The West German Broadcasting Corporation (WDR) has finally decided against working with the journalist Nemi El-Hassan.

The public broadcaster in Cologne announced this to the German press agency on Tuesday.

The journalist had previously published a guest article in the "Berliner Zeitung" in which she expressed massive criticism of the WDR for dealing with her in the past few weeks more available. "

Originally, the journalist was supposed to moderate the program "Quarks".

It was scheduled to start in November.

The "Bild" newspaper reported on her participation in an Al-Quds demo in Berlin in 2014, among other things.

Anti-Jewish slogans were shouted during the demonstration and riots broke out.

The WDR had only provisionally decided against presenting El-Hassan in the science program.

The reason given was "that the dispute over her person had led to an inappropriate politicization of the renowned science program".

The ARD-Anstalt had then initially further checked whether it could possibly work as an author for "Quarks".

Nemi El-Hassan, however, attributes the debate to a "campaign" by the Bild newspaper and is convinced that this was induced by right-wing extremist circles.

So she explains it on Tuesday in a guest article for the Berliner Zeitung.

“There is a line between critical journalistic work and a targeted campaign to dismantle a person.

This limit was exceeded in my case, ”writes El-Hassan.

The Bild newspaper has carried a narrative initiated by right-wing extremist Internet activists into the public.

Research by Zeit Online showed how the campaign had been "prepared for a long time".

Meanwhile, she apologized for participating in the Al-Quds demonstration in 2014.

"The WDR - in the hope of pulling itself out of the line of fire - joined all the arguments of the 'Bild' newspaper and thus also opened the door to future campaigns." In the debate, voices were "deliberately ignored".

In addition, there was “no honest discourse” on how to differentiate anti-Semitism from positions critical of Israel.

Most recently, the former Israeli ambassador Avi Primor and the historian Moshe Zimmermann rated Nemi El-Hassan's Internet likes as not anti-Semitic.
