A pro-Palestine demonstration escalated in Berlin. A video on Twitter shows a protester trying to break into the home of a German citizen. He threatens: “I’m Palestinian and I live here. Wait, you motherfucker!” Outside, the violent mob shouts intifada slogans.
Ten minutes before a pro-Palestinian demonstration arrives, a German shows his solidarity with Israel. He plays the Israeli national anthem, Hatikvah, over a loudspeaker and holds up the flag on the balcony. Finn Wandhoff, a member of the Junge Union, tells X: “The officers forced their way into his flat and asked him to stop the loudspeaker action immediately – allegedly so as not to “provoke” the demonstrators.
He obeys the officers, stops playing Hatikvah, but then raises the Israeli flag again as the mob marches through his street. Then things escalate: hundreds of Israel opponents outside his front door go berserk, insulting and shouting at him. Suddenly, one of them storms into his house, bangs on his front door and shouts: “I’m Palestinian and I live here. Wait, you motherfucker!”.
So the victim calls the police and presses charges. Incredibly, according to Wandhoff, the police comment on the incident with the words: “But you were clearly provocative.”
Since the Hamas terrorist attack on 7th of October, there have been repeated anti-Israel demonstrations in Germany. Palestinians were already celebrating in Berlin on the day of the attack.
