Jews and gays must once again beware in German capital city, police chief says



Berlin is once again a dangerous place for Jews and homosexuals, according to the city's chief of police.

The German newspaper Berliner Zeitung recently asked chief Barbara Slowik whether Berlin was safe. Slowik initially tried to avoid characterizing her city as a haven for imported extremism, suggesting, "Berlin is as safe as many other cities in Germany and safer than many other European capitals."

When pressed on whether there were "no-go areas," Slowik, who was instrumental in setting up the Joint Extremism and Counter-Terrorism Center, admitted that "there are areas — and we have to be honest here — where I would advise people who wear a kippah or are openly gay or lesbian to be more alert."

Slowik said she wouldn't "defame any groups of people here" but acknowledged that "there are certain neighborhoods where the majority of people liv[ing there] are of Arab descent, who also have sympathies for terrorist groups."

The German ministry of the interior and community acknowledged in September that the country's worsening crime problem was the result, in part, of "more foreigner crime." Many of the non-Germans hail from Middle Eastern hotbeds for Islamic radicalism.

'It is not the job of Jews and homosexuals to be "more attentive" in certain areas of Berlin.'

According to the publication Junge Freiheit, the number of all registered crimes — not including violations of immigration law — skyrocketed by 4.4% last year to 5.6 million incidents. Rainer Wendt, the head of the German Police Union, highlighted police statistics in April indicating that foreigners now account for at least 41% of all suspects in Germany and are massively over-represented among violent and sexual offenders.

The problem of imported crime bled into 2024 with some high-profile examples, starting right away in the early hours of New Year's Day, when scores of Syrians and Afghan males rioted in several German cities, attacking first responders with incendiary devices and robbing others. Months later, an Afghan immigrant went on a stabbing spree and butchered a police officer at an anti-jihad rally in the southwestern German town of Mannheim.

Anti-Semitic attacks have apparently skyrocketed since Oct. 7, 2023.

"Open anti-Semitism is expressed there against people of Jewish faith and origin," continued the police chief, adding that the force has opened over 6,200 investigations into anti-Semitic incidents, including 1,300 violent crimes, since the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel last year.

'The safety of Jews and homosexuals can only be guaranteed by ending mass migration.'

According to Slowik, the city was able to prevent 24 mass gatherings that were explicitly aimed at celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians.

Other rallies featuring anti-Semitic messaging and glorifying Islamic terrorism have apparently gone unchecked in part due to the fact that bans would not ultimately rid Berlin of the extremists responsible as well as a desire on the part of officials to selectively respect residents' rights to expression and assembly.

Although keen not to encroach on the rights of foreign-born anti-Semites, German authorities have sought to ban, vilify, disarm, de-bank, and criminalize the popular Alternative for Germany party and its members, largely over their criticism of mass immigration, open borders, and Islamization.

Marie-Thérèse Kaiser, a member of the AFD, was convicted of a "hate crime" in May for sharing statistics about the disproportionate number of gang rapes committed by immigrants, specifically Afghan nationals, and for asking whether multiculturalism means accommodating rape culture.

Just last week, 113 German lawmakers from various leftist and establishment factions reportedly signed an application to begin proceedings to ban the AFD. They appear especially concerned by recent polls showing that the AFD ranks second going into the 2025 federal election.

While kneecapping the AFD is a key priority for the German political establishment, the AFD alternatively appears keen on tackling the fallout of Germany's failed multicultural project — having learned independently what former British Home Secretary Suella Braverman concluded in 2023: that "uncontrolled immigration, inadequate integration, and a misguided dogma of multiculturalism have proven a toxic combination" for the West.

The AFD said in a statement Tuesday that Slowik's admission about no-go zones was "an absolute declaration of bankruptcy for [Christian Democratic Union]-governed Berlin," adding that this "is what 'cosmopolitan' Berlin looks like under a CDU mayor."

"The police chief is turning the responsibilities on their head. It is not the job of Jews and homosexuals to be 'more attentive' in certain areas of Berlin, but rather it is the job of the CDU-led Senate to be 'more attentive' to consistent deportations, protected borders and an assertive constitutional state," said the AFD.

"The safety of Jews and homosexuals can only be guaranteed by ending mass migration," added the AFD statement.

Berlin is far from the only Western city where Jewish citizens have been told to keep their heads down to avoid the fallout of liberal elites' promised cultural enrichment.

Blaze News reported earlier this year that London's Metropolitan Police threatened to arrest Gideon Falter, the head of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, in April for daring to be "quite openly Jewish" in the English capital's Aldwych area while pro-Hamas protesters were demonstrating nearby.

A police sergeant took notice of Falter and his kippah cap and confronted him, saying, "I'm sure there are an awful lot of people of all sorts of faiths and creeds who want to go where they want. But unfortunately, today is different."

"So basically, because I'm Jewish, I can't cross the road today?" asked Falter.

"Because of the march," said the sergeant.

Falter pressed the issue, saying, "Yes, because I am Jewish?"

"That is part of — unfortunately part of the fact," said the sergeant.

British police issue series of apologies after cop threatens to arrest 'quite openly Jewish' Londoner



London's Metropolitan Police have issued multiple apologies after threatening to arrest a man who dared to be "quite openly Jewish" in the English capital's Aldwych area.

A police sergeant instructed Gideon Falter, the head of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, not to cross the street Saturday over concerns that his presence might vex some of the tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian radicals who took to the streets of London demanding both a ceasefire and that the British government cut off its supply of arms to Israel.

Footage shows the confrontation between police and Gideon Falter, whom the Telegraph indicated was walking with friends after attending synagogue, wearing his kippah cap and carrying a bag containing his prayer shawl.

In one clip, the sergeant can be heard saying, "I'm sure there are an awful lot of people of all sorts of faiths and creeds who want to go where they want. But unfortunately, today is different."

"So basically, because I'm Jewish, I can't cross the road today?" asked Falter.

"Because of the march," said the sergeant.

Falter pressed the issue, saying, "Yes, because I am Jewish?"

"That is part of — unfortunately part of the fact," said the sergeant.

In another clip, Falter can be both heard emphasizing that he wants to leave and seen attempting to press on; however, the sergeant holds him back, saying, "When the crowd is gone I will happily escort you out. ... I don't want anybody antagonizing anybody."

"I just want to walk across," says Falter.

The sergeant makes clear that he is concerned about Falter's apparently provocative identity.

"At the moment, sir, you are quite openly Jewish," he tells Falter. "This is a pro-Palestinian march. I am not accusing you of anything, but I am worried about the reaction to your presence."

Falter was later told that he would be arrested if he remained in the area.

"If you choose to remain here — because you are causing a breach of the peace with all these other people — you will be arrested," said the sergeant.

\u201cYou are quite openly Jewish. This is a pro-Palestinian march. I am not accusing you of anything, but I am worried about the reaction to your presence.\u201d\n\nEnough is enough. It is time for a major change.\n\nOn Saturday 27th April \u2014 the next anti-Israel march \u2014 we are asking you,\u2026
— (@)

Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist initially released a statement claiming the "video posted by the Campaign Against Antisemitism will further dent the confidence of many Jewish Londoners which is the opposite of what any of us want."

"In recent weeks we've seen a new trend emerge, with those opposed to the main protests appearing along the route to express their views," continued Twist. "The fact that those who do this often film themselves while doing so suggests they must know that their presence is provocative, that they're inviting a response and that they're increasing the likelihood of an altercation."

The Metropolitan Police later issued a double apology, first apologizing for Twist's remarks and then for the initial "openly Jewish" remarks.

Concerning Twist's statement, the Met Police stressed, "Being Jewish is not a provocation. Jewish Londoners must be able to feel safe in this city."

Concerning the video of the sergeant threatening arrest over Falter being "openly Jewish" in an apparently inopportune place, the police said, "We are aware of this video and fully acknowledge the worry it has caused, not only to those featured, but also anyone who watches it, and will review the circumstances."

"We have always said that we recognize the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to be an issue of concern for many Londoners, and this includes the regular protests and marches in central London," continued the statement. "Everyone has the right to travel throughout the capital in safety."

The Campaign Against Antisemitism wrote on X, "It is the right of every Londoner, Jewish or not, to walk freely around the city. If police threaten Jews with arrest for doing so or consider the mere presence of Jews to be 'antagonistic', then the Met has decided wholesale to curtail the rights of Jews in order to appease lawless mobs."

Falter has criticized the police further, suggesting that instead of "addressing that threat of anti-Semitic violence, the Met's policy instead seems to be that law-abiding Jewish Londoners should not be in the parts of London where these marches are taking place," reported the Telegraph.

"In other words, that they are no-go zones for Jews," added Falter.

Falter has indicated he plans to "go for a walk" on April 27 "as a private individual, as a Londoner, [and] as a Jew," and has invited others to join him.

Indianapolis police say 'terrorist' drove her car into a building after mistaking it for a Jewish school: 'I'm just getting my anger out'



A woman was arrested Friday after allegedly driving into a building she had figured for a Jewish school. Ironically, the building 34-year-old Ruba Almaghtheh admitted to plowing her Chevy Impala into belongs to a group known for similarly being anti-Semitic.

Almaghtheh, who appears to have come to the U.S. from Jordan, intentionally drove her car into the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge in the 3500 block of North Keystone Avenue around 11:30 p.m. on Friday, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police.

In footage of her arrest shared to the ISUPK's YouTube page, Almaghtheh can be heard denouncing Israel, criticizing America's support for Israel, and admitting, "I'm just here because if I don't do anything, I'm going to really have a heart attack sitting in my fricking chair. ... I'm just getting my anger out."

TERRORIST ATTACK ON AMERICAN SOIL ISRAELITE SCHOOL OF UNIVERSAL PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGEyoutu.be

According to court records, an adult, a 7-month-old baby, and three toddlers were inside the school at the time of the attack, reported the Indianapolis Star. No one was injured.

WXIN-TV reported that Almaghtheh told officers she had been watching news coverage of the Israel-Hamas war and hatched a scheme to attack the ISUPK, figuring it for a Jewish "Israel school" on account of the "Hebrew Israelite" symbol on the front of the building.

The Anti-Defamation League considers the ISUPK "an extreme and antisemitic sect of Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI) who believe that they are the only true BHI group because of ties to early organizations." Some BHI adherents assert that "white people are agents of Satan, Jews are liars and false worshipers of God, and Blacks are racially superior and the only true 'chosen people.'"

According to the IMPD, Almaghtheh said, "Yes. I did it on purpose," referencing "her people back in Palestine" and her inability to "breathe any more."

A probable cause affidavit for her arrest indicated that Almaghtheh also admitted to her sister during a courtesy call that she intentionally crashed into the building.

Officers reportedly labeled her a "terrorist."

Almaghtheh is reportedly being held at the Marion County Jail on a preliminary felony charge of criminal recklessness but was not formally charged as of late Monday, said Michael Leffler, a spokesman for Marion County Prosecutor's Office.

She is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.

Captain Chaapash Yahawadah, the leader of the school, stated Monday, "We are not affiliated with the white Jewish community. We are not affiliated with what's going on over there in the Middle East," underscoring that "the black community will not be a whipping stick for the Palestinians."

The Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis said in a statement, "The threat level for our community has not increased. Safe Indiana, our Jewish community security program, was immediately notified, and has been working alongside law enforcement on this incident. Safety and security for our community is of the utmost importance, and we are more secure and prepared than ever before."

The organization suggested, "Although a Jewish facility was not targeted, solely due to ironic misidentification, this is yet another reminder to maintain security protocols, remain vigilant of suspicious activity and to report same promptly to the appropriate authorities."

Surprise, surprise: George Soros has been funding pro-Palestinian groups for several years



Billionaire George Soros is about as anti-American as it gets. His appointed DAs dismiss crime, allowing lawlessness to run rampant in our cities. He’s allegedly poured millions into Black Lives Matter and has even been accused of funding ANTIFA and the George Floyd riots.

While Soros’ involvement in these racially-fueled protests and riots isn’t totally clear, we do know for certain that since 2016, he’s funneled more than $15 million into pro-Palestinian groups — “the same ones that are organizing all of these mass protests in the streets around Europe and in our own country,” Keith Malinak tells Pat Gray, citing a New York Post article published just days ago.

“Far-left billionaire kingmaker George Soros has funneled more than $15 million since 2016 to groups behind this month’s pro-Palestine protests, where demonstrators openly cheered Hamas militants’ craven terrorist attacks on Israel,” the article stated.

“Isn't it something how the pro-Palestinian sentiment also seems to come completely equipped with anti-Americanism?” asks Pat.

“But don't call out people like George Soros for funding this kind of hate because then you're somehow, in some twisted way, you’re the anti-Semite,” adds Keith.

And he’s right — people who criticize George Soros have long been labeled "anti-Semitic” despite the fact that the “philanthropist” has openly supported groups that hate Israel and Jewish people.

Detroit police claim brutal stabbing murder of synagogue president is not a hate crime



Detroit police claimed Sunday there is no evidence suggesting the murder of a prominent synagogue leader is connected to anti-Semitism.

The lifeless body of 40-year-old Samantha Woll was discovered outside her home near downtown Detroit early Saturday morning with multiple stab wounds. A trail of blood near Woll's body led police back to her residence, where they believe the crime occurred.

The fact that a prominent synagogue leader was found brutally murdered amid increasing incidents of anti-Semitism led to speculation that Woll was targeted because of her faith. But Detroit Police Chief James White attempted to quiet that speculation on Sunday.

"The investigation into the death of Ms. Woll remains ongoing. At this time, however, no evidence has surfaced suggesting that this crime was motivated by antisemitism," White said in a statement.

"DPD investigators are working with the FBI to forensically analyze all of the information obtained up to this point in an effort to ascertain the timeline that ultimately led to Ms. Woll's death," White's statement added, WJBK-TV reported. "I again ask the community to remain patient while our investigators and law enforcement partners continue their work. Everything that can be done to bring this matter to closure is being called into service."

White did not disclose how investigators came to their conclusion or what evidence points investigators away from a hate crime at this time.

According to WDIV-TV, police found an Israeli flag inside Woll's home that was not damaged, which could be why they believe the crime is unrelated to her Jewish faith.

The FBI and Michigan State Police are assisting the investigation.

Woll was a politically connected religious leader who served as the board president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue and previously worked as deputy district director for Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.).

Approximately 1,000 mourners gathered to remember Woll at her funeral on Sunday. Those in attendance included Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) and state Sen. Stephanie Chang (D), the Detroit Free Press reported.

Police are expected to provide an update about the investigation on Monday.

CONTENT WARNING: What NO ONE is telling you about Hamas and Israel



Glenn Beck is not one to shy away from the truth, even if the truth is as ugly as it gets.

On his Wednesday Night Special, Glenn exposes what’s actually going on between Israel and Hamas, specifically highlighting the events the mainstream media and our own government refuse to disclose.

“Warning: You are about to see shocking images tonight … [and] uncomfortable video,” says Glenn, but “the only way we can defeat evil is by naming it and identifying it and then standing up against it.”

The first clip he shows is footage of a reporter describing his findings in Israel.

“We saw one home in which the terrorists had barricaded themselves, and so the IDF had to come in and demolish the structure, and when they pulled the rubble apart, they found the bodies of eight small children who had been tied to one another and shot,” he reported, adding that they “also found the bodies of a couple who were embracing when they died.”

But despite the horror, there are still pro-Palestine rallies occurring across the globe.

“Do you remember how the entire country – the world – rallied together in the wake of 9/11? There was no debate that the Taliban and al Qaeda were evil [and] they had to be dismantled at all costs, [so] why is the world treating Israel's 9/11 so differently?” asks Glenn before displaying a video of a recent rally in Amsterdam where “thousands gathered in support of Gaza and Hamas.”

What’s perhaps even more disturbing is the fact that our own government seems to be taking the cowardly path of neutrality. Just three days ago, "Squad" members proposed a resolution to Congress that called for a ceasefire, despite the intended genocide of Hamas. Further, Biden’s visit to Israel has been framed not around the slaughtered Jews but rather around the idea that “Gaza faces humanitarian catastrophe.”

“Is there any wonder why so many people are misinformed about Hamas and Gaza when our own elected officials are effectively telling Israel not to respond to their 9/11? Are terrorists really free to kill over 1,300 people as long as they're Jews?” asks Glenn in disgust.

For those who believe Gaza citizens are entirely innocent, Glenn plays a video of “civilians walking into Israel cheering as the Jews are getting slaughtered” when Hamas first launched its attack.

“Many of these same civilians are probably following an IDF leaflet to safety today,” he adds, referencing the thousands of warnings Israel has issued before planned attacks in an effort to spare as many civilian lives as possible – even though those same “civilians of Gaza handed the Hamas terror group power.”

“Do you know any other country in the world that would risk tipping off their enemies before attacking?” asks Glenn.

And while the death of any child is tragic and horrifying, Glenn argues it’s important to understand that Palestinian children are indoctrinated from an early age to harbor a deep hatred for Jewish people.

He then plays another video of seven young Palestinian students explaining what they’ve been taught in school. Here is what each boy said:

“At school they teach us about Jews. They teach us that they are bad people. They killed our young.”

“They teach us in school that Jews are fickle, bad people. I am ready to stab a Jew and drive [a car] over them.”

“I will fight. I will ram a car into them.”

“We have to constantly stab them, drive over them, and shoot them.”

“Stabbing and running over Jews brings dignity to the Palestinians. I am going to run over them and stab them with knives.”

“Right now, I am prepared to be a suicide bomber.”

“With Allah’s help, I will fight for ISIS, the Islamic State.”

“This is what happened in Germany,” says Glenn. “For Hamas, children are instruments of war just as they were with Hitler.”

“Jewish children Hamas sees … as human shields and bargaining chips,” he explains before playing “a video that Hamas published showing off the children – the Israeli children – they stole.”

The horrifying footage shows Hamas soldiers carrying crying children who have been ripped from the arms of their parents – many of them babies who can’t even walk yet.

“There can be no ceasefire with people like this,” says Glenn before displaying the “Hamas Charter,” which unabashedly states “that the killing of Jews and the destruction of Israel is their main goal.”

If you don’t believe us, read the Hamas Charter for yourself at glennbeck.com.

Here’s something that’s even more disturbing: That’s only the first fifteen minutes of Glenn’s special. To get the complete picture – the unvarnished truth – of what’s happening between Israel and Hamas, watch the full episode below.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib gets upset when Jewish constituent confronts her about Israel's right to exist: 'You work for Netanyahu?'



A video resurfaced over the weekend showing Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) refuse to endorse Israel's right to exist.

In December 2019, a woman who identified herself as a "concerned Jewish constituent" confronted Tlaib on Capitol Hill about Israel's right to exist. But instead of answering the question, the video, which was obtained by Fox News, shows Tlaib mocking her constituent.

"You work for Netanyahu? Oh, no? The Likud Party!" Tlaib responded.

The constituent, having clearly identified herself as an American citizen, then told Tlaib that "it's really concerning for me that you can't just say that you believe Israel should exist."

At that point, a visibly frustrated Tlaib questioned whether the constituent understands what "coexist" means.

"Oh, my God. Do you understand what that means? To coexist?" the congressman asked.

"I absolutely do," the constituent responded.

"That everyone should coexist. Why isn't that beautiful? That should mean coexist," Tlaib responded. "That means everyone should feel safe, no matter who they are or what their background is."

When the constituent asked if co-existence means Jews are allowed to live a country in which they feel safe, Tlaib shot back, "If it means my grandmother can't exist equally as a human being then, no. Right? So coexist. Separate but equal doesn't work."


The interaction happened the same year that Tlaib appeared to suggest that Israel exists to the "detriment" of Palestine.

In an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," network anchor Jake Tapper asked Tlaib the same question as the constituent — whether Israel has a "right" to exist in the land where it exists now — and Tlaib tried to deflect.

"I truly believe the state of Israel exists, correct," Tlaib answered. "But, understand, does it exist in the detriment of inequality for the Palestinian people, detriment of not really moving forward in a peaceful resolution? We're never going to have peace, I truly believe, if separate but equal is the way they want to go.

"We're not going to have peace if we don't understand that we are dehumanizing Palestinians every single day when we choose Israel over their rights," she claimed.

Tlaib has called for a cease-fire in Gaza after Israel responded to Hamas' brutal terrorist attacks. The White House later condemned her and other far-left Democrats for their remarks about the ongoing conflict.

The REAL Reason Hamas Attacked Israel: Glenn Beck, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin REACT | Glenn TV | Ep 310

Volodymyr Zelensky Is No ‘Jewish Hero’

To anyone who takes Jewish identity, tradition, and survival somewhat seriously, Zelensky should not be considered a ‘Jewish hero.’
