February 19, 2020. Hanau, Germany. Nine people murdered at two shisha bars by a white supremacist terrorist. Six years later, on January 10, 2026—just five weeks ago—İbrahim Akkuş became the tenth victim, dying at age 70 from injuries sustained that night. This chapter examines Hanau as part of a pattern: the National Socialist Underground—NSU murders (10 killed, 2000-2007), Halle (2019), Walter L...

"Don't make everything political." You've heard it. But what does that phrase actually do? And who benefits when we accept it? This first chapter of Unneutral starts with integration courses in Germany—where migrants learn "German values" like gender equality (while Germany has an 18% pay gap) and punctuality (while trains run 63% on time). Then we trace a line through...

Germany vowed “Never Again.” Yet today, it arms genocide, criminalizes Palestinian and Jewish dissent, and disappears humanitarian witnesses. In this explosive episode: • We expose the interception of the Madleen—a ship carrying 12 humanitarian workers intercepted in international waters while trying to deliver aid to Gaza. Those aboard include: Baptiste Andre, Greta Thunberg, Mark van Rennes, Oma...

What happens when solidarity with Palestine becomes a criminal act? Why was Palestine Solidarity Duisburg banned by the NRW Ministry of the Interior in May 2024? What does it mean to be accused of “psychological support of terror” and anti-Semitism without clear evidence? In this episode, we speak to a spokesperson from the banned group, who reveals the truth behind the 61-page ban order filled wi...

One year into the Palestinian genocide, we bear witness to its horrors in real time—and Germany, one of the complicit states, plays a critical role. Across the country, a growing number of people are standing in solidarity with Palestinians, confronting a power structure determined to silence dissent. But solidarity is no longer enough. In Berlin, resistance against the authoritarian state has int...

In this powerful episode, Julian Assange makes his first public statement since his release from prison, addressing the legal affairs and human rights committee of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. Speaking to lawmakers from 46 European nations, Assange delivers a fiery denunciation of Western imperialism, corporate media complicity, and the erosion of civil liberties. He shares the personal to...

AFD’s recent victories are the result of a society that hasn’t fully come to terms with its past and continues to overlook large portions of its population. The far-right’s rise will persist until Germany, including its left-wing, addresses the root causes of extremism. Germany’s history of colonial violence, racism, and genocide—from early 20th-century East Africa to the Holocaust—still leaves sc...

It can be hard to imagine life in Gaza outside of the constant terror, the bombings, and the continuous tragedy of the Palestinians. It's hard to even imagine anything about Gaza at all, bombed as we are by constant propaganda and fear mongering. So we sat down with Muath, who lived there for most of his childhood and adult life, and he painted for us a picture of a place where life exists, li...

In Münster, Germany, while the university canceled a film screening on the topic of Palestine, a few students aimed to organize a concert in response to imperialist repression and to raise humanitarian awareness—a minimal response to genocide. They booked Leo 16, a self-proclaimed left-leaning bar in the city, as the venue. However, mirroring the right, the left stream canceled the event amid ongo...

'My sister, our land has a throbbing heart, it doesn't cease to beat, and it endures the unendurable. It keeps the secrets of hills and wombs. This land sprouting with spikes and palms is also the land that gives birth to a freedom-fighter. This land, my sister, is a woman.' — Fadwa Tuqan While a genocide happening, the silence of German leaders regarding the plight of women in Palesti...

On February 5th, 2024, a film screening of 'Roadmap to Apartheid' organized by the Institute of Ethnology at the University of Münster was cancelled by the authorities. On January 22, 2024, the same film was postponed.

Germany's manufactured guilt and weaponization of antisemitism aim to justify a settler colonial state, apartheid regime, and Israeli state terrorism, responsible for the deaths of over 20,000 civilians, with over 40% being children. In the German police state, oppression towards those raising their voices against genocide is brutally silencing. From police custody to house raids and police pr...

In authoritarian Germany (which has a clear symptom of being a police state), we have been witnessing the state using police to silence, criminalizing Palestinian voices. Banning demonstrations, censoring freedom of expression, and racial police profiling are significantly on the rise. Not only that, German Police raided the house of a 'Hanau Attack' survivor, just because of criticizing I...

Also we will listen...

Listen how a student has faced racial police profiling and violence in Germany.  In Germany migrants, refugees, and people of color are often disproportionately affected by police brutality. Police brutality has been a serious problem here, but many cases stay unreported and not properly investigated. Also listen to our another guest from KOP Berlin (https://kop-berlin.de/) who discussed in depth...

“The path of least resistance is always to accept the distribution of power as it exists, to ratify and support it either by doing nothing or by lending one’s talents to the implementation of policies that are not questioned or challenged. The cost of this passivity will be borne by the victims of power—but they are far away, often of another colour and culture, and powerless to strike back at us....
