reality but on that much odd video we received just recently shows how bought destroyed and. kidnapping by armed groups is unfortunately quite common across parts of nigeria in this case a was there a ransom paid for their release. not all come fun mission up on him in a crown some but usually if we move from day to ball goes to the. boys and then decide one and even did def she goes all of them run some was speed by a government so this one is still going to get an exception and i'm sure there are some husband pit duct was why. to long to even get death released because somebody puts us in it enough to release on bail we did it in mid and i don't group trying to dump him onto the government had to intensify
1:04 pm
a negotiation before getting damn. and now in the hands of the government they do mention those other cases of kidnappings in nigeria why is it that we see this happening so frequently in the country. several reasons related to this one this group of people the headsmen who initiated and must time my and most of the kidnapping scene nigeria complained of been neglected complicit appalled by to complain about injustice so that there had been kidnapping for ransom and do wanted attention from the government which adel unable to get that attention so by attacking schools now they are changing their strategy and definitely equipment is concerned when attacked school more than one attack automatically nigerians. villages because even as we get this release
1:05 pm
for people who are shot dead in december. istead where is jewish and where over 6 years but then with 3 with little or no attention. to the others mostly interest in a bridge and many thanks for your reporting. thank you. and in a separate kidnapping in central nigeria security forces have launched a rescue operation to find more than 300 kidnapped schoolgirls taken on friday gunmen a struck in a nighttime raid on a boarding school and various presidents says the government will not give in to blackmail if the scene of the latest mass kidnapping of nigeria's children gunmen forced their way into government girls secondary school in john gave back in the country's north west. nearby residents say the shooters fired constantly forcing people to cower in their homes the kidnappers took off with more than 300
1:06 pm
girls police and military have launched a joint search and rescue operation. botolf . i was called in and. put the sharp rise in kidnappings in this region usually for ransom the authorities are under pressure to act the governor of niger state has ordered the closure of all secondary schools in the state. nigeria's security forces are overstretched mostly fighting the militant group boko haram in the north east of the country still they promise to do everything possible to find the missing students but for the hundreds of parents waiting for word of their children and praying that they're still alive the government's actions simply aren't enough. meanwhile saudi arabia has hit back at us claims that crown prince mohammed bin
1:07 pm
solomon likely approved the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi in 2018 the biden administration has released an intelligence report that had been classified until now still despite the findings washington has stopped short of imposing sanctions directly on the prince the saudi government says it completely rejects the cia's find. and old report making new headlines it was originally suppressed by the trump administration but 3 years later its declassified its conclusion clear for the world to see u.s. intelligence says it's likely that saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin some ordered the capture or killing of the journalist jamal khashoggi. but the pentagon is pulling no punches saudi arabia remains a strategic partner in the region. we have to be courageous enough. as
1:08 pm
friends to speak candidly and. and to make clear our concerns. about the rule of law and about civil and human rights even with friends and partners. the report doesn't detail any new evidence but stresses the crown prince has control and decision making he has always denied knowing about the plot. was lured to the saudi consulate in turkey there he was killed and dismembered by his team sent from riyadh the saudi government eventually amid killing but blamed it on a roku security team. the public naming of mohammed bin some man as complicit in the killing will set a new tone for the relationship between washington and riyadh. but by an administration has imposed sanctions on dozens of saudi officials but stopped short of targeting the prince. unlike his predecessor u.s.
1:09 pm
president joe biden chose not to suppress this highly critical report earlier we spoke to our washington correspondent and we asked him what this all means for the u.s. administration's stance on saudi arabia moving forward. the report is not new it was actually already finished quite some time ago and then withheld by the trump administration congress at the time altered this report to be published well trump ignored the ruling by congress he had a very friendly position towards saudi arabia here in particular looking at the arms sales the united states is exporting arms to saudi arabia joe biden wants to review this relationship and other relationships between the united states and other countries in the middle east so saudi arabia is one of the u.s. his closest allies that the by the administration is now accusing the saudi crown prince of murder all the washington polls journalist to jamal khashoggi that will
1:10 pm
certainly have big implications for their relationship. fun and all of their well the u.s. relationship could also be changing with other countries in the region syria is condemning a u.s. airstrike on its territory representing the 1st major military action called by president joe biden and washington says a targeted facilities used by iranian backed militias inside syria and is sending a message to iran that it cannot act with impunity. and ordered the strikes in retaliation for rocket attacks against u.s. personnel in iraq and it made february syrian authorities say at least 17 people were killed and insists the u.s. has broken international law u.s. secretary of defense lloyd austin and defended the move. it was good that we were there but you know we. were packed with it or did we. lose sorry. good good good good good good restraint.
1:11 pm
secretary of defense lloyd austin there let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines at this hour in myanmar local media say a woman was shot and killed during a crackdown on protesters. well he's escalated their crowd dispersal measures on saturday firing rubber bullets tear gas and water cannons and stray sions have been taking place since the military arrested elected leaders and seized power 4 weeks ago. 400 prisoners have escaped in a jailbreak in haiti that claimed the lives of 25 people when he says told reporters they saw gunmen shoot at guards before the inmates fled local media say the jails director and a powerful gang leader are among those killed authorities say some 60 prisoners have now been recaptured. and thousands of pro-democracy activists have taken to the streets of algeria demonstrators are calling it the return of the iraq movement the campaign that helped
1:12 pm
a host of longtime president abdelaziz which of 2 years ago the government has freed dozens of activists who are being held in prisons. and the european union has agreed to develop a covert 1000 vaccine passport that could allow people more freedom to travel again just in time for the summer holiday season this is one of the measures that was up for a debate at a virtual summit of leaders aimed at better coordinating their pandemic strategy so much sunshine and salty it sounds like paradise but not for the holiday destinations in southern europe that have been hit hard by the pandemic they want a vaccine possible to enable more tourists to flock to the locations but german chancellor angela merkel says politicians may still need to while it is definitely right to plan this for the future but it shouldn't mean that you need one to travel the political decisions still have to be taken this. vaccination is under way but
1:13 pm
slowly the prospect of a passport already has people dreaming of far off destinations politicians say that there must be proof that vaccinated people unknown infectious. then just to give me if that's a given that there will be no reason to restrict basic freedoms and we have to return those that is very clear kind of fight we shouldn't raise false hopes and we should appeal to people's sense of solidarity so that they fall of the social distancing rules we simply don't know yet how long immunity will last after vaccination is. no longer just troubling virtually but really crossing borders the tourism sector is pinning its hopes on the digital id as a passport back to profitability. of the u.s. september we made suggestions to the federal government for a test concept for travel still isn't one that we should be moving more quickly and not have to wait another 4 months for digital passports who are going to get drawn into. the european union says developing this kind of passport could take 3 months
1:14 pm
months during which travel dreams will keep on growing. and to the u.s. now where 2 french bulldogs belonging to the pop star lady gaga have been returned to los angeles police days after they were stolen at gunpoint thieves a shot and wounded the dog walker on wednesday before escaping with 2 of god's 3 dogs and car. had offered a $500000.00 reward for her pet safe return police say a woman brought them in and harms. and earlier spoke with hollywood entertainment reporter jessica sorrow and asked her if the kidnappers appear to have specifically targeted lady gaga as dawgs. you know that is something that people are questioning it's possible that maybe they watch ryan fisher and they keep a close eye on him they know his route that he takes but french bulldogs are dogs that go for anywhere from $10000.00 there are dogs that go for $100000.00 even so
1:15 pm
it could be financial reasons it could be breeding reasons or it could be that they didn't know that it was lady gaga dogs as of right now it hasn't come out if lady gaga has paid that $500000.00 but she was very serious when she said that she was willing to pay $500000.00 she was willing to do really whatever she could make sure that she could get her dogs back so i'm sure once they figure everything out she's going to get that money out. some good news to take you through your week and that's all for me for now it stay tuned for doc film coming up next. imagine how many push all floods are thrown out in the more climate change the very awful story this is my place to wait for one week. we're going to really get it. we still have time to an ongoing.
1:16 pm
process. something i hear a lot is. coming even which has been i am a. jewish person. it's not something i really keep secret. i just say i'm a jewish goes makes many people say i'm jewish geminids others say i'm a german jesus. i thought it was wrong to say i'm with you as of the month if someone says. it sounds kind of extreme can you can say it like that i don't like the way the term sounds either so mostly i say i. mean to.
1:17 pm
you can say jew quite normally i'm a jew definitely. not a bad word i'm definitely a jew i'm a jew so. do you do you jew. you must don't act like a jew. anti semitic is. do you would you jews. these days but they could how many people in germany are actually personally acquainted with any young jews real people in the real life not just figures from history. must have been playing basketball for 7 years with the francophones as of now i'm a coach that. my copy is
1:18 pm
a jewish club and i think it's also very open to normal jews. to. feel free when i'm playing sports i can just let go of everything that happens during the day because i could imagine playing someplace really big in the n.b.a. scores in the n.b.a. to feel. like could my favorite teams of oklahoma city. because i'm in the 11th grade and high school. because i didn't ever since i was really little i've tried to spend as much time as i can with children so no i babysit feel . when i took when i'm babysitting my daily routine it's like i go over to the child's house and when the parents leave i try to make sure the child feels secure and safe even though their parents are going out for
1:19 pm
a walk in is kinda out of if the child wants to draw something that i draw with the child but at the same time i try to teach them something i might say hey you credit this really nicely but so did i as well that way the child learns that she's not always the best and that we've both made a good towing company does that on my. cause you know back defect from berlin right between the rainbow shops and fetish stores . living here in this environment i have to say coming out as a clear person pretty easy to talk. about right now i'm still in school is gonna fly like meeting up with my friends and i write a lot i really like writing i'm very political and i read a lot i'm part of the feminist reading group that meets every 2 weeks.
1:20 pm
because i took music losses when i was at michigan since high school music taste i'm more into rap. with rap you can really let it all hang out. because. that's something i'm good at. just because some people have a hard time feeling that being slim is a superstition but with me i want to climb that mountain. right to the top vincit acting much as i should that's how it is. i was the only jew in my class actually the only one in the whole grade they'd say hitler this hitler that and what's it like being a jew this is you would say we're going to gas you this.
1:21 pm
kind they sent around. south korea that's where they made fun of gassing. me they praised. the companies that said i'm going then you hear this one sentence this one little joke and you want to jump out of your skin because for me you think joke isn't little. just cause half year i cook a lot and i like trying new things for sheen include all kinds of dishes from all different cuisines. cooking is totally relaxing for me because i basically started because my father always cooked the same thing and one of the 1st day she learned to cook with it on tomato sauce with chicken tomatoes also them and then at some point i was like ok this has to change i'm taking over. as
1:22 pm
a mission he doesn't know every jew eats the same way although there are fixed the dietary laws he could home cash route that's what it's called kosher food to do we're not allowed to mix meat with milk for example is not at all not even on the same item 10 it has. been a system not 100 percent religious was published people make myself a chicken breast and i might slap some cheese on top is that let it melt us is true . and what's important to me because it's the law i can understand the best is that in judaism it's forbidden to eat insects all the fruits and vegetables you eat you have to check them 1st is everything clean all they really know insects like i can totally understand that i don't want to eat bugs. here and also have a look that means i can't just go outside a coffee but i'll drink coffee in a cafe for example sprite things like that some people would say this restricts me
1:23 pm
and. you know you don't have to be religious to be jewish i'm jewish because my mother is jewish and because my father is jewish so all the songs. become my religion teacher is probably crying somewhere right now because i don't remember everything i learned in all those years to find out about holidays and so on i tunes father stupendous carries no yacht steak no way i can somehow be more cherish. no he was born i live in munich i was also born here i'm very active in the jewish community i work with young people and i also work part time in an israeli restaurant my carriage of my enjoy a waitress they were because like i meet so many different kinds of people people come and most of them are trying israeli cuisine for the 1st time i asked molly straight israeli cuisine is super diverse and then they want to know what is kosher
1:24 pm
wives of what is kosher food was who is the restaurant culture or. as a student to judaism plays a big role in my life it's my roots it's always with me it's something i carry within myself and i wear a star of david for the history of my family it's always there with me really your religion isn't such a big part of it because i just didn't grow up religious from for me the special thing about judaism is that it's both cultural and a religious affiliation with people deal with this in very different ways some people feel they belong only in one group some of the other only religious or whatever for me it's both bibles. through. the use and you can see him again religious and you know the suits know
1:25 pm
a lot more about the whole thing than we do to a lot of for example i've never read the torah and all the other things you do if you're a religious jew like you so you can mark. my real hobby i would say is ballet i do ballet i started pretty recently but i like it very much and i love swimming and that's great here with the lake. again and finding time for meaning we have a friend of the family who is also jewish as when he visits us we celebrate shabat and things like that and like candles but we try to do it more often but it doesn't always happen and by and because part of our family is christian we also celebrate easter and christmas by not really big celebrations but well kind of. shooting to see.
1:26 pm
if this deal also dogs number but this is the orthodox synagogue with they say they're the central orthodox synagogue and for when there's these it's really big and very old it's beautiful very high ceilings lots of decorative elements just magnificent up just it. was that's where i grew up. this is the author and them is brooklyn and i know this is the place where i can really leave my worries at the door it's in neutral so i hope in judaism the prayer is in hebrew and that really is like entering another world that you may need to own something like meditation perhaps and because for example as theoretically celebrated by all jews throughout the world i feel this strong connection on
1:27 pm
a human and i constant pants on there's this powerful feeling of togetherness because everyone is on well in theory says the same prayer in the same language in hebrew beatrice on and on the sabbath that feeling of them is beyond words on this is only 5 those. 2. disposed to be true of a song to me the best feeling of the whole week is on saturday on ship bats i know my phone is off all my devices are off and i can't watch netflix or any other series so i can really focus on the important things in life. when i spend time with my family i spend time with my friends and my neighbors and i don't have to think about schools from so i don't have to think about any problems and that's really a sense of freedom i had religion might restore it to me but by doing so it gives me the freedom to clear my mind. 'd of what you can be so with prayer i feel
1:28 pm
how it touches my soul which really touches my heart when we sing. meant for me to name it all still i wouldn't trade this moment for anything in the world. i mean 12th grade at the rocks cannot see i'm going to complete my high school diploma next year for just the truth my focus is science chemistry biology and math but i'm also interested in ancient languages like greek and latin my oral exam subject is history yeah those are my favorite subjects that. you wouldn't mind once they threw money on me they said because you like money so much marks again you get on i understood they thought i like money because i'm jewish and i said please never ever do that again.
1:29 pm
feeley you can t. he and his image become how many young people have experienced anti semitism don't want to go on camera because they don't want to be targeted to louvel who book anti semitism in schools in germany the friend says she has just really collected some examples. heard a classmate saying the holocaust never happened she intervened and asked him what he was saying the boy replied you should have been gassed along with the gazans on . live teach said to mark if all jews are like you then i can see where hitler was coming from. ever he was in the april 9th grade when his classmates told him to go to the gas chambers these like his relatives in.
1:30 pm
camos funk i'm 20 years old i'm from frankfurt i'm about to start school in berlin as a film student. writes in yeah i wrote the noise when i was 13 years old this was i started going to a new school i didn't know at the time that there might be anything wrong with saying that i was jewish or that it could be a problem in any way or and but i quickly noticed that my classmates thought it was funny to draw swastikas harking quite single and home to molyneux die and as soon as the word gas came up the whole class turned and looked at me was the cia dance because of me. i'm fine was going in the beginning it wasn't hurtful at all because i didn't understand it was god i didn't know that this was anti semitism and that it was actively directed against me as a jew he did this. is going on that's a huge have been
1:31 pm
a struggle. that i got around school that i was jewish yeah i think i was actually the only jew at the school governesses yes i can say i was bullied for being jewish by in the 7th grade and because my german was a little worse than it is now because not everyone has a birthmark like mine now and in the 7th grade that definitely makes a difference in 5 us also as if the 3 factors came together used to tell my birthmark the horse and russian. helped actually it is a so there's a cumulative langar that builds up with all those little things all those jokes and invited some point you've had it out of path and it goes bam bam month. you feel. you don't know what to do with yourself that's a big problem on the same course problem because it makes things develop that you don't even want to imagine forced him moved far and come or not now few months ago
1:32 pm
there was a situation that school where girls together with 2 boys called me a jew as an insult you didn't bloody tap as you took the term and used it in a negative way she said a lot of bad web is about and one cannot own and i was totally overwhelmed and upset when it happened manfred says complex for you feel completely alienated as mom you don't want to be who you are you wish you'd never been born as all this is that that's the terrible thing about racism anti-semitism whatever that it makes you dislike yourself zagged. as rich has really been one i grew up without a religious upbringing but we've always had. connection to the cynical cool with. oh i just started to really engage with. them and also it was a process and i gradually integrated more and more things into my everyday life so
1:33 pm
my school had to get used to the fact that i wasn't going to go to school on 2 ish holidays my friends had to get used to the fact that i can't go out partying with them on saturday didn't find out it wasn't an obvious choice for everyone from this dunston. after i came out is jewish it made the rounds in the school relatively quickly and against and sure did you want pretty soon everyone knew i was jewish his father son beside me i was presented a bit like a museum piece couldn't stick but people accepted it. delighted when i transferred to another school and almost when my own class knew that i was jewish and since you discipline. but the other classes didn't not. imposible time off in the school courtyard and i'd often hear expressions like don't act like a juvenile thing you don't be a chew fun fun sometimes i go over for friends of mine recover and say that's not
1:34 pm
cool don't do that roman is jewish i'm off as much then there was this look of shock won't we have jews here in school. over felt uncomfortable yes the word was used every day don't fear to call don't act like a jew on. your dog particularly better because i saw how the people who constantly said things like that i started to pay attention to what they were saying and the stomach was going to slip out they apologized for this because when it's in someone's vocabulary it's hard to stop or look once it's the swears the right answer stare. at this for the title must take dizziness i used to see it as a disadvantage to grow up in a small jewish community and then of there being i'm one of the few actual jews in essen huge figure mind is the jewish community here is very very small a 1000 people to my i would say that less than 10 percent of all people who live in
1:35 pm
essen have ever actually met a jew. and you can get a hand. 2 2 2 shops are supposed to be i studied acting and i work a lot with jewish communities all over germany but i was with youth groups and zones in general i would describe myself as an actor. yes one of them says now at the moment as i see having grown up in essen is a real advantage in cologne or berlin maybe i wouldn't stand out as much as i do here in essence and tour. gives. her. a little. in fact i'd be happy if people who live in essen watch this program because s n was actually one of the centers of jewish life in germany before world war 2. had the 3rd largest synagogue in germany until 938.
1:36 pm
as his'n was shaped by its jewish community for the whole of the 2nd world war that's not the case now and it's a shame but it doesn't mean it won't change in the future. when you do it soon you go how i'm jewish and the keep is part of me i wear it at home all the time i wear to synagogue why can't i wear to school i remember that day when i came to school wearing a kippah. orleans and the vice principal came up to me and said sam well i think it's great what you're doing but you know the school rules say no head coverings are allowed and i was like yeah but what about the headscarf you notice that and she said yes well the headscarf is different you don't have to wear keep up because i so i said it's actually very important to me that jewish
1:37 pm
life is also represented at the school you just leave because we have jewish students and the keeper is important to me and it's the jewish equivalent to the muslim headscarf and i'm going to wear it now and so close to and then the next day she came up to me and apologised and said how embarrassed she was and i just thought it was a funny moment you desire and i've had nothing but good experiences to go home and i was elected student representative with a few of us are going to keep up. the board for. the board to. see. says i avoid a lot of conflict situations because i'm jewish i don't look at it i don't wear a kippa except at weddings and i don't wear a star of david to try to break out the old guy or the food shop to buy my
1:38 pm
initial bond the phone once i was riding the train and i had my star of david on and an older man sat down across from me and surratt he got up immediately and sat somewhere else and kept looking at me very angrily from derek i must have a bizarre introduction. because axel uses a schmo with me. and asked me what he have to do 1st. in my stand up the right hand on the arm and right. this one. well and and so. and. i try to never hired my jewishness and i wear my star of david necklace opening
1:39 pm
hundreds of troops all around the world that there are situations where my mother asks me not to say i know that there have been problems where you're going could you please try not to attract attention to me it's not the 1st thing i say isn't it hello i'm jewish i kind of sit back and see what the situation is and yes unfortunately there have been times where i've put my star of david on the mighty ship to you know. i find it kind of sad you should actually be able to expect that as a chill you can live just like any other german does here in germany. we always have to have the police in front of the school i think it's not terrible but more ashamed i stayed on the spot our sports hall isn't in the school building and when we walk to the gym we always have to wait until the security and police are there. but it is a police have to walk us to the gym. and
1:40 pm
fribourg i want my keep are openly for a year that is without covering it up with a cap even when i was doing sports. actually i didn't even notice how the attacker followed me into the locker room i think and while i was busy doing something on my locker he grabbed me from behind and ripped off my keeper then he shouted this doesn't belong here you're dirty jew and so on. and he tried to tear up the keeper it didn't work so he spat on it and threw it in the trash free but then he said free palestine and spat on the ground and then he came up to me very close and threatened to beat me up there were other people in the locker room the whole time i turned to the other people in the row and we made eye contact and nobody said anything kind of us they didn't move an inch and that's what hurt the most big time same about my mother knows the truth. even i myself was once in
1:41 pm
a situation where i was put down and insulted in class jew you jewish which because i also have red hair or something and my eyes what hit me the most was not the insult but that the other 23 people just sat there and didn't say with one kind of vote because act. should an invention and i would like people to stand up and show some courage not just when it comes to people of the jewish faith but for people of all say. you shouldn't hide behind someone else or hide behind the crowd and say let the others do something so you should try to act as. the final part of a reporter asked me if the attacker was ethnically german yes i said i didn't want to talk about the nationality of the perpetrator why was i being asked to say yes it was imported anti semitism no it wasn't there's no such thing as imported
1:42 pm
anti-semitism anti semitism has never disappeared from history she's jews have been hated since the beginning of time most jewish holidays follow this pattern someone tried to kill us didn't work. for you just smile vanished and every time i'm asked about muslim at the summit as i saw him i say sorry but that's just an excuse to deflect responsibility to vent. love i see that nora tells the story of her brother in which the perpetrators none of him had an immigrant background all got away scot free that he and his 3 jewish friends were severely bullied so badly that they had to be picked up from school and all of them changed schools i think except for one or 2 and the fact that the kids who were doing the bullying didn't get kicked out of school they just weren't any serious consequence not the kind of stuff the consequence.
1:43 pm
of info to be asked i definitely think that the 1st reaction of all teachers and professionals should be to educate you should stop its 100 percent and explain to the stooges why it's wrong because that's the biggest problem i think they don't know why it's wrong if this is just a joke to them by the disease and that's. it. i think it would be a big mistake if the teachers just cut the person off or sends them out to. punish . the money and i think punishment it's not very productive in the end punishment just makes the hatred grow it creates even more negative associations. doesn't help people deal with the problem it just makes people feel strengthened in their conviction because especially at our age everyone wants to rebel we want to
1:44 pm
test. it comes not seen v i can't understand how the teachers can think there's no anti semitism at our school it's not a problem we don't need to talk about it with well we visited a concentration camp on the school hike so we've shown what the consequences of anti semitism are so they know about it. and then. they put from an east into a jewish students face and said to remind you. of the. losses they teach you go really angry today she said you know what i don't want people like you in my closet feel you behave yourself and cut it out with these actually semitic slows the room and the whole series please just leave the
1:45 pm
room just leave it alone and then the student was like i was just kidding. so well then everybody else was like you don't joke around with something like that that's gross. most of all and what my teacher did was completely right and i wish i still had classes with her because i really felt comfortable with her who just through the snow. several feet of mine over the years i've run into a lot of my classmates again by chance like i have more self-confidence and i talked to almost everyone about it and we discussed the issues after these direct conversations we shook hands they also apologized for what they said or did that's why i think education and direct discourse is definitely the right way to approach this should.
1:46 pm
but i knew during a discussion about israel is 6 foot tall boy sat next to each other and yelled at her that israelis do exactly the same thing to palestinians that the nazis did to the jews. and partly via. and once i was at a party and i was talking about how i go to a jewish school and i also said i'm jewish and so i was standing there with my girlfriend and a young guy and we were just talking about this stuff. and the 1st thing he said after i said i was jewish and he was all worked up was so what's your stand on israel. yeah what about israeli politics why is it like that. like i'm suddenly the israeli foreign minister i have to justify myself right away
1:47 pm
why are we doing this unless this is mrs this you plural of all it means has to find the best way. i have nothing to do with the state of israel i've never been there i cannot vote there i have no responsibility for the actions carried out there have been and i don't agree with everything they do so it's a shame that everything gets lumped together you know as an emphasis of also just assuming that i know everything about israel and about israeli politics it's pretty ridiculous you know. i think what happens in today's society is this yes people are critical of israel that's ok it's ok to say that it's not anti sematic but what's behind this criticism of israel is often a really hateful kind of anti-semitism as most. israelis demonized to think even conflated with the acts of the holocaust equated with the nazis they're not
1:48 pm
and that there is this term the israeli or the palestinian holocaust and the holocaust setting the mcquillan if you can't devise the holocaust like that. mattering his right and there was someone once we even called me a child i can assure you i've never killed anyone you have never killed a child. you think it's more anti-semitism is not just about wearing a kippah in public and having it ripped off and being spat on. was tough mismanagement. i think it depends on who you encounter for me at school i always had to explain myself and i always got these quite hopeful looks. oh. you're the 1st jewish person i've ever met his man.
1:49 pm
there are always people also in the 12th grade who treat you with kid gloves and then when them are shown they are really cautious and you can tell they're watching what they say he says if they think they might accidentally hurt your feelings and . just money and a certain kind of duma shouldn't be this fair of interacting we're not some exotics threatened with extinction i mean completely normal human beings if it's anything you're interested in just don't. it's cool i'll see you the same way i would if i were talking about soccer even so i like to play soccer yes it was someone asked me what my favorite team is and i know that fans of 1816 unic i know they won't like it when i say my favorite team is by and i sometimes think to myself in that situation be careful but i still talk to them normally the man with the puzzle on our eyes for she often but i can also understand that when there's no active jewish
1:50 pm
life going on around them but just memorials to destroyed synagogues and i think 3 commemorative events a year to the secular holocaust memorial day the jewish holocaust memorial day and november 9th then that's all people know about being jewish so i get that there's this feeling oh this is something different something on for milliards that's what's noises in the. day you must have been preaching on history cost we watched the film the boy in the striped pajamas and the teacher came over to me in front of the home class and she knelt down beside me on her and said yeah if it's too hard for you to watch this you can go outside and i found baths. oh i know that she meant well just maybe but it was this kind of pity and i find pity and i don't like as
1:51 pm
a tool says mark astonished. women i suppose you need to whenever you say something about judaism and people always think right away of the show on the holocaust and not of the culture itself and i think that's why people somehow get so uptight. the office time is off we fall into this victim relvar you often because it was something very terrible that happened in history right. i want to be reduced to the holocaust was that so maybe i am not the holocaust holocaust. interest of course we can't forget what happened as we did not at all on the other hand we aren't victims anymore and we're not the ones who experienced this and those were normal people who should have a normal place in everyday life shouldn't have
1:52 pm
a special status we should just be normal. so yes that's what i wanted to say but i didn't manage to put it so well. when. i heard. them but 12 spy and high p.r. and i've been helping out for 2 and a half years in the jewish community in munich tunnels i thought the great thing is that when i go there it feels like family i feel very very appreciated that. there's a good friend. that i respect i miss as a shock to this ng it's very empowering to know that you have a huge community behind you that's really there for you at the end of the day i come from in a bad marriage something bad has just happened i go there and somehow the feeling
1:53 pm
of my hose the tip it's just so kind of envelops me and there's an extremely strong sense of solidarity it's just the next few months here is nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to be afraid of by you can talk about anything for money because this is a place where you can be open and from where we've become a small family and i want to live. under the gun feeling something a lot of us take part in that you refer vision from that you're a vision takes place once a year each time in a different city i'm not instruct. the jury vision to. the fear of asian eyes the singing and dancing competition he now like e.s.c. figure efficient song contest with jewish communities this is video and tree because the new video you forgot yeah we made a music video. i think. i heard there most of it is huge each jewish community had to choose
1:54 pm
a video introducing their community and a theme. is good and it's about life cycles that is cycles in jewish life. circumcision is when you turn 13 and do you basically you're an adult and so basically everything that happens in a jewish life. and then you rather us we always rehearsed from all the way through and then you put money in. there. that. says our lives it's everything it's joy it's everything all at once when you stand there and there are 4 or 5000 people watching you and you think oh god.
1:55 pm
a month and you're already standing there with this microphone so you think to yourself in the building ok i have to finish this this and then the coolest thing is when people celebrate what you're doing and then you just can't stop because you just want to stay on stage because of you know that. if that's about a month it's not about winning it's more about seeing friends again for he does. one think it's a meeting place where you can really see your jewish you don't have to be afraid you don't have to hide you can be open and. really feel comfortable there always who. was. the voice of the idea is to embody the belief that we're just like anybody else we're not aliens or anything. that's what i'd wish for that nobody looks
1:56 pm
at you funny. there's definitely a new generation of the hold on and then you're going to marry young generation involved in our community mind. we have a lot to say and we want people to listen and. if you know me finishing going i wish would be to be more open to people and now the circle of friends is known jewish very doesn't matter what religion you're on your mobile simply among friends and among people recently grew up here it's our home too and we have to actively show you this because we don't all that the same other people come to see that way jewish we don't have we are jewish written on our foreheads. when i think of wantonly. my only wish for the future is to be able to be normal as a jew. i wish people didn't stare at girls with headscarves or boys with kid boss or whatever everyone should live like they want you know sort of live you know her
1:57 pm
. into the future what i would like to see is the other jewish life being real jewish life to which it's all about what really happens what makes people tick . well it's implicit in our t.v. soonish sleep at the end of the day we do have an active jewish life here in germany just as you for many people in mainstream society jews are simply a french group that always gets demeaning view and i think it's simply wrong to reduce that to just that would of able to view it. as needed. it's in our hands what we do with it is up to us and we can turn things around and show people it's been hey i'm jewish but i'm also a student and and i travel. and i cook and being jewish is one of the elements that makes me who i am. this is all that's our challenge i know it's
