Schweizer was a civil service lawyer and worked as a consultant in the Ministry of Labour. In this year’s federal election, she ran on the Berlin state list for MERA25 and as a direct candidate in Berlin Mitte. The hate campaign that led to Schweizer’s dismissal was triggered by a December 6 post on X in which she accused the Zionist Malca Goldstein-Wolf of waging a “defamation campaign” because she had called the renowned journalist Georg Restle an antisemite for his criticism of Netanyahu’s war.
Goldstein-Wolf apparently researched Schweizer’s occupation and, when she found out that she worked for the Ministry of Labour, made this known on X and initiated a smear campaign against her. Hundreds of Zionist trolls then spread the most vicious slanders against Schweizer and demanded that she be fired.
The media also immediately joined in the smear campaign. On December 11, the tabloid Bild ran with the headline “Heil shocked! Employee spreads vile hatred of Israel” and went so far as to accuse Schweizer of trivialising the Holocaust.
Schweizer was then invited to a staff meeting, then suspended in January and finally dismissed without notice from her job and stripped of her civil servant status in February. At the same time, in the final days of the federal election campaign, her LinkedIn account was blocked without explanation.
Can’t be fucked to go through her feed again, I just did a search “from:herhandle israel” and sorted by “latest”.
She was quoting some other tweet about something Israel did with the comment “Keep this in mind when Hamas returns the hostages as skeletons” or something like that.
And again, whether you agree or disagree with her is completely besides the point. I’m not here to discuss the conflict, I’m just trying to explain the law and why she lost the status as civil servant. And if you’re an American and suspect you’re getting treated unfairly by a civil servant please go and file a complaint.
