German–Israeli Society
The German–Israeli Society (; Hebrew: ''ʾAgudat-ha-Yedidut-Germaniah-Yisraʾel'') is an organization in Germany that promotes relations with Israel. History The Society emerged from the German-Israeli Study Groups (DIS), which had existed since 1957 at the Freie Universität and the Kirchliche Hochschule in West Berlin and at eight universities in the Federal Republic of Germany. The DIS at the Church University was strongly influenced by its rector, theology professor Rolf Rendtorff. In the summer of 1963, together with like-minded people, he began to convince various members of the Bundestag in Bonn of the need to establish diplomatic relations with the State of Israel.

Registered Association
A nonprofit organization (NPO), also known as a nonbusiness entity, nonprofit institution, not-for-profit organization, or simply a nonprofit, is a non-governmental (private) legal entity organized and operated for a collective, public, or social benefit, as opposed to an entity that operates as a business aiming to generate a profit for its owners. A nonprofit organization is subject to the non-distribution constraint: any revenues that exceed expenses must be committed to the organization's purpose, not taken by private parties. Depending on the local laws, charities are regularly organized as non-profits. A host of organizations may be non-profit, including some political organizations, schools, hospitals, business associations, churches, foundations, social clubs, and consumer cooperatives.

Die Tageszeitung
''Die Tageszeitung'' (, "The Daily Newspaper"), stylized as ''die tageszeitung'' and commonly referred to as ''taz'', is a German daily newspaper. It is run as a cooperative – it is administered by its employees and a co-operative of shareholders who invest in a free independent press, rather than to depend on advertising and paywalls.

It mostly supports the alternative green political sphere and the German Green Party, but ''Die Tageszeitung'' has also been critical of the SPD/Greens coalition government (1998–2005). It is one of Germany's most important newspapers and amongst the top seven. It was for a long time described as "alternative-left" and critical of existing ...

Germany–Israel Relations
Germany–Israel relations (; ) are the diplomatic relationship between the Germany, Federal Republic of Germany and the Israel, State of Israel. After the end of World War II and the Holocaust, relations gradually thawed as West Germany offered to pay Reparations Agreement between Israel and West Germany, reparations to Israel in 1952 and diplomatic relations were officially established in 1965.

2015 European Migrant Crisis
The 2015 European migrant crisis was a period of significantly increased movement of refugees and migrants into Europe, mostly from the Middle East. An estimated 1.3 million people came to the continent to request asylum, the most in a single year since World War II. They were mostly Syrians, but also included a significant number of people from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Nigeria, Eritrea, and the Balkans. The increase in asylum seekers has been attributed to factors such as the escalation of various wars in the Middle East and ISIL's territorial and military dominance in the region due to the Arab Winter, as well as Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt ceasing to accept Syrian asylum seekers. The EU attempted to enact some measures to address the problem, including distributing refugees among member countries, tackling root causes of emigration in the home countries of migrants, and simplifying deportation processes. However, due to a lack of political coordination at the European leve ...
