BERLIN (EJP)---The Central Council of Jews in Germany has spoken out against what it sees as unbalanced reporting and political commentaries regarding Israeli military action in Lebanon and Gaza.
The Council’s most recent complaints have been against Juergen Hanefeld of WDR TV (Germany’s largest regional state TV network) and Germany’s minister for economic cooperation and development, Heide Wieczorek-Zeul.
Hanefeld condemned Israel’s “attack on peaceable Lebanon”. His report omitted all references to the barrage of Hizbollah rockets that had been fired at Israel’s northern communities for the past 26 years.
Israel’s northern border has been recognized by the United Nations and its legitimacy is therefore not legally contestable. Knobloch did praise the German government’s commitment to try and help resolve the conflict, however.
Close to anti-Semitism
Council president Charlotte Knobloch told the press that the WDR TV commentary by Hanefeld “is particularly underhanded and on the verge of being anti-Semitic”.
Meanwhile, Wieczorek-Zeul, who has made no secret about her pro-Arab stance, has publicly called Israel’s recent military campaign “illegal according to international law."
Dieter Graumann, Knobloch’s deputy, told the press that “Wieczorek-Zeul’s statements are void of any moral or substantive foundation”.
“As far as international law is concerned, the world community - including Germany and the Lebanese government - has had an obligation to disarm and disband the Hibollah terrorists in Lebanon,” Graumann said.

“The only thing that has been illegal according to international law is the mere fact that the entire world has passively watched rockets being indiscriminately targeted against Israeli civilians… and Mme Wieczorek-Zeul knows this very well,” Graumann said.
Graumann has shown his disappointment with the Social Democratic governing coalition partners of Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic party. Referring to foreign minister Frank Walter Steinmeier’s calls for an unconditional Israeli withdrawal, he called the Social Democratic party’s current rhetoric a “usual anti-Israeli reflex”.
The Council’s vice president, however, was quick to praise the Christian Democrats’ “solidarity with Israel’s defence position”. He concluded with the hope that other nations would eventually see that countries like Syria and Iran, through their military support of Hamas and Hizbollah militants, have been directly responsible for fostering the conflict.
Media bias
German television has tended to stress the Israeli strikes on Lebanon, rather than the Hizbollah rocket attacks on Israel.
Monday night’s Tagesthemen, Germany’s primary nightly news programme, opened with the single sentence news-flash, “world leaders have told Israel to retreat”.
In the newsflash, no mention was made of continued rocket attacks in the heart of Israel. No mention was made about the reason for the Israeli invasion. After a brief commercial pause, the news broadcast the position of the G-8 summit leaders, in St. Petersburg.
Benjamin Ben-Chana, a PR/Communications analyst based in Berlin told EJP: “The German press has only headlined demands that Israel withdraw. Most people remember the headlines ﾐ and either do not pay attention to the additional content or quickly forget about it.
“The press has been doing nothing to make the public truly understand the cause of Israel’s attacks on Gaza and Lebanon ﾐ focusing solely on the effects and, thus, perpetuating an image of Israel, an aggressor state. This of course sells ratings”
