Allegations against cultural center in Berlin: Senate promotes stage for Israel haters

Berlin - The Oyoun Cultural Center on Lucy-Lameck-Straße has been supported by the Senate with over one million euros annually since 2020. Does this money also support anti-Semitism?

The CDU MP Christopher Förster raises this accusation. Background: On May 11, the cultural center made its “ Palestine Speaks” rooms available.

This group was banned from meeting several times in May because of inflammatory and anti-Semitic slogans and a glorification of violence.

Together with "Palestine Speaks", the Neuköllner Linke invited to the event "Palestinian Voices in Germany - How can the oppression end?" in the Oyoun.

"The group repeatedly attracts attention because of its anti-Semitism ," according to an analysis by the Amadeu Antonio Foundation. "Anti-Semitic banners and slogans often have no consequences or are presented as supposed isolated cases." On its own website, "Palestine Speaks" accuses Israel of "ethnic cleansing".
