police are now arresting people outside the building where the event was taking place. Those arrested include Udi Raz from Jewish Voice for Peace.
Disgusting behaviour from the police, but unfortunately not surprising!

He must be released. Or else there can be no justice.

This is Berlin police stomping out vigil candles for Palestine last evening.
According to witnesses in the same demonstration, a Jewish reporter was also pepper sprayed and a 4-year-old was shoved to the ground by police.
This is scandalous.
Ursula von der Leyen is an embarrassment to the people of Europe, and we demand her immediate resignation.

We will not sit idly and watch our governments support a genocide.
Remember not only the US and the EU’s crimes, but also their hypocrisy.
Fake tears in a press conference for the killing of innocent Ukrainians. A shrug and a dismissive “innocent people will be hurt” when Palestinians are being massacred.
The German police have stormed the building of the Palestine Congress and turned off the electricity supply.
Proof that fascists no longer need to be in government to be in power!

This is a new, incredible level of depravity from the Israeli government.
Wearing yellow patches to the United Nations to justify committing a genocide is a revolting desecration of the memory of the Holocaust.

Germany's Interior Ministry has issued a “Betätigungsverbot” against me, a ban on any political activity. Not just a ban on visiting Germany but also from participation via Zoom. Here is the speech whose publication caused this ban. Judge for yourselves!
As pro-Palestine rallies spread, this German MP from the ruling bloc suggests stripping non-EU nationals of their right to protest.
Irony dies a thousand deaths as these self-proclaimed “democracy defenders” increasingly embrace the authoritarianism they claim to oppose.

Israel has ordered over one million people to evacuate Gaza, in 24 hours, with nowhere to go.
We are witnessing full-scale ethnic cleansing unfold with the unwavering support of Western leaders and media.
Keir Starmer is a dishonest politician who serves the British oligarchy and has no respect for democracy. His aversion to Jeremy Corbyn – who stands for opposite values – is no wonder. But to stop him from representing his constituents is a travesty.
Our solidarity with Jeremy.
Julian Assange is free!
As a founding member of DiEM25, his release is hugely important for press freedom and for us.
Fighting for justice, no matter the odds, is crucial. We must all continue to work tirelessly for the liberation of ALL political prisoners worldwide.

Let us never forget that the EU's first reaction to this crisis was to try to suspend all aid to Palestinians—from which Hamas doesn't receive one cent—punishing an estimated 1,000,000 children in need of humanitarian assistance.
The EU is morally bankrupt.

Finnish PM Sanna Marin tells the

What she means is the perpetuation of a conflict that causes immeasurable suffering to Ukrainians. Only one thing can prevent that: a diplomatic solution that immediately stops the bloodshed.
A Jewish woman surrounded and taken away by German policemen who see it fit to lecture her on antisemitism.
This is how the German government “protects” Jewish life.
Israel's defence minister announces a siege of Gaza. “There is no electricity, there is no food, there is no water”.
Over 2,300,000 people live in the Gaza Strip, 47% of which are children.
