German police officials in the cities of Duisburg and Düsseldorf, located in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, prohibited pro-Israeli supporters from displaying Israeli flags.
During an anti-Israeli demonstration organized by the radical Islamic group, Milli Görüs, which attracted 10,000 protesters last Saturday in Duisburg, two police officers stormed the apartment of a 25-year-old student and his 26-year-old girlfriend and seized Israeli flags hanging on the balcony and inside a window.
The hostile crowd pelted stones and other objects at the flags.
A video that appears on YouTube shows an angry crowd in front of the apartment house and the police forcibly seizing the Israeli flags. The confiscation of the flags was greeted by cheers from the anti-Israeli protesters.
The student told the online magazine Spiegel that he wanted to show "solidarity with the sole democracy in the region," and complained about societal indifference in Germany toward Hamas rocket attacks on Israel.

Why don’t they just ban Jews? Isn’t that the problem, the existence of the Jews?

“our Constitution has eligibility requirements for President. We also have a free press and legislative and judicical brnaches to protect us from an executive usurper.”
And how has that been working out for us lately?

To be fair to the German government, this is probably not just anti-semitism...it probably cowardice too. Kind of ironic considering how they stood up to the Soviets with us for 50 years.

Check your history. The Germans didn’t stand up to the Soviets. They made deals (payoffs) to East Germany to ransom a handful of people while millions remained enslaved. They opposed every effort Reagan made to improve European security. The Germans stabbed America in the back at every opportunity and deserve no credit for the end of the Cold War. None.

*No matter how hard they pretend that they are a completely different culture and society than that which existed from 1914 to 1945, at the end of the day the Germans are still....the.Germans/s*
No, on the contrary—the vast majority of Europeans who were brave and/or had a spine perished fighting for what they believed in during both of those wars, even if those beliefs were not what you or I consider sane.
What’s left is what you see now.

I just guessed at the transliterated name "Milli Gaprus".

Sure, it happens here all the time. The police let the mexican la razor thugs get away with beatings and bloody murder, but jump right in to arrest anyone that opposes them. Easier to arrest peaceful law-abiders, dontcha know. We’re going to have to get over this reflexive tendency to obey the law if we want to get anywhere with these bolshies. They don’t give a fig about the law. They use it when it helps them, ignore it when it doesn’t.

I have also been struck by the many similarities between Hilter and Zero. Last time I watched a Hitler show on The History Channel (yes “the Hitler Channel”) it was the special relating to the current movie “Valkyrie”. In the program when it described Hitler’s young life and how he rose to be “der Fuhrer”, it was alarming how often they could have been describing Zero and his followers.

I think thats what the police chief would like us to believe, but with Germany's past, there is no German alive who doesn't know that doing what they did is antisemitic. No, hanging the Israeli flags infuriated the police and they took out their anger on the Jews, same as always. The police who did that knew exactly what they were doing and who they were doing it to.
