Berlin: Man attacked by Muslims for wearing kippah isn’t Jewish, wanted to “see whether it was safe” to wear one

Apr 19, 2018 11:27 am By Robert Spencer

Adam said he filmed the Muslims attacking him as evidence “for the police and for the German people and even the world to see how terrible it is these days as a Jew to go through Berlin streets. I’m not Jewish, I’m Israeli. I grew up in Israel in an Arabic family and I think that it was an experience for me to wear the kippa.”

Indeed it was. “The video shows the attacker shouting ‘yahudi’, Jew in Arabic, and later a bruise on Adam’s torso.”

Welcome to Merkel’s new, diverse Germany. If you oppose her, you’re a neo-Nazi, a racist, an “Islamophobe,” a hater of all that is good.

An update on this story. “Video of alleged anti-Semitic attack in central Berlin sparks outrage,” The Local, April 18, 2018:

German political and religious leaders expressed shock Wednesday over an alleged anti-Semitic attack on two men wearing traditional Jewish skullcaps in central Berlin filmed by one of the victims.

One of the young men targeted, who captured the incident on his smartphone, said they were confronted by three Arabic-speakers shouting insults at them, one of whom lashed out at him with a belt.

Berlin police in their report on Tuesday’s suspected anti-Semitic attack said that the suspect later also threatened his victim with a glass bottle.

In a twist to the story, the author of the video tape, which went viral on social media, a 21-year-old student called Adam, said Wednesday that he is an Israeli Arab.*

He told broadcaster Deutsche Welle that he wore the Jewish kippa gifted to him by a friend to see whether it was safe to do so on the streets of his upmarket Berlin neighbourhood.

He said he filmed the attack as evidence “for the police and for the German people and even the world to see how terrible it is these days as a Jew to go through Berlin streets”.

“I’m not Jewish, I’m Israeli,” he said. “I grew up in Israel in an Arabic family and I think that it was an experience for me to wear the kippa.”

The video shows the attacker shouting “yahudi”, Jew in Arabic, and later a bruise on Adam’s torso.

The incident was described as a “disgrace” for German democracy by a spokeswoman for Chancellor Angela Merkel and by Justice Minister Katarina Barley.

Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said Germany “bears a responsibility to protect Jewish life” more than 70 years after the end of the Holocaust in which the Nazis murdered six million European Jews.

In a video interview with Bild newspaper, Adam said the main attacker seemed to have a “Syrian dialect”….

    Experiment: a success. Conclusion: Jew hatred is NORMATIVE Islam, rather than an aberration.

    Muslims learn about JEW HATRED in their infancy. Jew hatred is the air most Muslims breath according to the following video:

    Didn’t Germany get enough of antiSemitism 80 years ago, now they have to import Nazis from outside?

      At one time or another I had thought that Germany really did want to atone for what it did to the Jews, or perhaps more accurately, what Germans allowed to happen to the Jews after their country had been seized from them. I say allowed because the Germans as a whole did not stand up and be counted, did not work to remove those who had stolen their Germany. That ugly task was left for foreign powers to remedy.

      So I thought Germans had learned, particularly after causing two world wars. But they have not. Now, they are actively inviting in Muslim hordes who think as the Nazis, and if given the chance will pick up where Hitler left off. Their country is not being taken over; it’s being given over by their leaders in Bonn, Berlin, and Brussels.

      And just as in the 1933-1936 period when before the full Nazification of German society had been accomplished, decent Germans could have stood up and be counted and do what was necessary, today’s Germans are acting the same.

        Georg Elser certainly stood up and was counted.

        He was so so close.

        An unemployed, under-educated cabinet maker operating totally alone and he damn near single-handed terminated the Second World War barely as it began.

        Yet we all go wet over Stauffenberg.

        =======================
        At least back then there were countries ready and willing to fight the Cancer of Nazis. Where are those countries now? They are busy importing their own Nazis and oppressing their own people.
        UK, France etc. can’t help because they are going to need help to liberate themselves.
        I think it’s much worse today not only for Jews but for all of us than it was back then.

          From what I’ve been reading, a few countries that were overrun and almost ruined – Czechloslovakia, Poland, Hungary & Roumania (who also suffered under the Soviets, of course) – are now building as many walls and political barriers as possible to stop the Muslim invasion! Hungary is outspoken and, under Orban, has been very successful in stopping these rotten, pisslamic hordes from ruining their country!

        I think Germans ARE trying to atone for the misdeeds of the Nazis, by welcoming hordes of poor, brown people from the third world. It’s a sort of penance, I think.

        Unfortunately, the poor, brown people they’ve recklessly imported in such huge numbers hate Jews as much as any Nazi ever did — and bring a whole host of other evils & societal ills with them.

        Since their economy will be wrecked by this folly, as well as their culture & nation, it would have made FAR more sense for the guilt-stricken German people to simply donate a few billion Deutschmarks to Israel now & then — along with some of their finely-crafted weaponry, to help defend that beleaguered little island of freedom & democracy against its savage, Jew-hating neighbors.

        But instead of helping the (far more deserving & admirable) descendants of the people their Nazi forebears actually wronged, the Germans have committed national suicide by opening the gates to the very barbarians who pose the greatest threat to Jews — and to human rights, basic freedoms, & civilized society as a whole.

        • Norger says

          Apr 20, 2018 at 1:16 pm

          Exactly. It’s beyond ironic that in an attempt to atone for its past sins Germany has decided to import vast numbers of people who adhere to the most violent and dangerous anti-Semitic ideology on the planet.

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 23, 2018 at 1:00 am

          And a lot of the nations inviting in hordes of Muslim invaders were not Nazi–they were either neutral or else were victims of the Nazis.

    • epistemology says

      Apr 19, 2018 at 12:21 pm

      Exactly that’s what Karl Lagerfeld the German born fashion designer living in Paris said on a French chat show the German and French idiots were outraged. Germany should never haver accommodated these anti-Semitic scumbags. The kippa is a Jewish symbol and anybody who attacks someone bearing it is an anti-Semite.

    • UNCLE VLADDI says

      Apr 20, 2018 at 6:56 pm

      Ever since WWII there has been a noticable deficit of Nazis in Germany, and so those that remain must now be treated as a “protected identifiable minority group,” at least according to their libertine liberal brethren.

      And you’re right: it’s far more appropriate to note that the Nazis were really only “white” MUSLIMS!

      How nice of Lebel for tellng us that we can actually consider physical attacks by assailants while screaming Yehudi might actually be considered antisemitic.

      We are to studiously ignore sneering at Holocaust victims, though:

      Notice, further, that Lebel never actually condemns this attack. But then, why would he?

    I am confident that the man engaged in this social experiment will be prosecuted for inciting hatred and extremism. The perps, should the government by happenstance manage to catch them, will get a taxpayer paid mental wellness checkup and some sort of stipend for the inconvenience.

    As for Adam, an Israeli Arab, I am also confident that multiple fatwahs have been issued calling for Sharia sanctions against him, which the German government will probably aide in enforcing.

      Actually it’s more East Germany. When the two united things got a lot worse.
      Bacteria from the other side of the wall spread among the decent Germans.

      Angela might not have been born in East Germany but she grew up there and learned how to think. No wonder she is in love with Muslim Nazis.

    Germany is willing to surrender to Islam just to rid itself of Jews? Big difference here: Muslims will get around to having the German silent majority for lunch after the last Jew leaves or is murdered on the street.

    And this just in, which makes for an ironic piece to this story: question, does anyone think that the lesson of this will be drilled into the publics mind by the msm?

    A 19-year-old Palestinian asylum seeker from Syria turned himself in to German police Thursday after his violent anti-Semitic attack on an Arab Israeli man wearing a Jewish skullcap in Berlin caused outrage across Germany.

    Police said the suspect they had already identified from the footage and witness statements had presented himself with a lawyer and would face a judge to be held on assault charges.

    Bild daily identified him as a Palestinian from Syria named Knaan S. who was registered at a refugee home in Brandenburg state outside Berlin but was most recently living “out of a suitcase” in the capital.

    The victim, initially thought to be Jewish, told German television on Wednesday night that he wasn’t, but wanted to find out whether it was safe to walk in the street dressed as a Jew. He said he wore the skullcap as an experiment because he didn’t believe a friend who told him it’s too dangerous to wear one in public in Germany.

    “I am not Jewish, I am an Israeli and I grew up in Israel in an Arab family,” Adam Armush, 21, told broadcaster Deutsche Welle. “It was an experience for me to wear the skullcap and go out into the street yesterday.”

    He said he filmed the attack on him and a second man as evidence “for the police and for the German people and even the world to see how terrible it is these days as a Jew to go through Berlin streets.”

    • alex smythe says

      Apr 19, 2018 at 10:31 pm

      I wonder if he is an Israeli Arab Christian or Israeli Muslim. It sort of reminds one of the classic film “Gentlemen’s Agreement” in which Gregory Peck’s character pretends to be Jewish, to see how people respond to him. He gets a lot of anti-Semitic flack (and this was the U.S. in the late 1940’s, after WW2).

      • gravenimage says

        Apr 23, 2018 at 1:04 am

        Good reference. Of course, as ugly as that “gentleman’s agreement” was, it pales in comparison to the violent antisemitism of Muslims and the threat they pose to Jews in Europe now.

    • Norger says

      Apr 20, 2018 at 4:46 pm

      “Does anyone think that the lesson of this will be drilled into the publics mind by the msm?”

      Of course not. The msm won’t even report on this story, much less assess the broader implications. Compare and contrast with the extensive coverage given by the msm to the (mostly false) reports of Muslims being persecuted in western countries.

    When is “kippa” day?

    We’ve got “hijab” day, where all women are supposed to wear the hijab.

    Now we need “kippa” day when all men wear the kippa.

    Oh, no interest by the mainstream media on this one? What a surprise!

    • alex smythe says

      Apr 19, 2018 at 10:32 pm

    • mgoldberg says

      Apr 19, 2018 at 11:06 pm

      No… as a jew, there is no idea that all people, all men have to wear a kippa, yamulka for a firmer divinity. To make a ‘kippa’ day is to diminish and stretch the meaning into one that it was never meant to occupy.
      The idea of the freedom to wear a kippah, a yamulka, isn’t a demand to wear it or else, and has never meant this. Creating a wear a kippah day does the opposite of what you wish for.

      How about ‘let’s have an honest discussion about what ‘jihad’ means accroding to Islamic theology, and history, and punish all who riot and or cause public harm for others merely examing and debating this

    History teaches us that migration is a ticking time bomb:

    A fairy-tale attitude makes us believe that we are one extended human family. Facts teach us that quite the contrary is true. Human national, religious or cultural groups compete and combat each other. This is determined by our biological constitution and history is a long record confirming that such is the case. Only those who live in cloud cuckoo land will set down to bend the natural forces to make them conform to their I-have-a-dream fantasy.

      Apr 23, 2018 at 1:12 am

      Not all migration is like this. Muslim migration is, though.
