These antisemitic protestors are getting out of control

Now they’re attacking Tesla. Itself.

Protesters attempt to storm Germany’s Tesla factory – Hundreds of climate protesters have clashed with police in Germany after attempting to storm the Tesla factory near Berlin.

Several people were injured, including three police officers, during Friday’s demonstration against the proposed expansion of the electric car giant’s only European plant.

German of the day: Da ist nichts zu lachen

That means that’s nothing to laugh about.

Although, actually…

Car sharing driver overturns – laughing gas in the car!

Serious accident at night in Berlin-Wilmersdorf! A car-sharing car crashed into several parked cars and left a field of debris in its wake.

“Expressing understanding”

He was the author of a January essay that expressed understanding for the Hamas militants who carried out the deadly October 7 raid in Israel that sparked the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

Then understand this.

German police shut down pro-Palestinian conference – Police in the German capital, Berlin, have stopped an event expressing solidarity with Palestinians amid the Gaza war. Authorities said they were concerned over potential antisemitic remarks and glorified violence.

But why would you leave Helsinki in the first place?

To come to Berlin, I mean.

Finns are the happiest people on Earth, I’m told. Germans, well, aren’t. And Berliners erst recht nicht (certainly not).

Traveling from Berlin to Helsinki — without using a plane. Flying is a major CO2 emitter when traveling. But how feasible are alternative modes of transportation?

Intangible

Intangible sense. Or the intangible lack of sense, I should say.

Let’s approach this differently: What isn’t on the UNESCO cultural heritage list? It would certainly make for a shorter list that would be much easier to handle.

Berlin techno added to UNESCO cultural heritage list – UNESCO has just added six new entries to the list of intangible cultural heritage in Germany, including Berlin’s techno scene. The intangible cultural heritage designation is meant to preserve cultural traditions.

German of the day: Brandanschlag

That means aerson attack.

The Tree People did it (they’re kind of like the Sand People in Star Wars, only with trees)!

Tesla without electricity is like a… Well, this is what it’s like:

Tesla factory near Berlin evacuated! No power for hours after arson attack. Production at a standstill ++ Bomb searchers move in…

Peaceful protest turns into naked violence! Eco-criminals paralyzed Tesla’s car factory in Grünheide (12,500 employees) with an arson attack on Tuesday morning. The entire factory, the town of Erkner and parts of Berlin are without electricity. Bomb searchers are now moving in. The car factory has been evacuated!

Political? The Berlin Film Festival?

That’s all we’ve ever been. It’s never been about film.

But we’re not just Crappy-Movies-R-Us anymore. Now we’re openly anti-Israeli. Wait. We’ve always been openly anti-Israel. But now we’re openly openly anti-Israeli.

Germany launches probe over Berlin film festival anti-Israel row – German officials will investigate how Berlin film festival winners were able to make “one-sided” comments condemning Israel’s war in Gaza at the event’s finale, a government spokeswoman says.

At Saturday’s awards ceremony, several winners were accused of making biased remarks on stage in relation to Israel’s war against Hamas, which began after the October 7 assault by the terror group that killed some 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and saw 253 taken hostage.

US filmmaker Ben Russell, wearing a Palestinian scarf, accused Israel of committing “genocide.”

German of the day: Shmues un Vayn

Just kidding. That’s Yiddish.

And that means schmusen und Wein in German. Almost. Schmusen in German means to cuddle. Shmues, however, although taken from schmusen, means schmooze, as in gossip or conversation.

So, German of the day Shmues un Vayn, which is actually Yiddish, means getting together for wine and conversation. I think. Now was that so hard?

You can now hear people speaking Yiddish in bars all over Berlin – A Yiddish conversation group meets biweekly at locations around the city. Other people think they’re speaking Swiss German.

The Super Bowl was yesterday

Like, literally. Now it’s time for some real sports action.

German of the day: Ausladung and Ausgrenzung

Ausladung means to cancel an invitation.

Ausgrenzung means exclusion, marginalisation.

Co-head of the Berlinale justifies the cancellation with high pressure – The managing director of the Berlinale, Mariette Rissenbeek, has defended the decision to exclude AfD politicians from the opening gala. In the face of widespread criticism, it was “a very difficult gesture to say: ‘You are welcome!

AfD parliamentary group leader Brinker criticizes Berlinale decision as “exclusion.”
