Axel Springer CEO Declares “I Am a Goy and I Am a Zionist” and Says Europe Must Become More Jewish

Mathias Döpfner runs Axel Springer, one of the biggest media companies in Europe. It owns outlets such as Bild, Politico, and Business Insider. On May 11, 2026, he spoke to the governing board of the World Jewish Congress in Geneva. He opened by saying he is a goy and that he is a Zionist. He told the group that Zionism is not just for Jews and that everyone should support it.He laid out steps to fight antisemitism. One part called for zero tolerance and for removing antisemites from places where the law allows it. Another part pushed European countries to open their doors wider to Jewish families through easier immigration and naturalization rules. Döpfner said Europe’s Jewish population per person is ten times smaller than in the United States. He argued that making Europe more Jewish would test real tolerance and bring gains in education, creativity, business, and stability.Döpfner also attacked social media. He singled out TikTok as one of the most dangerous tools for spreading extremist and antisemitic content, especially to young people. He said the West should follow the United States and force its sale to new owners. He warned that woke thinking acts as a cover for antisemitism and Islamism. As an example, he pointed to climate activist Greta Thunberg. He said she no longer focuses much on carbon emissions but now pushes antisemitic ideas.He criticized empty talk about the Holocaust and “never again.” Döpfner said such speeches have become meaningless because antisemitism keeps growing on streets, campuses, and online. He described Israel as a democracy and a center of Western values in a tough region. At the end of his talk he declared that we all shall be Zionists. The audience gave him a standing ovation.Sick f***s. F**k him and his delusions.Manufacturing Dissent exists because of you. We’re independent—powered only by readers and listeners.
