The Israeli secret service Mossad has apparently been asleep. Or it doesn’t know how to use Google, because otherwise it would have warned the mayor of Bat Yam, Tzvika Brot, and advised him to be particularly vigilant in the Neukölln district of Berlin. Or to cancel the trip altogether.
The background to the visit is the fact that Neukölln has a partnership with Bat Yam. However, the district, which is dominated by the SPD, the Greens and the Left Party, has not been safe for Jews for years. The most recent example of this was the neighbourhood festival celebrated there by the Left Party with Hamas supporters. Now, during Brot’s visit, it became clear who in Germany is responsible for the hatred of Jews.
As Apollo News reported, Brot was called a ‘genocidal murderer’ by Ahmed Abed, the leader of the Left Party faction, at the district council meeting. Specifically, Abed shouted, ‘You support genocide,’ followed by cries of ‘Genocidal murderer, genocidal murderer.’ The faction leader of the Neukölln Left Party was expelled from the chamber, whereupon the remaining Left Party politicians followed him out. The Green Party faction leader, Samira Tanana, also left the chamber during the Israeli mayor’s speech.
According to the newspaper B.Z., Tanana describes herself as a woman from Berlin with a ‘Palestinian migration history.’ According to Apollo News, she was waiting outside the hall with the Left Party politicians. When Brot then ‘left the hall with his bodyguards, he was approached again by the Left Party faction leader Abed. Abed once again accused him of being involved in genocide.’ Brot then reportedly asked the left-wing hecklers, ‘Genocide – surely you mean Hamas?’ Fortunately, Brot had bodyguards with him.
