Jew-haters put up masses of posters on Neukölln’s Sonnenallee. Bomb attacks on Israel are celebrated on them and donations for Palestinian terrorists are begged for. Even trees were daubed.
On the posters of the “Palestinian prisoner solidarity network – Samidoun‘ is asked for support from prisoners and so-called martyrs – including terrorists-turned-murderers.
Other posters praise the “Islamic Jihad” bombing of Israel. The rockets “were made by our hands” will fall and cause “blood”, it is said. The posters have been put up en masse between Fuldastrasse and Friedelstrasse.

The district administration is appalled. “Samidoun’s anti-Semitic agitation fuels hatred and endangers social peace in Neukölln,” says Mayor Martin Hikel (37, SPD). This group has its origins in a terrorist organization and is also committed to freeing terrorist murderers. Hikel: “Such propaganda has no place on the streets of Neukölln.”

The administration quickly took action, had posters and graffiti removed. But it wasn’t just posters that were pasted up and house walls daubed. The political vandals didn’t even stop at the trees in the street. How and when the color will be removed is still unclear.
