In this episode we discuss about the demonstration “Antifa means Free Palestine” in Leipzig on 17th of January 2026 with organisers on the ground. Johannes from MERA25 speaks to Yuval from Jewish/Israeli dissent, an activist living in Leipzig for 6 years and with a comrade that is active in the Palestine solidarity movement in the local district of Connewitz. We answer: Why the protest is happening and why it is necessary. Furthermore: Why has it been dangerous for local Palestine activists? And: What is the history of the Antideutsche/Ultradeutsche and why do they love Isreal and support a genocide.
