For many years, stands in the middle of the Cologne Cathedral Square, the "Wailing Wall", the 20-square-foot "anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist installation, is being demonized by Israel as a blood-sucking and murderous monster that not only the Palestinians are abused, but also represents a threat to world peace, " as Henryk M. Broder aptly once was. has now Buurmann Gerd (33) one of the persons responsible for the "Wailing Wall" is displayed for sedition. Liza said world with the artistic director of the Cologne Severin's Castle Theater and operator of the Weblogs brave of nowhere of the reasons for this step.
Liza World: Buurmann Lord, you have brought against Walter Herrmann, one of the two makers of Cologne "Wailing Wall", will press charges. How did this happen?Photo: © Gerd Buurmann
Gerd Buurmann: This anti-wall, as I call me has long been a thorn in the eye. By a one-sided view of the perceived or actual suffering of the Palestinian and Israeli leaders as war criminals view it distorts the reality of the Middle East conflict, and aroused so anti-Semitic sentiment. So far I have only annoyed me but it over and done anything concrete about it. End of January, then I'm taking a walk through downtown Cologne, once again stumbled over the wall and saw that there is a new board on it. It is a caricature to see (photo above) showing a Jew, who cut up with knife and fork, a small Palestinian child to adjust to his drool flesh and blood. Such images of child-eating Jews at that time the Nazis brought into the world to justify the extermination of the Jews. Since it has definitely given me, and I have called the police.
What the police have done?
The officials had after my first impression no desire to deal with the matter. One of them said to me, this cartoon could certainly be in the mirror find to be with, and it was covered by free speech. Finally, the police were cooperative but still, photos made by the board and took my complaint against sedition.
Did you try to come up with Walter Herrmann to talk?
I've tried some time ago, but it was completely pointless. Pursuing his anti-wall is a real mission. It is his deeply held conviction that Jews are just as how he represents them on his wall. The lawsuit is for me why the civilized way to address this problem. For it can not be that because every day at the Cologne Cathedral Square, under the guise of freedom of expression flawless anti-Semitism is spreading. The entire wall is a disaster and must disappear. A legal way should be found for it really.
Why was so little protest against the "Wailing Wall"?
representatives of Cologne's Jewish community have been demanding for years advocated a ban on anti-wall, but so far has done nothing at all. While the Cologne on one side "jackknife" when anti-Muslim sentiment is made to point to the other side of an ice-cold ignorance about Jews, an ignorance that can mean only one thing: Jews do not belong to us! What would expect of Cologne's Muslim citizens not even a single day, it seems Jews every day. Even more clearly we can say nothing: ass up? Teeth apart? Not for Jews! What would have happened if the Mohammed cartoon by Kurt Westergaard daily at Cologne Cathedral would see? There would probably protests and riots, which would provide in a very short time that the cartoon will disappear from the cathedral square. Probably also a sizeable number of Muslim inhabitants of Cologne without faith against this alleged defamation of Islam in front of Cologne Cathedral would come together and take up the ass good and the teeth apart.
What for you is the difference between a cartoon as the "Wailing Wall" and about the Westergaard cartoon critical of Islam?
The cartoon the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb in the turban shows caused worldwide protests for violent fanatical Muslims, killing over a hundred people died. In addition, there was a "fatwa" against the artist Kurt Westergaard, and several assassination attempt on him. The cartoon on the other hand, shows a Jew with the crushing of a child, triggered violent protests either, nor the artist had ever worried about his health. Instead, it is mocked by that image people have to fear for their lives, because this drawing uses ancient anti-Semitic stereotypes to plant deadly hatred in the minds of anti-Semites. The Mohammed cartoon is so tasteless at worst, Cartoon murder the Jews but dangerous, no doubt.
The Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger your complaint was worth at least a short message. Do you get more responses to your step?
Yes, and very positive. Therefore, I would like to ask me to do the same. Anti-Semitism is always an emergency that justifies it, to choose the 110, even if the police see it differently.
