  1. tl;dr

    Last night, the private property of the Brandenburg State Commissioner for Anti-Semitism was the target of an arson attack and damage to property. Nearby the motives are still being investigated, police said an anti-constitutional symbol was found painted near Büttner’s home. Sources told German news agency dpa the symbol in question was a red triangle, related to Palestinian Islamist group [Hamas](https://www.dw.com/en/hamas/t-19034915). It was found on the neighboring house’s door entrance.

  2. This is absolutely horrible. I can’t believe this is happening again in Germany. It‘s so scary that people are doing things like this.

  3. >“Globalise the intifada”
    “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”
    “Intifada forever”
    “Victory to the resistance”
    “Intifada until victory”
    “Jihad of victory or martyrdom”

    Normalising extremism will inevitably lead to further escalations. The people chanting antisemitic dog whistles calling for a genocide against the Jews should have been arrested, not allowed to “protest”.

    It’s looking like the attackers were Islamists and/or Leftists.

    Reactionary antisemites in Germany prefer to keep their attitudes about Jews extremely private for now. They view Jewish people as Sauron and POC as the Orcs, so it’s an easier sell to instigate an illiberal hatred of immigrants than to attack Jews head-on. If they can tell people that illiberalism will save them from the immigrants, down the line they will be able to exploit new powers against Jews and political opponents.

    Antisemitic Leftists and Islamists are kinda just screaming into the void with this kind of violence, hoping that maybe it will inspire the government to overcorrect against anti-Zionists and drive them to illiberalism, or even anti-Semitism.

    This might well be a false-flag operation carried out on behalf of Israel or even Russia. Just speculation at this point but it’s clear that Israel is preparing a new war against Iran and it’s setting the ground for justifying the attack and getting the media on board with supporting it. We have seen similar actions taken to prepare the Western public for war with Libya, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, etc. it’s a well-worn path that has worked over time and it would hardly be a surprise if the old playbook was being applied for the upcoming attack on Iran.

  6. Why does the antisemitism commissioner have a twitter account? They *like* antisemitism on twitter

    The overlap of the alliance of the far left and Islamists will always be puzzling to me.
