Fight against anti-Semitism - CDU and SPD in favor of a ban on the Hamas triangle
CDU and SPD in the Berlin House of Representatives are advocating for a ban on the so-called Hamas triangle. "The inverted red triangle is used by the banned Islamic terrorist organization Hamas as a symbol, with which they mark their enemies and victims," the factions of both parties stated.
It is an immediate threat for Jews and Jews, as well as for all people who advocate for the freedom and security of Israel. "The Berlin government coalition of CDU and SPD urges the federal government to propose a bill to ban the use of the Hamas triangle as soon as possible."
SPD: The red triangle is a threat to people in Berlin
"We must continue to clearly oppose the terrorist organization Hamas and its symbols. The red triangle is a threat to people in Berlin, who are specifically targeted with it," warned the SPD faction's spokesperson on interior policy, Martin Matz.
His colleague from the CDU, Burkard Dregger, explained that Hamas sympathizers use the red triangle to specifically mark Jewish people and institutions, and thereby encourage attacks on them. "This is not only an intolerable threat to the affected persons, but an attack on the fundamental values of the Federal Republic of Germany."
The discussions about the ban on the Hamas triangle in the Berlin House of Representatives have sparked concerns about conflicts arising from racism-related issues. The SPD and CDU parties are predominantly focusing on the use of the symbol by Hamas, which is deemed as a threat to Jews and Israeli supporters. Martin Matz, the SPD's interior policy spokesperson, highlighted the red triangle as a dangerous symbol specifically targeted towards Jews and related institutions in Berlin, potentially inciting attacks. Burkard Dregger from the CDU emphasized that this threat not only endangers the targeted individuals but also attacks the fundamental values of Germany, such as tolerance and equal rights. The issue of anti-Semitism within this context has gained significant attention in Germany, notably in the House of Representatives and beyond.
