Positions

On September 14, 2001, WDR 5 and then WDR 3 broadcast her radio essay "The price of lies or: The shadows of history", in which she describes the complicity of the West for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 :

“The scale and severity of the attacks against the US may have been surprising, but is it also surprising that the US is falling victim to violent attacks during these times? Should we be surprised that in those parts of the world devastated by war and poverty and environmental degradation, simple solutions are called for, for revenge? Do we not want to understand that terror is not only a malicious but also a desperate answer to the division of the world into rich and poor, into slaves and rulers? "
