Heated Reactions to Jette Nietzard's Israel Video Apology and "ACAB" Sweater
Israel Video Controversy: No Apologies Offered by Involved Parties - Nietzard Expresses Sincere Regrets Over Controversial Israeli Video
Jette Nietzard, the co-chair of Germany's Green Youth, has found herself in the center of a storm recently. After a video about Israel went viral, she made an apology for the content - particularly the claim that "over 50,000 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis have been killed in military operations since October 7th." The video, initially posted on Instagram, has since been edited. Nietzard conceded that her statement was a mistake and apologized, specifically to Jewish people worldwide and in Germany.
In a subsequent post on Instagram, Nietzard's team acknowledged that the previous video didn't clearly convey that October 7th was an anti-Semitic terrorist attack. The updated video shows Nietzard expressing her views on Israel's use of humanitarian aid as a weapon against people in the Gaza Strip, while asserting that Hamas operates as a terrorist organization and employs human shields, with hostages still being held captive. Nietzard emphasizes that these actions do not justify Israel's tactics.
Controversy intensified when Nietzard was spotted wearing a pullover emblazoned with the acronym "ACAB" (All Cops Are Bastards). She also wore a cap displaying the anti-capitalist slogan "Eat the rich" on her private Instagram. Green politicians responded with dismay, with some suggesting Nietzard might want to step down. However, she has elected to keep her position, hinting at more controversies to come as she has "a few more pullovers in my closet."
