The heart of Berlin serves as the location for this event. - Who instigates the protests of anti-Semites?
On Wednesdays, three anti-Israel protests occurred in Berlin, where participants hurled pyrotechnics, bottles, and stones at law enforcement officers, occasionally striking them with flagpoles. As a result, 19 criminal proceedings were initiated, three of which involved injured police officers.
On Thursdays, the scene was remarkably similar. The anti-Israel demonstrators in Kreuzberg and Neukölln pelted police with bottles and eggs. In one instance, a police vehicle was pelted with rockets.
The Riot Demonstrators' Motivation
The protestors showed a mix of left-wing youth and Islamic extremists, with some demonstrators advocating the establishment of a caliphate in Germany.
On May 26th, Ahmad Tamim from the "Generation Islam" group was noted by the Berlin Secret Service. Tamim was one of the many men congregating around him at a rally, forming a tight-knit circle.
Tamim and his friends reappeared at the next demonstrations. Fouad Abou Zaher, a regular speaker at the protests, was often in the limelight. He sang chants such as "Child killers, Israel; Women killers, Israel."
Israel-hater Israel has been a fixture at three evening protests since May 26th, encouraging a boycott of Zara. In separate videos, he excitedly railed against German media.
Other members of their friend group include Atooya Ata and Serhat Sisik, better known as "Aggression Problems." Ata acted as security at a recent protest and utilized Instagram to showcase the burning Israeli Embassy in Mexico.
Sisik primarily leverages his significant social media following (172,000 followers on Instagram) to draw attention to the riot demonstrations. He boasts of multiple complaints against him for "public incitement to crime, slander, defamation of political persons."
When Will Berlin Crack Down on This Situation?
The Berlin Police are preparing for potential future demonstrations in Kreuzberg and Neukölln, likely involving a mix of peaceful protesters, those intent on committing crimes, and aggressive youths.
"There are some older Palestinians who voice their opinions—mostly peacefully," said Slowik. "Then there are those ready to commit crimes. And then there are younger individuals, often referred to as 'intensifiers,' who see this as an opportunity to unleash their aggression."
How Will Berlin Police React?
The police intend to take a firm stance in the coming days and nights. They plan to use searchlights, water cannons, and police dogs, if necessary and proportionate.
