Overview
- Neubauer says the clash over Fridays for Future’s stance after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks led to her first panic attack.
- She describes intense pressure with accusations directed at the movement and Greta Thunberg, including claims of antisemitism and calls to rename the German branch.
- Looking back, she calls it a mistake that the German FFF did not emphasize Palestinian suffering more or speak out more clearly against repression of pro‑Palestinian advocates in Germany.
- Neubauer recounts that her father died of cancer in 2016 when she was 19 and that she long avoided discussing it publicly for fear of breaking down.
- Her remarks appear in Funke Mediengruppe’s podcast “Meine schwerste Entscheidung,” which is available on major streaming platforms.
