Anti-Israel shouts and radical Islamic banners at demonstrations are preoccupying German society. Young people seem to be particularly affected. The spokesperson for the children’s and youth organisation “Arche” also warns against this.
Wolfgang Büscher is concerned. The 65-year-old is the spokesperson for the “Arche” children’s and youth organisation, which looks after around 7,000 children and young people every day at 33 facilities across Germany – many of whom have a migrant background. At work, Büscher has been experiencing an increasing radicalisation of young people for some time, he tells the newspaper “Bild”.
Arche spokesman warns of radicalisation of young people: “We are facing a catastrophe”
According to the newspaper, young people are increasingly openly welcoming and celebrating Hamas’ terror against Israel. This is made clear by the statement from Arab youths quoted by Büscher: “First we cut the throats of the Jews, then the gays and finally the Christians!”
This statement is not an isolated case, the Arche spokesperson told Bild. “Children and young people are becoming increasingly radicalised. I’ve never seen anything like it. We are facing a catastrophe.”
Arche spokesperson sees no chance of improvement for many young people
After the Hamas attack on Israel, Büscher reports that he wore an Israel badge. He was openly criticised for this. “A 12-year-old boy came up to me and said: ‘I hate you. We’re taking the country back’, smiling in my face.”
Western values are rejected by many young people. Büscher sees no chance of improvement for many – though not all – of those affected. “With the very young, talking can still work. With older young people, it no longer works. They reject our culture, our values. The hatred is unimaginable.”
