The event program read still harmless: a month was the festival "After The Last Sky" Palestinian actors from drama, dance, music and visual arts provide a platform for exchange and encounter. But instead of a peaceful encounter of artists the festival fell in Kreuzberg Ballhaus Naunynstraße to rendezvous radical activists.

Approximately two weeks ago on Saturday, the penultimate day of the festival: In an event of detained Palestinians in Israel not only solidarity was called for with the prisoners, their violent acts were approved. It was the festival organizers a big concern, to raise awareness of the situation of Palestinian prisoners, said Nadija Samour, the lecturer of the event. "Almost every Palestinian family has a relative in prison - we want to remind our event also to the struggles that they have put behind bars and they continue to fight for them."

Not even armed attacks by Palestinians on Israelis would Samour condemn - on the contrary: "I do not care why these people are in prison, I ask this question not," she said. The Palestinian resistance is a "legitimate response" to the Israeli "apartheid regime" that the Arab minority population for decades oppressive: In the creation of Israel, the Palestinians have been deprived of "ethnic cleansing" of their country and would since then every day "in and learn by Israel racism ".
