I am sick & disgusted by Roger Watersโ€™ obsession to belittle and trivialize the Shoah & the sarcastic way in which he delights in trampling on the victims, systematically murdered by the Nazis. In Germany. Enough is enough. Holocaust trivilisation is criminalized across the EU.

Roger Waters gig in Berlin. Is there anything more antisemitic than using Anne Frank as a prop on a German stage while prancing around in a Nazi uniform attacking Jews?

Attacks and anti-Israel graffiti on synagogues and Jewish premises are not an expression of political opinion or of solidarity, but outright #antisemitism . No conflict anywhere in the world may trigger violence on European streets. We stand by our #Jewish neighbours. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Der vereitelte Anschlag auf die Synagoge in #Hagen an #JomKippur lรคsst einen erschaudern. Erinnerungen an Halle vor 2 Jahren werden wach. Die Feierlichkeiten mussten abgesagt werden, weil Juden in Europa wieder mal bedroht sind. ๐Ÿ˜ก Viel Kraft der jรผdischen Gemeinde vor Ort. ๐Ÿ™Œ

#aalstcarnaval Normalising #antisemitism on European streets opposes EU values & reminds us of our darkest past. In times when people are being murdered for antisemitic & xenophobic ideologies #Hanau #Halle all who cherish democracy should act against dehumanisation of any group!

This is what I said last year (5.3.19) on behalf of the @EU_Commission . This year as Vice-President also in charge of fighting #Antisemitism , itโ€™s clear to me: The #aalstcarnival is a shame. It needs to stop. No place for this in Europe.

The @IHRA_news definition is not restricting free speech. You can say what you want within the law. But you have to live with the fact that others also use of their right to free speech and call antisemitic what is antisemitic.
