German police investigating suspected arson against Tesla site
Production at Tesla's European plant near Berlin halted due to a suspected arson attack on a transmission tower, causing a power outage. The extreme leftist group Vulkangruppe claimed responsibility, framing the act as a protest against Elon Musk and 'technofascists.' The incident has led to an investigation by German police and condemnation from Interior Minister Nancy Faeser. The attack coincides with Tesla's controversial plans to expand its site, which has faced local and environmental opposition.
Iranian armed with ax and knife takes hostages on train, shot dead
An Iranian asylum seeker took hostages on a train in the Vaud canton, Switzerland, and was later shot dead by police.

In Germany’s Struggle Against Antisemitism, the Arts Are Suffering
Germany's efforts to combat antisemitism have led to significant censorship in the arts, affecting artists like Candice Breitz and institutions such as the Saarland Museum and Oyoun Cultural Center. Critics argue that the government's stance overly restricts voices critical of Israel and disproportionately targets minority artists. The German government maintains that criticism of Israel is allowed but must not cross into antisemitism. The controversy has sparked a broader debate on artistic freedom, with some fearing that the current climate may drive artists and academics away from Germany.

Czech police are investigating the motive behind a mass shooting by a 24-year-old student at Charles University in Prague, resulting in 14 deaths and 25 injuries. The gunman, who died by suicide, was reportedly inspired by a similar incident in Russia. Authorities have ruled out links to extremist ideologies or terrorism.

In Germany’s struggle against antisemitism, the arts are suffering
Germany's efforts to combat antisemitism are impacting the arts, with cultural events being canceled and artists facing scrutiny over their political views. The German government maintains that criticism of Israel is allowed, but actions perceived as antisemitic are not tolerated. This has led to a climate of fear and self-censorship among artists, particularly those critical of Israel or supportive of Palestinian rights. The Oyoun cultural center in Berlin lost state funding after hosting an event with a controversial Jewish group. Critics argue that these measures do little to protect Jews and instead target progressive voices, while far-right antisemitism continues to rise.
