German officials condemn store owner who declared Jews banned from entry to protest Israel

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A German shop owner in the northern city of Flensburg posted a sign on Wednesday that Jews are banned from entering his store, sparking outrage among state officials in Schleswig-Holstein.
Hans-Velten Reisch, the 60-year-old owner of the store that sells Gothic-Utensils and technical literature, posted a sign that reads, «Jews are banned from entering here! Nothing personal. No antisemitism. Just can’t stand you.»
Germany’s largest daily newspaper, Bild, reported on Thursday that Reisch defended his anti-Jewish sign. He told the paper that «I watch the news every evening. And when I saw what the Jews were doing in the Gaza Strip, I lost my temper and printed out the poster.»
Israel launched a defensive war against the Hamas terrorist movement in Gaza after Hamas slaughtered over 1,200 people on October 7, 2023, including American citizens.
Reisch said the police told him on Wednesday evening that he has to take down the poster.

The Schleswig-Holstein Minister of Culture Dorit Stenke and Gerhard Ulrich, the state’s controversial antisemitism commissioner, took Reisch to task for his reported antisemitism, issuing a joint statement on the state government’s website.
«A sign that denies Jews access to a store is a frightening signal and an attack on the principles of our free coexistence,» Stenke said in the statement. She continued, «We cannot allow such things to continue in our society and must take decisive action against it together. Antisemitism is a threat to our democracy and must not be tolerated in any form.»

Ulrich said, «We must stand together against every form of antisemitism,» adding, «The fight against antisemitism is a special responsibility that we bear as Germans.»
The State Prosecutor launched an investigation against Reisch for incitement of hatred. Ulrich filed a criminal complaint for incitement of hatred against Reisch. A total of five criminal complaints were filed against Reisch, according to Bild.
«Antisemitic hate speech like this not only hurts those affected, but also disrupts public peace. The Flensburg incident, with its contemptuous rhetoric, is fatally reminiscent of the Nazi hate speech against Jews,» said Ulrich.
The outbreak of Jew-hatred in Flensburg is another example of the growing antisemitism in Schleswig-Holstein, the state officials said. In 2024, 588 antisemitic incidents were documented, an increase of 390 percent over 2023.

Ulrich, however, has faced accusations that he has contributed to anti-Jewish and anti-Israel sentiments when he previously served as the Protestant Church’s Bishop for northern Germany.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the associate dean of the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organization named after the legendary Nazi hunter, warned about Ulrich’s alleged antisemitism in December 2022. Cooper urged Schleswig-Holstein‘s government to dismiss Ulrich, claiming he «is unfit to denounce the very antisemitism that he unfortunately legitimized and helped to spread in the mainstream of German society.»

The former bishop has said, «The name ‘Israel’ is burdened with the horror and misery of this Middle East war.» He also compared Israel’s security fence with the now-defunct Berlin Wall, suggesting Israel needs to dismantle its security fence.

The anti-terrorist fence has saved the lives of thousands of Israelis from Palestinian terrorists coming from the West Bank (also known as the biblical region of Judea and Samaria), according to counter-terrorism officials in Israel.

Cientos de camiones quedaron varados en Brasil: transportan una cosecha récord de soja y la mayoría está destinada a China

Los camioneros en Brasil enfrentan retrasos inusualmente largos para entregar soja en la terminal portuaria de Miritituba, en la selva amazónica, debido a que una cosecha récord de aproximadamente 180 millones de toneladas métricas desborda la logística en uno de los principales centros de exportación de este cultivo a nivel mundial.
El retraso en el transporte de soja desde el mayor productor y exportador mundial pone de relieve los continuos obstáculos logísticos en la cadena de suministro agrícola brasileña. Gran parte de la cosecha de soja se destina a China.
“Es una vergüenza aquí en Miritituba”, declaró a Reuters el camionero Jeferson Borges da Silva, quien esperó en una fila de 30 km (20 millas) tras recorrer 1.200 km desde Mato Grosso.
“Llevamos dos días haciendo fila, no hay forma de conseguir nada, la gente que no tiene cocina se muere de hambre en la calle, luego se equivocan de dirección y por eso les multan. El tráfico no puede circular, por eso está todo parado. Como pueden ver, la fila tiene más de 30 km. Llevamos dos días aquí y ya nadie sabe qué hacer”, dijo Borges da Silva.
“En cuanto a la protesta indígena en Cargill, creo que afectó un poco a Miritituba, porque los camioneros ganan comisión; si trabajan, ganan; si no trabajan, no. Así que no se quedaron esperando la huelga; todos vinieron a Miritituba, por eso aumentó el número de camiones”, agregó.
Miritituba, un punto crítico de transbordo, maneja aproximadamente 12 millones de toneladas métricas de granos al año, incluyendo soja y maíz. Empresas como Cargill, Bunge BG.N y la brasileña Amaggi operan terminales fluviales donde los cultivos se cargan en barcazas para su transporte río abajo a instalaciones más grandes capaces de llenar buques transoceánicos. El tráfico suele ser intenso en esta época del año.
Para agravar los problemas de la industria, activistas indígenas invadieron este mes una instalación de transbordo de Cargill en Santarém en protesta contra la política gubernamental de dragar y ampliar la capacidad de transporte marítimo a través de la cuenca amazónica.
Por su parte, la chofer de camiones Silvia Apreciada da Silva dijo: “Los puertos no tienen todo ese apoyo, y aquí sufrimos, sufrimos sin duchas, sin comida, sin poder descansar, sin dormir toda la noche, dos o tres días haciendo cola, y eso no está bien, eso no es bueno”.
“El número de camiones ha aumentado muchísimo. ¿Cómo van a caber mil camiones en un patio donde solo caben 500 o 200? Es imposible, y bloquearía la carretera», agregó.
Sus manifestaciones llevaron al gobierno el lunes a revocar un decreto que facilitaba dichas ampliaciones de vías fluviales, lo que generó mayor incertidumbre para los exportadores agrícolas.
El camionero Wellington Bressan afirmó que las protestas indígenas podrían haber contribuido al atasco en Miritituba, ya que los conductores se apresuraron a asegurar los puntos de descarga.
Cargill, que suspendió temporalmente las operaciones en su terminal de Santarém durante las protestas, anunció este jueves que está trabajando para reanudar la actividad.
