German Police Removed Israeli Flag 'To Calm' Muslims
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
A German youth said police broke into his and his girl friend's apartment to remove a Jewish flag in order to calm screaming Muslim protesters.
"Today, 10,000 people demonstrated against Israel here in my hometown of Duisburg and to express their solidarity with Hamas," said the writer in his report, originally posted on the Muqata blog site.
He said he and his friend responded by placing two large Israel flags in the windows of their third floor apartment.
"During the demonstration, which went through our street, the police broke into our flat and removed the flag of Israel," he wrote. "The statement of the police was to de-escalate the situation because many youth demonstrators were on the brink of breaking into our apartment house.
"Before this they threw snowballs, knives and stones against our windows and the complete building. We both were standing on the other side of the street and were shocked by seeing a police officer standing in our bedroom and opening the window to get the flag . The police acquiesced in the demands of the mob."
The mob cheered and applauded when the Israeli flag was whisked away.
The Arabic-language satellite network Al Jazeera reported that many of the demonstrators were from the Turkish community.
Hundreds of thousands of others protested throughout the world against Israel's counterterrorist campaign and burned dozens of Israeli and American flags.
A crowd in London was estimated at 100,000, and tens of thousands in Paris chanted, "We are all Palestinians."
A Toronto pro-Hamas demonstrator screamed at pro-Israel supporters, "I want the war to continue because I want Hizbullah to wipe the state of terrorism off the planet....You're being wiped off the planet! That's a promise."
Muslims in Denmark chanted, "Down, down Israel, down, down USA, down, down democracy, down, down Denmark." One Muslim executed the Nazi salute and shouted, "We want to kill all the Jews, all the Jews should be slain, they have no right to exist!"
I’m sure that was all that the Muslims needed all along and everything will be peaceful now ever after. /S
We should fly Israeli flags here in the US, draw them out in the open.
Muzzie-bait them.

The Germans are starting to bow down to their new masters like good little dhimmis. I imagine the jizya will be official in a few years, too.

Why stop there? Why not burn the flags? that would really have thrilled the crowd.
When are we going to realize there is no lunatic fringe it is the majority of left. IMHO
the information age has made spreading insanity so easy.
So let’s ban Christmas and the Cross from public places - ban all things that hurt the sensitivities of Muslims .... yep, that’ll satisfy them ..... /s off
Removing a Jewish flag isn’t anything new for the German police, so they may not have required too much encouragement.
Some things never change.
The tinkling a tiny glass fragments...
PS - notice how all these events are in Eurostan? I wonder what would happen if they tried the same thing here? True, there were demonstrations in FL and CA but no rioting ... I wonder what would happen if they demanded we do the same things like banning anything that would hurt their feelings ... maybe our democracy first? It’s one of the things they hate.
Absolutely uncivilized barbarians. Islam is a cancer on humanity, IMO.
The religion of pieces.
Aren't they more used to painting Jewish starts ON windows?

.."oh our Germany trip has been canceled?"
Their grandparents burned synagogues in the ‘30s.
Keep up the good work Israel. Your check is in the mail.
It would have been easier to release the police dogs and fire hoses on the protesters rather than to have to walk up three flights of stairs and take flags out of the windows.
Why not- they collaborated with the Nazi regime during the “old century”. Haj Amin al-Huseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, was a personal friend of Hitler who chided the Fuhrer in a speech in Berlin for not killing the Jews quickly enough. Also, the SS established an all-muslim unit in Yugoslavia.
"Before this they threw snowballs, knives and stones against our windows and the complete building. We both were standing on the other side of the street and were shocked by seeing a police officer standing in our bedroom and opening the window to get the flag . The police acquiesced in the demands of the mob."
I guess the police never thought to arrest those throwing knives, stones, snowballs against the windows.
WAKE THE H#LL UP WORLD. THIS IS FOR REAL.

Germans taking down the Star of David. I guess old habits are hard to break.
Well it’s not what I’m asking for but the possibilities ... I know that there’s a lot of anti-Christianity going on esp. in schools what with the ACLU and all -but- it’s what one group (i.e. Muslims) want and will get if we don’t do something about it. When the backlash happens it might be too late as in Europe .... the governments are giving their countries away to these people ....
This is nuts. Pallys act like Nazis and the German Police accomodate them?
1939: Brown Shirts
2009: Keffiyehs
A neutron bomb would have been a better solution
I like how you think.
One step ahead of you. Got Israel Air Force caps and shirts being shipped to me as I type this. :0

Germans set up camps to clam Muslims too.
How’d did that turn out for them?

Don’t blame the cops; riotous mobs can be tricky to handle. Blame the politicians for not immediately announcing that all muslims in Germany would be forcibly deported.
Looks to me the Germans are taking down the Star of David to save Jewish lives, am I wrong?
Atonement for their fathers sins?
Either way about it I would say its almost open season here in the US against Islam.
Only thing better would be a bounty.
Imagine the detainees getting out of Gitmo and then move into our neighborhoods, trying to re-educate them failed. ones that were released are right back into terrorism.
Like the old story about one animal asking the scorpion to carry him across the river or he would drown, the scorpion though stung his friend which asked why, “It in my very nature, I cannot help myself”
If the German police had eliminated the Jews rather than just the flag, the demonstrators would have been much happier.
Try that here and we’ll show you “upset”!
Like grandfather, like grandson.
Too right.
Well, little forkers, we feel the same about y'all. Only we could do it if we really wanted to play "Cowboys and Muslims", you pissants can only shout about it.
I'll be Ma could have calmed them down a lot more quickly and effectively. Ma-Duece that is.
Oh no... that might upset the Muslims.
*BARF*
Absolutely sad pictures. Thankfully the responsible police president will be forced to step down.
If people want on or off this list, please let me know.
