[Salon] Not every German public figure supports Israel’s genocide!



Not every German public figure supports Israel’s genocide!

The actor Dieter Hallevorden is a name known to everyone in Germany. For decades he was THE ACTOR whom you saw on television. He also played in prize winning movies. At age 88, he is the Intendant of three drama theaters and is on the stage nearly every evening.

Now in his video poem Gaza Gaza Hallervorden unexpectedly has taken a position on the side of the Palestinian people.

 The leading German media initially reacted with disbelief, then aggressively, because Germany's most popular theater man is a swing voter from the center: In the last election campaign, he campaigned for the CDU, previously also once for the Liberals and earlier for Willy Brandt's Ostpolitik.
 In a very short time, his Gaza video had over 8 million hits. UN Special Envoy Professor Dr. Jean Ziegler has just sent him "solidarity greetings" on behalf of Antonio Guterres and defended the artist from the media accusation of making "anti-Semitic" arguments: "Your text is based entirely on UN resolutions!"
