Trivialization of the Holocaust - Why wasn't this hate protest dispersed?

The German legal authorities view this situation as a clear instance of inciting hatred, an illegal action. The question remains as to why the demonstration, which saw Israel haters make light of the Holocaust against 6 million Jews, was not dispersed.

Context: At 8:40 p.m., the police became cognizant of a poster. Visible from a distance, it stated in big letters, "One Holocaust does not justify another" - this phrase was repeated. These words lead the Palestinian protesters to equate the Nazi extermination of Jews with Israel's actions in Gaza.

A map of Palestine is also visible on it. The state of Israel does not appear on this map.

The police spokesperson made the following statement: "The three suspects, suspected of instigating hatred, were identified, they cooperated after being found, and the poster was submitted to the authorities without resistance. The demonstration afterwards flowed unobstructed. The head of the operation therefore saw no reason to dismantle the rally."

If additional crimes had been perpetrated by the rally's participants, the outcome could have been different, the spokesperson added.

A summary of the hate rally, where notorious clan boss Arafat Abou-Chaker and his brother Nasser partook: Seven criminal complaints. The land map banner was perceived by officials as a potential incitement to hatred, prompting three indictments. The spokesperson also explicitly confirmed this.

The other complaints were due to name-calling and the giving of the Nazi salute.
