Berlin on Fire with Antisemitism: 756 Cases Last Year, Hamas’ Red Triangle Spreads Fear!
Berlin has become the shocking epicenter of rising antisemitism. Last year, a staggering 756 legal proceedings were initiated due to antisemitism — a massive jump compared to previous years. Is this just a number or a global alarm?
What’s Going On?
Florian Hengst, Berlin’s Antisemitism Commissioner, reveals that anti-Jewish and anti-Israel incidents have exploded, especially during pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Since the Hamas-Israel conflict began in October last year, over 400 cases related to the Middle East were recorded in just the last three months of the year.
But wait, there’s more — a new, chilling hate symbol has emerged: the red downward-pointing triangle. Hamas uses it to mark its enemies, and in Berlin, this sign has appeared on posters, windows, and walls. Yes, you read that right — a symbol once used to mark Nazi concentration camps is now in the hands of a militant group, spreading across Berlin’s streets!
Disturbing Trends
These cases aren’t just statistics. People have been attacked, threatened, and insulted on streets and social media. Calls for crimes against Jews and Israel have become alarmingly frequent. Police also report resistance during interventions, complicating the situation further.
Germany’s Federal Office for Internal Security has explicitly banned the use of the red triangle as a symbol, but that hasn’t stopped its public display. Is this the start of a new wave of hate threatening to engulf Europe?
What Do the Authorities Say?
Hengst is clear: “Decisive and consistent action against antisemitism remains a central concern of law enforcement.” But is that enough? With over 750 cases a year, the question is how long Berlin can keep ignoring this problem.
Conclusion
Berlin is on edge. Antisemitism isn’t just history — it’s the present, and in a form that should alarm us all. Hamas’ red triangle isn’t just a symbol — it’s a warning. Will we ignore it until hate explodes in an even scarier form?
