After the debut of his WDR broadcast, the 31-year-old received a number of nasty anti-Jewish agitation letters, he lists examples in the explanatory text under the song’s YouTube video.
“The atmosphere in the world is becoming more and more toxic. Especially in the world of social media, ”said Donskoy. “The situation in Israel and Palestine also means that more and more Jewish people are exposed to anti-Semitic agitation.” The Jewish artist from Berlin said he opposed hatred and reacted with art instead of agitation. “The release of“ Jude ”is a very emotional one for me – my first track in German. Because it’s about Germany. About a respectful cooperation. “
The song was published on all major streaming services. Donskoy donates all proceeds from the downloads to the initiative hassmelden.de.
