Jew-haters are marching through the streets of Berlin again – this time at the left-wing radical so-called Revolutionary May Day Demonstration.
By René Garzke
The police are in action with a large contingent in the Neukölln district of Berlin. Around 14,000 participants are on the road.
Among them: blatant Jew haters! Observers of the protest repeatedly documented slogans calling for the annihilation of Israel, the Jewish state.
For example, the saying “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” could be read and heard. In English: “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea”.
A slogan that does not stand for liberating the Palestinians from the terror regime of Hamas, but for the annihilation of the Jewish state, which is to be replaced by the Palestinian state. It is therefore NOT a peace slogan, but a call for violence against Israel.
The “Tagesspiegel” reporter Julius Geiler also reported on a sign praising an intifada – i.e. a wave of terror against Israel.

The police had announced in advance that they would also use interpreters to have Arabic slogans translated and to check whether they were inflammatory. Just a week ago, a demonstration by Jew-haters in Berlin escalated.
The Jewish Forum announced on Twitter that it would monitor the demo and document anti-Semitic incidents. Some banners and demands could be understood as a “call for the violent annihilation of the State of Israel,” the forum later tweeted.
Shortly after the start, the demo was stopped by the officials – some flags were checked and had to be rolled up. It was initially unclear what kind of flags it was.
Pyrotechnics were thrown at police officers from other parts of the demonstration in the early evening. The officers then used pepper spray.
