Intifada is Permitted. Germany is Lost.
Berlin, March 1, 2025. The city where the Holocaust was orchestrated and from where six million Jews were condemned to death, became the scene of another call for Jewish blood. ‘Yallah Yallah Intifada,’ the mob cried out, unchecked. ‘There is just one solution, Intifada revolution.’ And the German police? They stood there. They listened. They did nothing.
Imagine being a Jew living in Germany in 2025. Imagine yourself passing by this protest, hearing the same war slogans that escalated to suicide bombings on Israeli buses, restaurants, and malls. Imagine yourself aware of the fact that the same ideology that murdered 1,200 Israelis on October 7, 2023, is now openly and proudly commemorated in Berlin streets. And nobody in power raises a finger to prevent it.
The response of the police? One guy got arrested. That’s all. Not even a charge of incitement. No investigation of hate speech. No recognition that these slogans aren’t ‘political discourse’; they’re declarations of war.
Germany continues to remember the Holocaust, yet its failure to crack down on modern antisemitism contradicts its ‘Never Again’ commitment. This is a country in which Jewish schoolkids don’t want to go to school if they’re wearing a Star of David, where synagogues are desecrated, and where Jewish houses are tagged. Where crowds openly called for another Intifada that killed more than 1,000 Israelis between 2000 and 2005 alone. Where pro-Israel activists are assaulted in the streets. Where Jewish journalists reporting on these demonstrations are harassed, interrogated, and even threatened.
Germany ought to have woken up on or after October 7, 2023. It ought to have realized that antisemitism is not a theory; it is a real, growing, lethal force. Instead, it has capitulated. It has stood for the unacceptable. It has left its Jews behind again.
How did this happen? How did Germany shift from atonement to apathy, from ‘Never Again’ to ‘We’ll let it’? How was it possible that a country that guaranteed the Jewish people protection in the past remained oblivious as they were persecuted right under their noses?
Let’s be clear: this has nothing to do with ‘freedom of speech.’ When hundreds are yelling for Jewish extermination? Suddenly, the law gets complicated. Suddenly, rights must be ‘balanced.’
This is Germany’s betrayal. This is the failure of the police, of the government, of the so-called ‘moral guardians’ who have allowed this plague to gain a foothold. Germany claims to be a haven for Jews, yet many feel increasingly unsafe as antisemitism rises.
And no one will prevent it, so it will not end with words. It never does.
