Antisemitism: We Can’t Hear the Platitudes Any Longer! With Mathias Döpfner
One year ago, on October 7, 2023, Palestinian terrorists committed the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
However, instead of showing solidarity with Israel, antisemitism is growing stronger. And politics responds with platitudes and empty rhetoric. In this episode, Paul Ronzheimer speaks with Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner about the attack on Israel and its consequences.
Döpfner is shocked by the “cold-heartedness” of many supposedly progressive circles toward Israel and sees Germany at a “crossroads.” The decisions made now will determine whether the path leads to disaster or whether the Federal Republic can draw the right conclusions from Islamism and antisemitism.

Trump's possible Secretary of State and a gloomy message to Germany.
Many German politicians still remember him well – and may soon have to deal with him again: Richard Grenell was the U.S. Ambassador to Berlin under Donald Trump, is considered a close confidant of Trump, and could become Secretary of State if Trump wins the election.
What makes this man, who could soon be one of the most powerful politicians in the world, tick?
Paul Ronzheimer meets Grenell at the Republican convention for an interview – and talks to him about Germany, the Ukraine war, and Donald Trump. The potential next U.S. Secretary of State sharply criticizes the German government and even has strong words for Chancellor Scholz.
It's clear: If Trump wins, a diplomatic upheaval threatens Germany.

It’s an unprecedented event, a political sensation: the Russian dictator is restructuring his power apparatus, replacing the defense minister, and redistributing key positions.
