BERLIN - Every day I must review my conclusions and judgements regarding  the Gaza events. The killings and kidnappings of October 7 were bloody crimes which should never be applauded or condoned. All demands that the kidnap victims be returned safely are fully legitimate.

Not the best article as it’s mainly meant to appeal to liberals, as I was told recently, and convince those sitting on the fence. People’s World does this from time to time as it has 2 million subscribers, at least, so the audience is much broader. Hopefully, you’ll understand, though I know many will criticize this article, rightfully for certain things.

Victor Grossman was someone that defected to the GDR (or DDR) and defended the GDR/DDR as well as the wider Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries.

For the record, I do not believe that what happened on October 7th was reported accurately at all.

    Sure, anti-semitism needs to be combatted, but did anyone ever say it didn’t? I could understand if they even mentioned any instance of anti-semitic attacks, but they didn’t even do that…?

    I’m getting a very ALM vs BLM kinda vibe.

      The article is meant to ask, basically, fence-sitters to join the fight and basically change their minds.

      I’ve seen anti-Semitic attacks rise, but obviously, Islamophobia has also risen.

      I think they didn’t mention anti-Semitic attacks because this was mainly about the Palestininan people and partly how “anti-Semitism” is used as camouflage for Israel’s actions.
