SPD Politician's Office Attacked in Alleged Antizionist Incident
Mathias Stein, a Bundestag member and vice president of the Deutsch-Israelische Gesellschaft, reports damage and graffiti linked to his pro-Israel advocacy.
- The Kiel office of SPD Bundestag member Mathias Stein was vandalized with graffiti and broken windows overnight, with 'Kriegstreiber' ('warmonger') sprayed on the facade.
- Stein, who is also vice president of the Deutsch-Israelische Gesellschaft (DIG), attributes the attack to his role in the organization, which promotes German-Israeli relations.
- A purported online claim of responsibility links the attack to left-wing groups, citing opposition to the DIG's 'zionist' stance.
- DIG President Volker Beck condemned the incident as an act of antizionism and called for greater recognition of its threat to public peace and international understanding.
- Police are investigating the incident as property damage but have yet to identify suspects or make arrests.
