Berlin is divided again – but this time not into East and West.
The wall is no longer made of concrete slabs like it used to be. Worse still: this time the line is drawn between Berliners who are affected and horrified by massacres of civilians – and Berliners who applaud the bestial murders of Jewish children and old people.
The latter mostly come from Berlin families with an Arab migration background. It has to be said, a breach of civilization that divides our city.
In Neukölln, hatred of Israel and Jews is now so great that an anti-hate demonstration had to be canceled yesterday for security reasons. The Jewish football club Makkabi Berlin has stopped playing to protect its players.
Berlin is divided again – this time into people and inhumans.
