Controversial (Palestinian) Culture Festival in Berlin against Israel - with public money

Open support of terror against Jews.
Publicly funded incitement to murder Jews.
In Berlin Germany, 2016.

This German article was google-translated.

http://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/umstrittenes-kulturfestival-in-berlin-gegen-israel-mit-oeffentlichen-geldern/14711762.html

The event program read still harmless: a month was the festival "After The Last Sky" Palestinian actors from drama, dance, music and visual arts provide a platform for exchange and encounter. But instead of a peaceful encounter of artists the festival fell in Kreuzberg Ballhaus Naunynstraße to rendezvous radical activists.

Approximately two weeks ago on Saturday, the penultimate day of the festival: In an event of detained Palestinians in Israel not only solidarity was called for with the prisoners, their violent acts were approved. It was the festival organizers a big concern, to raise awareness of the situation of Palestinian prisoners, said Nadija Samour, the lecturer of the event. "Almost every Palestinian family has a relative in prison - we want to remind our event also to the struggles that they have put behind bars and they continue to fight for them."

Not even armed attacks by Palestinians on Israelis would Samour condemn - on the contrary: "I do not care why these people are in prison, I ask this question not," she said. The Palestinian resistance is a "legitimate response" to the Israeli "apartheid regime" that the Arab minority population for decades oppressive: In the creation of Israel, the Palestinians have been deprived of "ethnic cleansing" of their country and would since then every day "in and learn by Israel racism ".

In this day and age of Trump, I suppose it's fine for Jew haters to now publicly come out in support of terrorists.

CNN Political Commentator Urges Twitter Followers to Support Crowdfunding Campaign of Palestinian Terrorist

A prominent CNN political commentator urged his Twitter followers on Tuesday to support the crowdfunding campaign of a Palestinian terrorist who carried out a bombing in Jerusalem nearly five decades ago.

Dr. Marc Lamont Hill — a professor of African-American Studies at Morehouse College in Atlanta who, in addition to his CNN role, also hosts “BET News” and “VH1 Live!” — tweeted a link on Tuesday to the GoFundMe page of Ali Jiddah, a member of the Afro-Palestinian community in Jerusalem’s Old City, who is seeking donations to cover medical debts he incurred over the years due to his refusal to pay into the Israeli insurance system.

In his appeal for help, Jiddah acknowledged serving 17 years in Israeli prison for “being active in the Palestinian national struggle,” without mentioning the true reason for his incarceration — his planting of a bomb near a Jerusalem hospital in 1968 that wounded nine Israelis, an act described in the 2014 book “Song of the Caged Bird: Words of Resistance in Palestine.”

Jiddah, who was a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, was freed in 1985 as part of the Jibril Agreement — in which Israel released 1,150 imprisoned terrorists in exchange for three Israeli soldiers who were captured during the First Lebanon War.

Hill is known for his anti-Israel views and backing of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. In 2015, he tweeted, “I support BDS in Israel because it’s the best remaining option to end the longest occupation in modern history.”

CNN did not immediately respond to a request from The Algemeiner for comment.

To be fair, all degenerates within the BDS movement support Rasmea Odeh, so this is no surprise.
