Caption: The anti-Israel network, Samidoun, is banned in Germany. It is considered "extremist" and "anti-Semitic".
In Germany, it is classified as "anti-Semitic and extremist". The Palestinian network, Samidoun, which is also already active, is now banned. On 12 October, the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (65) announced that Samidoun would be banned. The ban has been in effect since November.
"Anti-Semitism has no place in Germany, (and) we will fight it with all our might", " said Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (53) explaining the measure. The Samidoun association is spreading anti-Israel and anti-Semitic propaganda.as an international network under the cover of a "solidarity" organization for prisoners in various countries.
Samidoun "glorifies" various foreign terror organizations, among others, Hamas, Faeser added. The holding of spontaneous "celebrations" in reaction to the Hamas attacks on Israel showed the "anti-Semitic, inhumane world view of Samidoun in a particularly disgusting way." Samidoun supporters have celebrated the attack on Israel in Germany and handed out sweets.
Also already active in Switzerland
With the ban, the group has to reorient itself and could, therefore, come into Switzerland. The leading figures of the organization met in Switzerland before the ban in Germany, the NZZ am Sonntag revealed. The tracks lead to the (French-speaking) part of Switzerland, to Basel, and to Zurich. About 40 Samidoun supporters met in October in a Geneva cafe-among them leading persons like Mohammed Khatib, who often appears as a speaker for the group. According to an investigation by NZZ am Sonntag, Samoidoun is involved in fundraising and art exhibitions.
Samidoun is known for its Jew-hatred. Videos of a demonstration show how the crowd chanted, "Death to Jews". Last year, supporters met in Basel for a counter-event for the 125th anniversary of the first Zionist Congress.
Observed by German Office for Protection of the Constitution
The German Office for Protection of the Constitution sees Samidoun as a support network for the EU and USA terror organization -designated "Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine". Samidoun, therefore, is considered a front organization for terror. Israel wants to get rid of them, and they are, among others, responsible for the attack on an El-Al plane in Kloten (Zurich Airport) in 1969 with several deaths. According to NZZ-am Sonntag, the organization also functions as a bridge builder for radical leftists.
In Germany, the ban could lead to emotion on the streets, police authorities warn. The ban, however, is an important signal. "It enables the security authorities to take even more decisive action against any activity on German soil and thus dry up the breeding ground for hate and terror, " says the Berlin Police Union. The police will prepare in the coming days for possible effects of the ban.
In Switzerland, there is as yet no ban on the group. Samidoun can organize itself unhindered. The implementation of the ban seems to give additional impetus to "Alternative Switzerland". Several Swiss politicians want to change this.
