Watch journalists confront the German government over its ban of Berlin's Palestine Congress and the entry ban on people like Yanis Varoufakis. Why were devoted Jewish, Palestinian, and German peace activists unjustly labelled as 'Islamist and antisemitic'?

Journalists: "No antisemitic statements were made at the Palestine Congress."

German Government: "The ban on the Palestine Congress was justified and essential. We do not tolerate antisemitic or Islamist crimes."

    She knows how wrong it is, they all do sitting there. A bunch of cowards terrified for themselves and their careers. This is how it started before. Terrifying.

    As a german jew, I do not give consent to these modern german nazis to determine what discussions or conferences are 'allowed' to take place. Yanis did absolutely nothing wrong. It seems that stasi are back in my homeland - refreshed under new packaging.

    If ever she is asked about this, she will say that she was following orders. Germans are very good at following orders and never, ever, questioning them.
  • Schande für Deutschland! Unfassbar! Einschränkung der Rede- und Reisefreiheit!

    Hold her accountable for her participation in genocide, and crimes against country.
  • @marclaumann
    Look at how intimidated the journalists are when asking their questions - It is frightening!!!
  • @aston0708
    Banning a former EU finance minister sets a very dangerous precedent,,,
  • Her posture is a punch in the face of the German population, citizens. She MUST understand that she serves the public, not the opposite.
  • I am german and it's a shame what happend and the arrogance from Kock. So sorry for my Government and their behave.
  • @fiaz123hamsath
    What a coward. She ducked all questions without proper answers.
  • @shinywarm6906
    Not a single concrete fact offered in justification of the closing down of a peaceful expression of a political opinion. A chilling warning to us all.

    Banning Varoufakis means to ban reason, logic and truth. Good luck with that, German government!

    I'm truly baffled by current German Government policy. As a British resident of Germany, post-Brexit i've been working towards applying for German citizenship but i'm seriously questioning that now. It is truly shameful what is happening. Germany may as well toss it's so-called 'Vergangenheitsbewältigung' into the rubbish bin and start again.
