While the people of Israel are fighting for their lives, clan boss Arafat Abou-Chaker is apparently sitting comfortably on his cell phone in Berlin – and spreading disgusting hate speech.
His 250,000 followers saw a shared post on his Instagram story on Saturday: You can see a map of Israel with numerous markings that obviously show places where Hamas rockets are said to have hit.

The clan boss shared the post in which one user wrote: “I love seeing things like that.” The police are aware of the post and are checking it, said police spokeswoman Beate Ostertag. If necessary, the public prosecutor’s office would be involved, it was said in response to a BZ request.
In the late afternoon, the clan boss apparently deleted his Instagram story.
