Since 2016, various left-wing and Palestine-solidarity parties, organizations, and publishing houses have lost their bank accounts, including – on multiple occasions – the Jewish Voice for a Just Peace. Individuals, too, have repeatedly been affected in recent years.

One particularly extreme case is that of Hüseyin Doğru. He was the founder of Red Media, a small but influential left-wing outlet published primarily in English, run from Germany, and known for regularly reporting on Germany’s domestic anti-Palestinian repression. Germany placed Red Media and Doğru on the EU sanctions list. Since then, according to German repression authorities, Doğru is no longer allowed to work or receive benefits. Anyone – including his own wife – who provides the father of several children with money or material support is liable to prosecution.

    This is the official explanation of the sanctions against Hüseyin Doğru:

    Hüseyin Doğru is the founder and representative of AFA Medya A.Ş. which isa media company based in Istanbul. AFA Medya A.Ş. operates “RED”, which comprises a number of media platforms, and which has close financial and organisational connections with Russian state propaganda entities and actors, and shares deep structural ties, including interlinkages between, and rotation of, individual personnel with Russian state media organisations.

    RED has used its media platforms – often publishing under “redstreamnet” or “thered.stream” – to systematically spread false information on politically controversial subjects with the intent of creating ethnic, political and religious discord amongst its predominantly German target audience, including by disseminating the narratives of radical Islamic terrorist groups such as Hamas.

    During a violent occupation of a German university by anti-Israel rioters, RED personnel coordinated with the occupiers to disseminate images of their vandalism – which included the use of Hamas symbols – through their online channels, thus providing them with an exclusive media platform, facilitating the violent nature of the protest.

    Through AFA Medya, Hüseyin Doğru thus supports actions by the Government of the Russian Federation which undermine or threaten stability and security in the Union and in one or several of its Member States, including by indirectly supporting and facilitating violent demonstrations and engaging in coordinated information manipulation.

    I have not researched this individual and therefore I’m not taking a standpoint on the correctness of this information, but I felt like this information was missing from the news article.

      Why do you think the European propaganda is “important information missing”?

      RED has used its media platforms – often publishing under “redstreamnet” or “thered.stream” – to systematically spread false information on politically controversial subjects with the intent of creating ethnic, political and religious discord amongst its predominantly German target audience, including by disseminating the narratives of radical Islamic terrorist groups such as Hamas.

      During a violent occupation of a German university by anti-Israel rioters, RED personnel coordinated with the occupiers to disseminate images of their vandalism – which included the use of Hamas symbols – through their online channels, thus providing them with an exclusive media platform, facilitating the violent nature of the protest.

      Looks like the article very accurately describes what is going on without all the EU pro-genocide propaganda.
