Hate on the internet: Words become weapons

A young Syrian posted his joy at the fall of Assad on social media. The result: out of 635 reactions, 620 were full of hate and incitement. There are many “trolls” on internet forums. They want to hurt, threaten and intimidate the writers with their comments, for example. Posts by trolls who like to use fake profiles often overstep the boundaries of freedom of expression. Their hate speech is often directed against minorities and attacks their dignity. Those affected can defend themselves against this.

Contemporary history live: Assad’s fall and a tuenews workshop

by Wolfgang Sannwald They didn’t sleep at all. Or only for a short time, with their cell phones next to their pillows. The overthrow of the Assad regime in Syria and the last hours of the Assad regime deprived our Syrian colleagues at the tuenews workshops in Heilbronn of sleep. How are family members in Damascus, Aleppo or in the towns near the coast? Are they safe? This weekend belongs to Syria, especially the night from Saturday, December 7th to Sunday, December 8th, 2024. One of the topics on the agenda was the developments in the country. They overwhelmed us.… Read More

Einbürgerungen: Die meisten kommen aus Syrien

Immer mehr Syrerinnen und Syrer lassen sich einbürgern. Im Jahr 2023 erhielten 75 500 Männer und Frauen aus diesem Land einen deutschen Pass. Das waren 56 Prozent mehr als im Vorjahr. Dies meldet das Statistische Bundesamt. Bereits ein Jahr zuvor hatte sich die Zahl der Eingebürgerten in dieser Gruppe verdoppelt. Das Amt erklärt das mit der großen Zahl von Geflüchteten, die zwischen 2014 und 2016 wegen des Bürgerkriegs aus Syrien nach Deutschland kamen und nun die Voraussetzungen für die Einbürgerung erfüllen. Menschen aus Syrien stellten damit im vergangenen Jahr die größte Gruppe unter den Eingebürgerten – mehr als jeder dritte… Read More

The first step is to contact the parcel service. Providers such as DHL, Hermes or DPD explain on their customer portals what to do – as quickly as possible. The company from which the goods were ordered does not have to deliver the goods again if the parcel is lost – for example, if the parcel service has only left the shipment outside the front… Read More

Naturalizations: Most of them come from Syria

More and more Syrians are being naturalized. In 2023, 75,500 men and women from this country received a German passport. That was 56 percent more than in the previous year. This was reported by the Federal Statistical Office. The number of naturalized citizens in this group had already doubled in the previous year. The office explains this with the large number of refugees who came to Germany from Syria between 2014 and 2016 due to the civil war and now meet the requirements for naturalization. People from Syria therefore made up the largest group of naturalized citizens last year –… Read More

Xenophobia and hostility towards Muslims on the rise in Germany

In western Germany, approval of xenophobic statements has increased significantly and is thus approaching attitudes in the east. This is according to the Leipzig Authoritarianism Study 2024, which was conducted at the Competence Center for Research on Right-Wing Extremism and Democracy at Leipzig University and was recently published. In the West, the proportion with a closed xenophobic world view has risen from 12.6% (2022) to 19.3%. 31.1 percent of respondents in the West agreed with the statement that Germany is „over-foreignized by so many foreigners“. Two years ago, the figure was 22.7 percent. In the eastern German federal states, approval… Read More

Ammertalbahn ends in Tübingen

From mid-December, trains on the Ammertalbahn will only run between Tübingen and Herrenberg. Anyone wishing to travel to Bad Urach via Reutlingen will therefore have to change trains in Tübingen from December 15. Previously, most trains ran between Herrenberg and Bad Urach. The “Zweckverband ÖPNV im Ammertal” (Ammertal public transport association) explains this with the problems that previously existed on the route: Because the trains were often late, on average one in four passengers who wanted to change to the S-Bahn in Herrenberg missed the train. The new timetable – known as the island solution – should improve this situation.… Read More
