Berlin Police Chief Warns Jews and LGBTQ+ to Exercise Caution in Certain Neighborhoods

[Social Media]

 

Berlin's police chief, Barbara Slowik, has issued a stark warning for Jews and LGBTQ+ individuals in the German capital, advising them to exercise caution in areas with large Arab populations due to a climate of hostility and potential danger. "There are areas of the city, we need to be perfectly honest here, where I would advise people who wear a kippah or are openly gay to be more careful," Slowik stated. 

 

She pointed to certain neighborhoods, particularly those with a significant Arab presence, as zones where such caution is warranted. "There are certain neighbourhoods where the majority of people of Arab origin live, who also have sympathies for terrorist groups," she said, adding that attitudes in these areas can be "openly hostile towards Jews."

 

Germany has witnessed a sharp increase in anti-Semitic incidents, particularly since the escalation of violence in Gaza. Reports of anti-Semitic acts have doubled in 2023 compared to prior years. According to Slowik, Berlin police have launched over 6,000 investigations into anti-Semitism-related cases since October 7, most of which involve hate speech or graffiti. However, some incidents have been far more violent. A football fan was attacked for wearing a scarf emblazoned with the Star of David. A synagogue was targeted with a petrol bomb shortly after the Hamas attacks on October 7 in southern Israel. Additionally, a couple was assaulted in a fast-food restaurant for speaking Hebrew.

 

The October 7 massacre also saw an unsettling response in the Berlin district of Neukölln, where men were observed handing out sweets to celebrate the attacks. This incident underscored broader concerns about the impact of recent waves of migration on Jewish safety in Germany. Neukölln, known for its vibrant LGBT nightlife, has the city's highest Arab population. While Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities have coexisted in the district for years, tensions remain. Physical assaults on gay couples have occurred in the area, highlighting ongoing challenges in ensuring safety and acceptance for all.

Police should ruin some stings.  Have some gay looking men or jewish garbed people walk there and when attacked swoop in and arrest them.  If they are not born in Germany deport them.  Win win.

"exercise caution in areas with large Arab populations due to a climate of hostility and potential danger". It is the duty of the Police to REMOVE this danger. Perhaps send them back to where they will feel less "hostility".. I wonder how Europeans would get on in Arab states if they exhibited anger and hostility.. would the leaders of Arab nations just warn fellow Arabs to be careful ?

A result of incompetent and unqualified prior politicians letting in any of this certain group in the first place and they take zero blame for their incompetence.

I hope the Germans are enjoying the cultural enrichment.

 

After all, diversity is their greatest strength 😆.

Obviously those prior years are not counting 1935-45.

I am surprised any Jews at all would want to live in Germany.

Anyone who isn’t obeying the laws of the country they immigrated to should be deported immediately or arrested then deported. The longer you wait the worse it gets.

Obvious yes but you took it upon yourself to state the obvious and then top it off with an illogical remark

Bit rich the Germans blaming Arabs for antisemitism.

They are only doing jobs that the lazy Germans won't do and they are a huge boost for the economy. What's wrong with avoiding particular areas? It's only haters, racists and bigots that are unhappy about it.

Would you like to explain why its a bit rich for Berlin's police chief, Barbara Slowik to warn Jews to exercise caution in areas with large Arab populations due to a climate of hostility and potential danger?
