An item in German outlet Die Nachrichten confirms that the broadcaster expressed regrets after “an activist made anti-Semitic remarks in a news program on Tuesday and that he wanted to justify acts of terrorism.”
“Even if it is not always possible to completely prevent statements from interview guests in a live situation, this mistake should not have happened,” the report adds.

“We regret that,” it quotes a Deutsche Welle spokesperson saying.

Although Die Nachrichten does not name me, it does appear to be a slanderous reference to my interview since it refers to the same program that interviewed me on Tuesday – The Day.

An article in the German tabloid Bild also makes reference to my interview and smears me as an “anti-Semite.”

Do they have a choice?

My understanding, however limited, is that this guilt complex was forced upon West Germany by the victorious Anglo allies. As Lore Hyatt mentions, criticism of Israel’s crimes is branded as ’antisemitism’ - I believe this, as well as censorship in the government-controlled MSM, is part and parcel of Germany being an occupied nation, and I doubt it reflects the will of 80 million citizens.
