Focus Online: Terrorism Expert Warns: Urgent Need For Reform To Stop Radicalization
Body
“... The Munich attack once again shows the increased threat of terrorism in Germany. Terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler explains why reforms in the regulation of social media, the legal basis of security and police services and the management of migration are urgently needed. Once again, a terrorist attack has shaken Germany. Since the knife attack in Solingen in May 2024, this is the sixth terrorist attack in ten months and, together with the attack in Magdeburg in December 2024, the second terrorist attack in which a vehicle was used as a means of committing the crime. There is currently very little concrete information available about the perpetrator in Munich.”
Fact:
On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
