Youth Group Removes Israeli Video by Jette Nietzard: Green Youth Erases Israeli Video Produced by Jette Nietzard
The Greens Youth's leader, Jette Nietzard, has raised eyebrows once again with her comments on Israel. A controversial video she posted on social media has loosened the screws between her and former Green Bundestag MP, Volker Beck - now the head of the German-Israeli Society.
Hamas' Brutal Massacre and Nietzard's Shocking Claim
In the October of 2023, Hamas terrorists orchestrated a heinous attack on Israeli soil, taking the lives of nearly 1,200 innocent civilians. Jette Nietzard, in her video, compared these gruesome acts to Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip.
Politics Dark Shadows Shrouding Israel: Beck vs Nietzard According to sources, Beck claims that Nietzard trivialized this heinous terrorist attack by referring to the victims of Hamas as casualties of "military operations."
A Vicious Cycle of Criticism and Backlash
As per Beck, Nietzard initially deleted the video due to the backlash, only to later reupload it sans the offending passage. Despite this, Beck says that there's been no apology from Nietzard for her insensitive comments.
Controversy over the "ACAB" Sweater
Jette Nietzard's contentious relationship with the Greens leadership didn't begin with her Israel remarks: a photo showing her wearing an "ACAB" sweater and a "Eat the Rich" cap sparked outcry - especially from the left wing of her own party. Even the co-chair Franziska Brantner criticized the photo.
Over the Line and No Regrets
When asked about her "ACAB" sweater and its backlash, Nietzard remained firm in her stance. Although she acknowledged the "outpouring of outrage," she refused to apologize or consider resignation, stating that she'd rather focus on leading her youth association until her term ends. Nietzard hinted at more controversial statements to come, promising her followers that they could expect further debates in the near future.
Despite criticism, Nietzard maintains her position within the Greens Youth as of early June 2025. However, the incident has stirred broader discussions about antisemitism, political rhetoric, and the accountability of youth leaders in Germany.

The controversial comments made by Jette Nietzard, the Greens Youth leader, regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have led to a heated debate within the political arena. In the midst of criticism, she drew a comparison between Hamas' brutal massacre in October 2023 and Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip, which sparked a dispute with former Green Bundestag MP and the head of the German-Israeli Society, Volker Beck.
This incident, along with Nietzard's wearing of an "ACAB" sweater and a "Eat the Rich" cap, has fueled discussions about antisemitism, political rhetoric, and the accountability of youth leaders in Germany, further highlighting the complexities of the general-news and crime-and-justice landscape within the European Union's commitment to a comprehensive fight against terrorism.
