The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the reunification of Germany, brought with it the removal of Allied oversight and influence and the final, technical end of the Second World War. It also brought us a new united Germany as a peaceable but powerful part of Europe. Many of us thought that this new Germany would look nothing like the old Germanies of the Kaisereich or the Third Reich or the Weimar Republic and in the main we were correct.

For a while much of the enthusiasm for the new Germany was justified and many of us marvelled at how the German government managed to incorporate the former East Germany into the Federal Republic. Germany even became, despite its 20^th century history, a haven for Jews who migrated to Germany from the old Soviet Union after the collapse of that Communist nation.

But the good times for Jews in Germany did not last. Idiotic migration and asylum policies followed by the government of Chancellor Angela Merkel that let in tens of thousands of Muslims from Islamic cultures that hate and despise Jews soon made Germany a decidedly unpleasant place to be Jewish. Islamic hatred of ‘the other’ has also made Germany less friendly than it once was for Lesbian Gay and Bisexual Germans or LGB visitors.

The situation in Germany with regards to Islamic hatreds and those who profess them has now got so bad that the Berlin police chief has warned Jewish and LGB visitors to the German capital to be wary of travelling in areas where there are a lot of Muslims. Yes you heard that right, Berlin a place once famous for its clubbing and gay scenes and for the city’s Jewish resurgence is now a place where Jews and gays need to hide who they are.

Newsweek magazine said:

Members of the Jewish and LGBTQ communities are being advised to be careful in some Arab neighborhoods in Berlin the city’s police chief said.

Chief Barbara Slowik told the Berliner Zeitung daily newspaper that the city does not have specific “no-go zones” for people, but some areas are unsafe for members of the Jewish and LGBTQ communities. There has been a rise of antisemitic incidents in the German capital since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. A group of schoolchildren recently was attacked in the city.

“There are no so-called no-go areas, meaning areas that are too dangerous to enter,” Slowik said. “However, there are areas, and we must be honest at this stage, where I would advise people who wear a kippah or are openly homosexual or lesbians to be more attentive.”

Berlin Senate spokesperson Christine Richter told Newsweek that her teams are taking “decisive action.”

I will be interested to see what this ‘decisive action’ will be. Whatever I is I suspect it will be aggressively countered by the various Islamist groups that are operating in Germany. It may generate so much pushback from the Islamists and Leftists that this ‘decisive action’ might end up being a nothingburger.

Newsweek magazine added:

Slowik said she did not want to defame a particular group “as perpetrators,” but she did recognize that there are “certain neighborhoods.”

“There are, unfortunately, neighborhoods in Berlin with a majority of residents from Arab backgrounds where there is open sympathy for terrorist organizations and very blatant antisemitism,” Slowik said.

It is not ‘defamation’ for Slowik to identify Arabs as perpetrators, it’s just stating an honest fact. Before Merkel opened the doors to masses of Jew hating Muslims I could probably have wandered around Berlin wearing a Kippah on my head without too much of a problem. Now, because of the naivety and stupidity of Frau Merkel’s administration I would not be able to do that.

Whilst Germany is doing more than the UK government is doing to counter Islamic radicalism it’s clear that the German government needs to do much more and do it quickly. The German government needs to come down hard on the Islamic savagery that they’ve imported and soon before the problem gets completely out of hand, if it hasn’t already.
