Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Israeli beaten by Arabs at BDS event – Berlin

May 10, 2019 11:00 am By marc

Daniel Gurfinkel, an Israeli clarinet player, studying music in Germany never expected to be “beaten up by a mob of Arabs” at an anti-Israel event in Berlin. He must be a little naive.  Violent anti-Semitism has been growing fast in Merkel’s new Germany as she imports the ‘new Nazis’. No arrests, the Brown Shirts were also given a free pass.

Berlin: Israeli clarinet player beaten at anti-Israel event

Watch: Participants at pro-BDS event in Germany assault Israeli man

An Israeli musician studying in Germany was attacked by a mob of Arabs at an anti-Israel event in Berlin last week.

As can be seen in footage of the incident which surfaced Thursday, an Israeli man, later identified as 27-year-old Daniel Gurfinkel, was beaten by a group of Arab men at a pro-BDS, anti-Israel event held in Berlin’s Hermann Square.

Gurfinkel, a clarinet player, is studying music, along with his twin brother, at Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler music conservatory in Berlin.

The incident occurred last Saturday, as Gurfinkel was passing through the square, when he noticed the anti-Israel demonstration which was being held there to protest the upcoming Eurovision competition in Tel Aviv.

When Gurfinkel called out “Israel” in response to the anti-Israel demonstration, he was immediately attacked by a group of Arab men.

“Immediately, right after the first word I tried to get out to defend Israel, they already started to attack me,” Gurfinkel said, according to Israel Hayom.

Police officers at the scene were slow to respond, Gurfinkel said, initially choosing to ignore the attack.

“They beat me over the head, and the police who were passing by responded with indifference.”

Only after five minutes or so did the police intervene, Gurfinkel said.

“I’ve been living in Berlin for about four years now, and I never imagined that something like this would happen.”

Despite the violent attack, Gurfinkel said he would “continue to defend by country.”

There are no reports of arrests.

    But it isn’t called ‘RACISM’ when the ‘Pallies’ do it.

    It isn’t called ‘HATRED’ when the ‘Pallies’ do it.

    It isn’t called ‘APARTHEID’ when Jordanians and ‘Pallies’ do it.

    Germany is lost! Merkel is the enemy within Germany ! How do german citizens keep electing her when she does not have their best interests in mind, as she allows the unfettered immigration/invasion of Muslims and illegals into Germany?? Tax paying german citizens are paying for all the benefits Merkel gives the invaders, i.e., rent, medical, welfare, food stamps, etc. less than 5% of all immigrants work ! These invaders bring crime, disease, no go zones, rape gangs, riots, etc on a daily basis. It’s the definition of insanity. I pray the German citizens vote her out of office before it’s too late!
    God save Germany before they lose their identity, culture, and sovereignty!

      Why do people still vote Democrat in the US? Or Tory/Labour in the UK? Or Macron’s party in France? Or Trudeau’s in Canada?

      Because they are TOLD by the mass media that ANY other opinion is “WRONG” and “NAZI”. And most people are AFRAID to be labeled that.

      Besides, these days having a different opinion can get you into jail (UK), violated by Antifa (Germany, US) as well as doxxed, deplatformed, libeled as a “Nazi” (and worse) and without a job thanks to leftist SJW-activists on Twitter.

      Just see what happened to Tommy Robinson or Carl Benjamin. If this trend continues murdering “inconvenient” people because of their inconvenient opinions isn’t far away. They sure as hell tried it with Tommy Robinson.

        Odd part of all of that is that voting is a private matter with a secret ballot.

        So people can and do vote one way but say differently in public.

      Us Germans who according to Merkel are not Germans any longer, just people who have lived here somewhat longer time have to endure these impressions every day now. Many with fists in the pockets because if they say anything they are called a right-wing fascist or racist and lose their job. The do-gooders and refugees-welcomers are still ruling …

    In Germany arrests not normal.
    Police only check your Passport.Last year a Syrian Refugge killed a German for no reason.He is still free and wait for the Judge.He was not 1 day in jail.

    No immediate response/initial indifference by police? No arrests? What does this sound like? To me, strong echoes of early 1930s Germany

    Germans have a history of liking to beat up Jews and even do worse to them too and so they look favourably on Muslims doing the same.

    Marc, The SA and Muslims have something in common, a desire for Young Boys with the complexion of Pearls. When Hitler no longer needed them and wanted the backin of the Generals he slaughtered the SA on the Night of the Long Knives. Supposedly even Hitler was disgusted what the Leadership of the SA was doin to the Hitler Youth Boys in that Resort where he killed most of them.

    Berlin has the highest number of non-integrated muslim “migrants” in Germany (some have been here for decades). Our capital city is turning into shithole city – in a country that’s also turning into a shithole country. Thanks to Ms. Merkel.

    And we are most certainly NOT proud of Berlin, its muslim parallel culture and muslim antisemites.

    These people are NOT German. They don’t AGREE with us and they don’t WANT to be like us. And we Germans DO NOT agree with them.

      Very distressed to hear these comments on what has happened to Berlin. Having stayed with friendly Berliners as a boy, I have the most affectionate memories of the place. Those were the days of The Wall. I stayed in one of the few buildings left standing in the Wilhelmstrasse. I grieve for Germany under Merkel, and for the future..

      • Fritz says

        May 11, 2019 at 6:11 am

        The problems in Berlin have been going on for DECADES.

        The Turkish (muslim population in general) NEVER really integrated (Helmut Schmidt and Helmut Kohl admitted it). Even if these people have a German passport (thanks to idiots Schroeder & Fischer), they insist on being “Turks”. Worse the fact, that since the end of the Cold War lots of muslim organisations have radicalised the younger generations – and newcomers.

        When I was at school 9 out of 10 Turkish YOUNGER women would NOT wear a hijab but dress and behave like the rest of us. And those wearing it were considered “country bumpkins” etc. by the others. I heard “she has strict parents” VERY often back then.

        NOW 6 out of 10 young women wear the hijab – EVEN CHILDREN OF 10 YEARS (AND BELOW). Many because they have been told to and peer pressured to do so. But also because they WANT to be different from us and our culture. Because “their” imams and “their” media and “their” families brought them up, educated and indoctrinated them to believe and want it.

        Which means we have lost several generations to islamic radicalisation – and a growing HOSTILE parallel culture. This does not bode well in years to come. Hell, this doesn’t even bode well RIGHT NOW.

        18 out of 1000 Western people may become radicalised to violent terrorism.
        12 out of 1000 Asian people may become radicalised to violent terrorism.
        1 out of 10 muslims may become radicalised to violent terrorism.

        Hear the clock ticking?

    And nothing in the News – IF there would be anything they would blame ” Neo – Nazis ” as usual 🙁 So they give us a feeling of guilt , again . Sad thing is Police may not touch Muslims — IF they are arrested and in court – they get away with everything even murder . Danke , Merkel !

    (According to this below….)

    “Truth About Antisemitism”

    — Rabbi Manis Friedman

    Consistent
    Reproducible
    Ugly and Nasty

    Core is friction between nature and supernatural
    Different realities => discomfort of it all… despite assimilation
    What is it about Jews that Jews don’t fit? Jews are miraculous in origin.

    When a Jew relates to God it isn’t necessarily a religion.
    Jews are connected to God regardless of religious aspect.
    Anti-Semitism is a question of why Jews do not submit to regular reality.
    How did Jews get beyond the laws of nature?
    How did Israel get beyond all other nations?
    Jews are an unnaturally different reality than anyone else.

    • FYI says

      May 10, 2019 at 7:15 pm

      Israel and the Jews…

      In these times take note of..

      1.The Book of Joel 3

      These are God’s promises to the Jews:for Justice,Israel’s re-establishment,future survival against enemies.

      {In relation to the Shoah,note that YHWH is a God of JUSTICE Joel 3 v 19-21 “I will not spare the Guilty”.
      You have to believe that the Biblical God is good and does not ordain evil and so WILL do justice on behalf of the innocen..tin symbolic terms; ” Egypt will become a desert… because they attacked the land of Judah and killed its INNOCENT people”

      2. One thing Jews and Christians have in common;the LAW
      {=the 2 Chief Commandments+the Exodus 20 ‘ten’}

      The MEANING of the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets?
      “Do for others what you want them to do for you”
      Matthew 7 v 12

      The Two Chief Commandments{#1 LOVE of God Deuteronomy 6 4-9,#2 LOVE of neighbor Leviticus 19;18}
      are defined as “the WHOLE LAW of Moses and the teachings of the prophets DEPEND on these 2 chief laws”
      Matthew 22 v 40

      It is a wise Rabbi who can see this:Christianity,if TRULY lived has the SAME ultimate basis as Judaism in terms of the LAW{the 2 chief commandments+the Exodus 20 ‘ten’ are the exact same in both religions}

      3 Note that islam’s pagan Arab god evolved from hu bAAL the god of the kaaba..

      “If the Lord is God,follow Him.But if baal be god,follow him”
      I Kings 18 v 21

      Al lah is NOT the Biblical God;allah teaches contrary to the 2nd chief commandment in k5:51 and in islam there is a Doctrine of Hate[al walaa wal baraa}and the teachings of the koran are in total violation of the Exodus 20 laws.

      Note that the koran k5:20-26 CONFIRMS the right of the Jews to Israel..

      4 No need to worry about Israel’s survival:Why would YHWH allow Israel to be re-established in 1948 only for its enemies to defeat it?Note Biblical prophecies play out AGAINST the enemies of Israel.
      Always remember David vs goliath….the God of Israel cannot be defeated by any earthly force:not even by Al Lah and his muslims{but of course they don’t see that,just as mighty goliath didn’t see his downfall at the hands of David, a Jewish shepherd boy}

          May 10, 2019 at 9:35 pm

          False Prophecy — all about deception and using just enough truth reference
          for convincing others to disbelieve in the Christian Christ.

          Hilal = Crescent Moon
          Shachar = Morning Star
          STAR AND CRESCENT

          Islam — worship of the Beast
          Muslims have that black meteorite in the Ka’bah as their idol.

          John Preacher: “Islamic Anti-Christ”

          * Islam is Baal Worship *
          Allah is just another name for lucifer.
