We are horrified by this terrible crime and the cruelty of the perpetrators. Our hearts and thoughts are with all those affected by the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, and with all those who have family and friends in the region.
At the same time, we are ashamed that the murder of Jewish people is being cheered publicly in Germany. We condemn every form of antisemitism and share responsibility for ensuring that it has no place in our society.
We support every effort to ease tensions quickly in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the implementation of a humane solution for the civilian population in the Gaza Strip.
The international literature festival berlin condemns the terrorist attack on Israel.
