Interfestation for chief ket concert: Minister of Culture warns of anti-Semitism!
In the House of Cultures in the World (HKW), a planned event with the Rapper Chefket ensures tumultuous discussions. Minister of Media and Culture Wolfram Weimer has had a sharp criticism of the upcoming concert, which is due to take place on October 7, the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel. Weimer feels the event as a provocation, since Chefket would present a T-shirt with a motif that questions Israel's right to exist reports the small newspaper.
Weimer asked the director of the HKW, Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, to have talks with the organizers and artists to avoid anti -Semitic statements. The minister emphasizes that as a member of the HKW Supervisory Board, he could not accept anti -Semitic actions. In a clear statement, Ndikung clearly rejected the allegations against the HKW and emphasized that there was no place for anti -Semitism there Germany radio clarifies.
Criticism and statements
Jan Böhmermann, who is known for his attitude to anti -Semitism, also expressed that he would act against the denial of Israel's right to exist and the Holocaust.

The anti -Semitism debate in Germany has gained intensity in recent years. Studies show a dramatic increase in anti -Semitic statements and attacks, especially since October 7, 2023, the massacre of Hamas in Israel. According to Rias, anti -Semitic incidents have quadrupled, which represents an alarming development. These tendencies are not only limited to verbal violence, but are also shown in physical threats to Jewish people and institutions As the Culture Council reports.
Cultural responsibility and prevention
Anti-Semitism and Israel-related prejudices have become a central topic at universities and in cultural institutions. The debate about the difference between legitimate criticism of the Israeli government and anti -Semitic rhetoric is becoming increasingly important. In this context, measures to prevent anti -Semitism were discussed in the Committee on Culture and Media of the German Bundestag.
The challenges that anti -Semitism for German cultural institutions represent are complex and must be addressed primarily. Recommendations for action include the development of prevention and emergency concepts as well as training and advisory measures to raise awareness of anti-Semitism the Cultural Council refers to further measures.
The examination of these topics remains indispensable in order to rule out anti -Semitic currents in a cultural space that wants to represent a diverse discussion culture and act preventively.
