Well my dear friends, nothing against solidarity with victims due to (presumably) terror attacks in Berlin yesterday, but i am wondering why it is (again) that only the European victims of terror are worth showing one's solidarity with. Berlin wasn't the only place where an attack happened... there were also attacks in the Dera Bugti District, Pakistan (Car Bombing, 2 dead), Kunduz, Afghanistan (Bombing, 1 dead, 22 injured), Ankara, Turkey (Assassination, 2 dead, 3 injured), Baghdad, Iraq (Bombing, 1 dead, 8 injured) and Ofarim, West Bank (Shooting, 1 injured) at the very same day, not to speak about warfare all over the world and the attacks days before the incident in Berlin. I am from Berlin, born, raised and still living. So i guess it is my part to say this: Don't forget the rest of the world, they are all humans whom all suffered from an act of terror. Europe is not the place on earth where shit happens, on the contrary, we have a relatively peaceful life here. It is the rest of the world which needs our solidarity much more than we in Berlin do. For instance: be respectful to and welcome people who had to flee from war and poverty, in part because European capitalism gives a shit about living conditions in the rest of the world. Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here. And fuck those who try to take advantage of the attacks in Berlin to spread hatred against others.
