Allah's Willing Executioners

A growing sense of unease is spreading among Germany’s youth. A new 2026 study on generational conditions reveals that a significant share of young people are seriously considering leaving the country, driven by economic uncertainty, limited access to housing, and a lack of future prospects.

A Generation Looking Outward

The data paints a concerning picture: around 21% of young people aged 14 to 29 already have concrete plans to emigrate, while up to 41% say they would consider doing so in the future.

Taken together, this means that more than six in ten young Germans do not rule out leaving the country—a striking indicator of generational dissatisfaction that is difficult to ignore.

This is not an isolated trend. It reflects a combination of structural challenges that are directly affecting younger generations.

Debt, Employment, and an Uncertain Future

One of the most alarming findings in the study is the rise in youth debt. Approximately 23% of young people report being in debt, pointing to growing financial vulnerability at a critical stage in life.

At the same time, the labor market has become increasingly difficult. Even those with university degrees are struggling to secure stable employment. Years of economic stagnation have reduced opportunities, creating a widespread sense that upward mobility is increasingly out of reach.

The result is clear: more young people feel that hard work no longer guarantees results.

Housing: The Major Barrier

Access to housing has become one of the most significant sources of pressure. Rising rents and the high cost of living are making it difficult for young people to achieve independence, delaying major life milestones such as starting a family or establishing long-term stability.

The study highlights how the combination of tight wages, inflation, and soaring housing costs is creating a barrier that is nearly impossible for many to overcome.

For a growing number of young Germans, emigration is no longer just an option—it is becoming a necessity.

Psychological Strain and Lack of Outlook

Beyond economic factors, the emotional toll is also significant. Nearly 29% of young people report needing psychological support, reflecting high levels of stress, anxiety, and exhaustion.

The study portrays a generation living under constant pressure, with a growing sense of losing control over its future.

This mix of economic, social, and emotional pressures is fueling a widespread perception of limited prospects.

A Symptom of a Deeper Problem

The fact that more than 60% of young people are considering leaving Germany points not only to a generational crisis, but also to a broader structural challenge for the country.

Young people—traditionally a driving force for growth and renewal—are increasingly looking abroad for opportunities they cannot find at home.

This raises critical questions:
• Is Germany’s economic model leaving its own youth behind?
• Can a country sustain long-term stability while losing young talent?
• What reforms are needed to reverse this trend?

The prospect of a “generational exodus” in Germany signals a profound shift in the relationship between young people and their country.

The message from the study is clear: without real opportunities, economic stability, and access to housing, even the strongest economies risk watching their future—their youth—walk away.

And when an entire generation begins to look for a way out, the question is no longer whether there is a problem, but how deep it truly runs.

Four men were sentenced to prison in Berlin on Wednesday for operating a covert Hamas weapons-stockpiling network across Europe in preparation for potential terrorist attacks — a landmark ruling marking the first time a German court convicted members of the Palestinian terrorist group under the country’s terrorism laws.

The Berlin State Protection Senate — a special national-security chamber within the Berlin Court of Appeal — convicted the defendants of stockpiling weapons for future attacks in Europe, including possible targets in Germany, sentencing them to four and a half to six years in prison for membership in a foreign terrorist organization and related charges.

The court determined the men, aged 36 to 58, had acted as foreign operatives for Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, and had already helped establish several firearms caches across Europe.

According to official records, the defendants helped build weapons depots as part of “preparations to carry out attacks on Jewish and Israeli targets in European countries,” with possible targets including the Israeli Embassy in Berlin, the US Ramstein Air Base in southwestern Germany, and Berlin’s former Tempelhof airport.

German authorities also found the stockpiles were meant for attacks on Israeli, Jewish, or other targets across Europe over an extended period, with sites discovered in multiple countries including Poland, Bulgaria, and Denmark.

Although all four denied being members of Hamas, the main defendant admitted to visiting an arms cache in Bulgaria, claiming the trip was part of “private arms dealing.”

Arrested in December 2023, the four men — all Lebanese-born, including an Egyptian and a Dutch citizen — have been in custody since then, with three having lived primarily in Germany and the fourth in the Netherlands.

Hamas, long supported by the Iranian regime as well as Qatar and Turkey, is designated as a terrorist organization by the European Union and several other Western countries, including the United States.

However, the terrorist group has not been officially classified as such under German law, making Wednesday’s ruling especially important because it sets a legal precedent allowing membership in the group to be treated as a criminal offense.

“It’s a clear and important ruling by the Berlin Court of Appeal, even though we know that it does not in itself reduce the danger of terrorist attacks,” Stephan Weh, Berlin police union chief, said in a statement.

“As a Western metropolis, Berlin remains a focal point for radical Islamist networks, which today primarily recruit new members and supporters via social media,” he continued.

In recent months, German authorities have arrested several more suspects tied to alleged Hamas arms-procurement efforts, with the weapons said to be intended for attacks on Israeli or Jewish sites in Germany and across Europe.

In November, federal prosecutors uncovered and arrested a suspected Hamas terrorist cell with at least five members accused of plotting attacks on Israeli or Jewish targets.

Hamas has repeatedly denied any connection to these criminal networks, calling the allegations of its involvement “baseless.”

However, experts have warned that the group has expanded its terrorist operations beyond the Middle East, exploiting a well-established network of weapons caches, criminal alliances, and covert infrastructure quietly built across Europe over the years.

Last year, West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center released a study detailing how Hamas leaders in Lebanon have been directing operatives to establish “foreign operator’ cells across Europe, collaborating with organized crime networks to acquire weapons and target Jewish communities abroad.

An incident on a train between Sterzing and Bolzano has caused a stir and prompted political reactions. A woman reports having been subjected to severe verbal abuse and intimidation by two men. “I was verbally abused and told that, as a woman, I was worthless and should convert to Islam. I was terrified for my life,” the woman told the South Tyrolean Freedom Party.

According to her account, the whole thing started when the men brought their bicycles onto the train without a second thought. When she pointed this out, the situation escalated. The two men reacted aggressively, insulted her and made religiously motivated and misogynistic remarks.

The South Tyrolean Freedom Party is deeply concerned about the incident. It is unacceptable for women to be subjected to such intimidation and threats on public transport. The case raises fundamental questions about safety in public spaces and how to deal with extremist and misogynistic attitudes.

“Anyone who does not respect our values and degrades women in this way has no place in our society,” emphasises Karin Meister.

The movement is calling for concrete measures to improve safety on public transport. It recently tabled a motion to this effect in the provincial parliament. However, this was rejected by the SVP. One of the reasons given was that such an incident had “never happened” to the party’s parliamentary spokesman, Harald Stauder.

According to South Tyrolean Freedom party, reports from those affected and staff members were not taken into account.

The party is calling on people to report such incidents consistently and not to remain silent. It argues that this is the only way to prevent such incidents from happening again.

The South Tyrolean Freedom Party believes that the most effective measure is the systematic deportation of violent offenders.

In March 24, the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) published an international bulletin in which it claims that “The recent parliamentary elections in the Republic of Slovenia have been marked by a systemic and multi-layered compromise of the democratic process.” 

The irregularities include, among others: statistically impossible data fluctuations, candidate misallocation, erroneous vote attribution, physical removal of ballot boxes during voting hours, voting invitations issued to thousands of deceased individuals, insufficiency of ballots in rural regions, systemic failure of voting from abroad, and failure of ballots postal delivery. 

The next sentence in the bulletin set off alarm bells in my head: “The digital infrastructure of the National Electoral Commission (DVK) suffered a total collapse and was non-functional throughout the critical hours of election night. Upon the system’s restoration, numerous alarming discrepancies were discovered.”

In the election frauds committed in both Venezuela (2017, 2024) and Bolivia (2019), the electoral authorities servers went offline for several hours, and when they came back online, the results had shifted in favor of the São Paulo Forum candidates, Nicolás Maduro and Evo Morales.

Chapter 10 of my book, “The Electoral Fraud of the São Paulo Forum,” states: 

On October 20, 2019, at 19:40, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) published the Preliminary Electoral Results Transmission System (TREP). With 83.76% of the verified tally sheets Evo Morales had 45.28% of the votes. However, at around 8:00 p.m., the TREP’s counting was paralyzed. Almost 24 hours later, on October 21, the TREP began to operate again and produced new results. According to these results, Evo Morales obtained 46.86%. With these numbers, Morales won the elections without needing a second round.

The fraud, carried out with the assistance of Venezuelan experts, was uncovered, and Morales was forced to flee Bolivia. The parallels between what happened in Slovenia and the situations in Bolivia and Venezuela are alarming. It is important to highlight the ties between the Levica party —a member of Robert Golob’s governing coalition— and the Venezuelan regime. 

In my personal experience—as a person who has investigated the São Paulo Forum for 30 years, and as an international observer in numerous elections—the Left uses electoral fraud as a new way to carry out coups d’état without firing a single shot. Recently, American researcher Ralph Pezzullo published a book titled Stolen Elections in which he documents the use of the Venezuelan method to commit fraud in at least seventy nations.

If the Slovenian people allow this fraud to take root, two things will happen: the fraud will become a permanent mechanism and Golob will remain in power indefinitely, regardless of who actually wins the elections; and second, a series of reforms will be gradually passed to impose a totalitarian system in Slovenia. I have personally experienced this process in the case of my country, Venezuela.

The responsibility for exposing the fraud does not rest solely with the SDS party; the Slovenian people should also mobilize to defend their democracy. The elections should be annulled and repeated, this time without the irregularities experienced on March 22. Early voting, for example, should be eliminated, because it is one of the factors that contributes most to fraud.

Seven people have been seriously injured after a car ploughed into a crowd of pedestrians in a busy city centre last night. Cops have arrested a man in his 30s after scrambling to the scene in Derby. The man, originally from India, was detained on suspicion of attempted murder, causing serious injury through dangerous driving, inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent, and dangerous driving. He remains in police custody. Derbyshire Police say the incident, around 9.30pm, involved a black Suzuki Swift in the Friar Gate area, which was packed with pubgoers.

Following a defeat in the Europa League against Aston Villa on March 12, Lille OSC also faced sanctions behind the scenes. The Lille club was sanctioned by UEFA after displaying a massive tifo featuring the figure of Joan of Arc, which the European organisation deemed problematic as it was viewed as a potentially hateful message.

Double punishment for LOSC. Following the defeat against Aston Villa, Lille must also pay a hefty fine. This was due to several serious shortcomings identified during the first leg of the European League round of 16 in Villeneuve d’Ascq.

According to the Birmingham.Live website, as confirmed by La Voix du Nord, the northern club must pay a fine of €82,750, corresponding to five offences recorded by UEFA. These include the display of a giant tifo featuring the figure of Joan of Arc, sword in hand, accompanied by slogans such as “French never die”, “Joan raises her sword and Lille fights on” or “Proud. Strong. Fierce”. An image and messages that the European organisation deemed problematic, particularly in light of the fight against content that incites hatred.

LOSC is also accused of further offences, including organisational failings regarding access to the stadium and the management of spectator flows. After the match, several fans condemned the violence perpetrated by security personnel against English fans. UEFA also highlights the throwing of objects onto the pitch, the use of fireworks in the stadium, and irregularities relating to ticket sales.

Colonel Richard Kemp is a retired British Army officer who commanded British forces in the First Gulf War, Bosnia, Northern Ireland and Afghanistan and led the international terrorism team for the Joint Intelligence Committee. Known for his extensive counter-terrorism experience, he is now a prominent commentator on military strategy.

He joins NCF Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo to discuss the dire state of the British armed forces, which haven’t been this weak in centuries.

The Moscow-based German journalist Ulrich Heyden, who has been covering Russian affairs for a wide variety of German media for over three decades, recently learned that his German bank, the Hamburger Sparkasse, is cancelling his bank account, apparently for reasons relating to the EU’s Russia sanctions. According to Heyden, writing on his Telegram channel, this is what he was told by a bank employee with whom he spoke by telephone, although the written cancellation notice he received merely refers to the bank “reviewing … its business relationships with clients who have their residence in Russia.” Heyden notes that he lives exclusively from the fees of German, Swiss, and Austrian media that are paid into his German account.

Two other German journalists who live in Russia, Alina Lipp and Thomas Röper, were placed on the EU sanctions list last May, resulting in the freezing of their EU-based bank accounts. The EU accuses Lipp and Röper of spreading pro-Russian “war propaganda” and “misinformation.” Heyden, however, does not figure on the sanctions list.

Moreover, unlike Lipp and Röper, whom the EU describes as mere “bloggers,” Heyden is—or, at any rate, was—very much a mainstream journalist. As he notes in the open letter to German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier that he published on his Telegram channel, he was for ten years a contributor to the German public radio Deutschlandfunk, for thirteen years the Moscow correspondent of the daily paper the Sächsische Zeitung, and for no less than thirty years a contributor to the center-left intellectual weekly Freitag. He has also written for such likewise thoroughly mainstream venues as the Tagesspiegel, the Rheinische Merkur, and the German edition of the Financial Times.

Like Lipp and Röper, however, Heyden has tried in recent years, now writing mostly for alternative online outlets, to provide a more balanced view of the Ukraine conflict and to report on Russia, as he puts it, “with understanding and not foaming at the mouth.”  Showing any understanding of the Russian side of the conflict would appear to be controversial in the German public discussion nowadays. “Putinversteher”—literally, someone who understands Putin—is an actual slur that is commonly used in the discussion. 

As recounted in a memoir for the alternative German media NachDenkSeiten, Heyden was an eyewitness to the start of the war in the secessionist republic of Donetsk in May 2014, long before the 2022 Russian military intervention. It is virtually taboo even just to mention this prehistory nowadays. As it so happens, Heyden has authored a book on this prior civil war titled The Longest War in Europe Since 1945. He also, incidentally, is co-author of a 2008 volume on Opposition to the Putin System: Power and Resistance in Modern Russia.

In an interview with NachDenkSeiten, Heyden has noted that numerous reporters for major, mainstream German media are also based in Moscow, and he wonders whether they, too, have had their accounts cancelled, thus also threatening their livelihoods. In his open letter to President Steinmeier, he writes,

I will be 72 this year. What shall I say to my great-uncle Ulrich Wilhelm Graf Schwerin von Schwanenfeld when I meet him in heaven? He was murdered, strangled with a wire around his neck, in Berlin-Plötzensee in September 1944 as a member of the resistance against the Hitler regime. I bear my first name in his honour. What will my great-uncle say? He will say that there was also murder and terror against dissidents in the Nazi era, and that he could not have imagined that such a thing would happen again in Germany. 

In an update on his Telegram channel, Heyden adds that the bank employee with whom he spoke said that the initiative for the closing of his account came in fact from Germany’s financial oversight authority, the BaFin. The BaFin, Heyden notes, itself falls under the authority of the German Ministry of Finance, which is headed by Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil.

The death of Noelia Castillo, carried out under current euthanasia laws, has triggered one of the Catholic Church’s most forceful reactions in more than a decade .
The Vatican and several bishops’ conferences issued unusually severe statements, accusing governments that promote these policies of “turning human life into an administrative procedure” and “crossing a moral line no society should dare to cross.”

The reaction has quickly fueled debate both inside and outside Spain.
For the Church, Castillo’s case confirms that euthanasia laws —presented as a social achievement— are leaving vulnerable patients unprotected and opening the door to irreversible decisions without adequate safeguards.

The strongest remarks came from Church authorities who described the death as “a collective failure,” condemning the fact that the State facilitated the process rather than offering alternatives such as proper palliative care, emotional support, or advanced psychological assistance.
“The value of life does not depend on its usefulness or its suffering,” they lamented in one of the statements released this morning.

While progressive groups defend euthanasia as an “individual right,” the Church argues that such a view reduces human dignity to a matter of personal convenience and sets a dangerous precedent.
The case is stirring strong reactions among pro-life organizations, doctors, legal experts, and patient associations calling for an urgent review of current legislation.

The debate is far from minor.
Noelia Castillo’s death may become a turning point and revive a discussion that some political parties believed was already settled.
The coming hours will be decisive: more official statements are expected, along with reactions from political leaders and potentially new social demonstrations.

One thing is clear: this case has struck at the heart of today’s moral and healthcare debate, and the Church’s response is not only severe but also a direct warning to governments that have normalized euthanasia as just another service within the public health system.

Former EU border force chief and current Member of European Parliament Fabrice Leggeri faces a judicial investigation in France over complaints logged by far-left open borders activists over alleged pushbacks of migrant boats in the Mediterranean.

In the latest apparent lawfare drive against those who seek to protect Europe’s borders from illegal immigration, the Paris Court of Appeal will reportedly investigate former Frontex boss Fabrice Leggeri for alleged “crimes against humanity”, Le Monde reported.

According to the Parisian paper, the investigation was launched on the back of a complaint from the pro-mass migration non-profits Utopia 56 and the Human Rights League (LDH) in April of 2024.

The NGOs accused Leggeri, during his tenure as the head of the Frontex EU border force, of having helped orchestrate and then potentially cover up the coordinated pushback of illegal migrant boats by Greek officials to Turkey, and similar pushbacks of migrant boats attempting to reach Italy by the Libyan coast guard.

The complaint reportedly stated that Leggeri did so “by failing to oppose the crimes committed by the Libyan and Greek coast guards, by concealing evidence of these crimes, and by providing logistical and financial support for their execution”.

They further accused Leggeri of having set out “an especially strict policy clearly aimed at obstructing, whatever the cost – including human lives – the entry of migrants into the European Union.”

Leggeri, who led the EU border force from 2015 to 2022, and who now sits in the European Parliament for the French anti-mass migration National Rally party, has so far not commented publicly on the reported investigation.

However, allies were quick to decry what appeared to be an attempt to criminalise the protection of Europe’s borders. Former National Rally presidential candidate Marine Le Pen said: “I extend my full support to Fabrice Leggeri, the target of this odious campaign of judicial harassment.”

“The French people who are enduring the dramatic consequences of migrant submersion will not be fooled by the crude manoeuvre of a far-left organisation that seeks to prevent and criminalise any oversight of migration policies, even though such oversight is demanded by the European peoples.”

National Rally president Jordan Bardella also decried the “judicial harassment from far-left associations,” and said: “Defending Europe’s borders against mass immigration is not a crime: it is an absolute necessity and the fundamental right of peoples.”

Leggeri, who joined the National Rally in 2024, has continued to be heavily critical of the open borders agenda favoured by elites in Europe, and has been a vocal opponent of the EU Migration Pact, which seeks to punish member states financially if they refuse to take in illegals from other member states that fail to police their borders.

The former Frontex boss is not alone in facing apparent lawfare for seeking to protect Europe’s borders. Indeed, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini was mired in court cases for years over his 2019 move to prevent an open-borders NGO from disembarking migrants on Italian shores, which opponents claimed violated EU law. Ultimately, Salvini was acquitted of all charges in December.
