The one-sided, pro-Palestinian statements at the Berlinale awards ceremony were difficult to bear. But the indignation about it is now just as one- sided.
A loud majority of those honored called for a ceasefire in Gaza and expressed solidarity with Palestine. Supporters of the misguided “Strike Germany’ initiative would be well advised to watch this award ceremony, says Jens Schulte. The more often a ceasefire was called for, the louder the silence about other acts of violence and their victims became.
