Four teenagers in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/germany" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Germany</a> have been arrested for allegedly planning an Islamic terrorist attack against Christians and Jews.
Deutsche Welle, a German public state-owned international broadcaster, <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/germany-3-teens-held-over-suspected-islamist-attack-plans/a-68800624" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that three teenagers — two girls aged 15 and 16 and a 15-year-old boy — had &#8220;glorified&#8221; ISIS and &#8220;declared themselves ready&#8221; to carry out an “Islamist-motivated terror attack” against churchgoers and police.
The suspects were arrested in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The Associated Press <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/3-teenagers-suspected-planning-islamic-extremist-attack-arrested-109157987" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that a fourth teenager, a 16-year-old boy in the southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, was also arrested.
Police arrested the suspects on pending charges of &#8220;declaring themselves ready to commit murder and manslaughter and preparing a serious act of violence,&#8221; the report said.
The teens planned to use knives and Molotov cocktails to carry out the attacks. Investigators recovered a dagger and a machete from the suspects.

The investigation was launched after officials suspected that the 16-year-old girl was planning to leave Germany to go to Syria to fight for ISIS.
Investigators found on her cell phone messages that indicated possible targets for their Islamic terror attack included churches and synagogues in Dortmund, Duesseldorf, Cologne, and Iserlohn.
DW reported that one of the suspect&#8217;s fathers had been under investigation because they suspected he was raising money for ISIS.

Tesla was forced to stop production at its assembly plant in Germany this week after a far-left extremist group destroyed a high-voltage pylon that resulted in electricity going down at the plant and the surrounding area.
<a href="https://www.dw.com/en/germany-tesla-gigafactory-hit-by-far-left-sabotage/a-68440976">Deutsche Welle</a>, a German public state-owned international broadcaster, said that the &#8220;Volcano Group&#8221; was responsible for the attack on the power grid.
&#8220;We sabotaged Tesla today,&#8221; the extremist group said in a letter, noting that it specifically targeted &#8220;the electricity supply.&#8221;
Police in Brandenburg said that the terrorist attack cut power to thousands of homes in the surrounding region, impacting approximately 60,000 people. Power was restored to most of the area later in the day but the power remained down at Tesla’s Gigafactory in Grünheide.
Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck said: “The attack on the electricity supply is an attack on our critical infrastructure. This must now be clarified and punished quickly. Violence and sabotage must not be a means of conflict.”
Tesla reportedly indicated that production at the plant will not restart quickly following the attack. The automaker has the ability to produce 500,000 vehicles per year, a number that Tesla CEO Elon Musk reportedly wants to double.
&#8220;These are either the dumbest eco-terrorists on Earth or they’re puppets of those who don’t have good environmental goals,&#8221; Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1764998660406845620">said</a> in response to the attacks. &#8220;Stopping production of electric vehicles, rather than fossil fuel vehicles, ist extrem dumm.&#8221;
&#8220;Ist extrem dumm&#8221; is German for &#8220;is extremely dumb.&#8221;
German news media reported that the damage to Tesla will be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
“We are deeply, deeply shocked by what happened today,” said Tesla representative André Thierig. “Hopefully it will become clear over the course of this week whether we can start again at the beginning of next week.”

The commander of Germany&#8217;s military Space Command warned late last week that the purported nuclear weapon that Russia is considering developing for use in space would render space unusable, potentially forever.
Speaking at an event at the Munich Security Conference, Major General Michael Traut weighed in on the recent revelation about the weapon by the U.S. last week.
&#8220;If somebody dares to explode a nuclear weapon in high atmosphere or even space, this would be more or less the end of the usability of that global commons [of orbit],&#8221; said Traut. &#8220;Nobody would survive an action like that — no satellite, either Chinese or Russian and American or European. If somebody calculates rationally, nobody would employ such a weapon in space.&#8221;
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH), who drew public attention to the matter last week, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/turner-on-why-he-sounded-alarm-on-russian-space-weapon-biden-hiding-inaction-like-with-chinese-spy-balloon">said</a> during an interview over the weekend that part of the reason that he decided to call attention to the classified issue was because he was concerned that the administration was trying to cover-up their inaction on the issue in the same way that they tried to with the Chinese spy balloon.
Lt. Col. “Tony” Vincent, an active duty scientist in the United States Air Force (USAF) who is currently the Director of Advanced Physics Courses at the Air Force Academy, wrote in a September 2022 piece about the dangers that are posed by a nuclear weapon being detonated in space.
Vincent <a href="https://warontherocks.com/2022/09/getting-serious-about-the-threat-of-high-altitude-nuclear-detonations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highlighted</a> what happened when the Atomic Energy Commission, in collaboration with the Defense Atomic Support Agency, detonated a nuclear weapon in low Earth orbit back in the Summer of 1962:
<blockquote>The test was codenamed Starfish Prime and it revealed an unfortunate lesson: Even one high altitude nuclear detonation is particularly effective at destroying satellites. Not only were satellites in the line of sight destroyed, but even satellites on the other side of Earth were damaged and rendered inoperable. Starfish Prime damaged or destroyed roughly one third of all satellites in low Earth orbit at the time.</blockquote>
Vincent said that commercial satellites need to become hardened against radiation to avoid being susceptible to a nuclear space weapon, but cautioned that while the cost to do so has fallen, “this practice historically drives the component price up by roughly factors of 10 to 100 while potentially increasing size and mass of the total payload.”
He warned that there were two primary reasons that a country would want to use a nuclear weapon in space: to devastate America’s economy and/or to disrupt the U.S. Military’s space-based assets that it uses for command and control.
“A nuclear explosion in space disproportionately hurts the United States as the largest single investor in space capabilities,” he wrote. “The United States nets almost $200 billion per year of real gross output from its space assets. Even though military satellites are designed to withstand a harsher charged particle environment, radiation hardening is not a magic cloak of invincibility. Military space assets will be degraded over time from the artificially amped radiation belt created from the nuclear detonation, meanwhile commercial satellites in low Earth orbit will be the first to fail from continually passing through these particle hot spots. Most satellites with a line of sight to the nuclear detonation will be destroyed from the resulting x-rays. Military space capabilities for command and control along with reconnaissance assets may still function for a period following the detonation, but the economic impact of degraded informational space products will be immediate.”
Vincent further wrote that the threat that a nuclear space weapon could be used is higher than what most people likely think because a nuclear detonation in space against infrastructure would not necessarily mean that the U.S. would respond with a nuclear strike against the aggressor:
<blockquote>Once an adversarial nation with a disadvantage in space capabilities detonates a nuclear weapon in this domain, there is no benefit to respond with a similar attack. This act would further degrade space-based assets…
The attacked nation, then, must consider responding with conventional or nuclear weapons on Earth. Targeting cities and military installations with nuclear weapons is not an in-kind response to the initial action of nuking space and represents another significant escalation in the conflict. Space assets are not on par with human lives. Further, the attacking nation will also have nuclear weapons in reserve, and with the right mix of forces can hold targets at risk. Therefore, the attacked nation would have to weigh escalating to nuclear weapons use, knowing that it would invite a nuclear response on targets in the homeland. The obvious response is to signal that the use of nuclear weapons in space would be treated as a nuclear attack on Earth, but an adversarial nation could consider such a threat non-credible.
A nation may also be deterred from acting because every nation in the world is dependent upon space products to some degree. Therefore, using a nuclear weapon in space would be “self-harm.” However, as the history of war reveals, nations choose self-harm, such as when they collapse their own bridges and burn fields, to prevent an invader from gaining ground. Nuclear weapons are at the pinnacle of threat escalation, so the use of one is a sign of desperation with diminishing alternative options.</blockquote>

A German-Iraqi woman accused of finding a doppelgänger online and then killing the woman in order to fake her own death is now on trial.
Sharaban K., as she’s referred to by German media, and her boyfriend, Shequir K., were charged with murder after they allegedly lured the victim, Khadidja O., to Ingolstadt, Germany, and stabbed her to death, People Magazine <a href="https://people.com/woman-accused-killing-doppelgaenger-plot-fake-death-8430836" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The couple’s trial began on Tuesday.
Sharaban and Shequir have pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors alleged that Sharaban planned to kill the doppelgänger in an effort to fake her own death, after which she planned to go into hiding to avoid her family. Relations between her and her family had reportedly grown strained after Sharaban’s failed marriage, Der Spiegel <a href="https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/ingolstadt-junge-frau-soll-ihre-doppelgaengerin-ermordet-haben-a-1c343196-e055-402c-8a6e-d091af35c4ef" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;According to the investigation, it can be assumed that the accused wanted to go into hiding due to internal family disputes and for this purpose wanted to fake her own death,&#8221; the Ingolstadt public prosecutor&#8217;s office said in late January 2023, according to Der Spiegel.
Sharaban allegedly found the 23-year-old victim on Instagram and lured her to her death using promises of a free treatment at a beauty salon. Prosecutors allege Sharaban had sought out other women using the same ruse, the BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67991425" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1705604838822000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2_j2KMpwVRLCzwAoGaYKL5">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
The victim was allegedly picked up by Sharaban and Shequir in the southern German town of Eppingen and then driven to Ingolstadt in the German state of Bavaria. While driving, the victim was allegedly stabbed 56 times and beaten before the couple abandoned her body, and their black Mercedes, in a forest.
The similarity between Sharaban and the victim initially led her family and authorities to believe Sharaban was the dead woman in the car, but she and Shequir were arrested the next day after they were seen at a local pizzeria. After interviewing witnesses and online history, Sharaban and Shequir were charged with murder.
The pair is also suspected of attempting to hire a hitman to kill Sharaban’s ex-boyfriend’s brother. They paid the alleged hitman €5,000 to carry out the murder, but the man never killed the brother.
&#8220;It was an extraordinary case that demanded all the investigators&#8217; skills,&#8221; a spokesman for the local police force, Andreas Aichele, told German media outlet <a href="https://www.bild.de/regional/muenchen/news-inland/doppelgaengerinnen-mord-von-ingolstadt-neue-haftbefehle-gegen-taeter-duo-82726602.bild.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bild</a> last year. &#8220;We don&#8217;t have a case like this every day — especially with such a spectacular twist. On the day we found the body, we didn&#8217;t expect it to turn out like this.&#8221;
Shequir is also accused of trying to persuade a fellow inmate to kill witnesses involved in the case, the BBC reported.
The trial began on Tuesday, but was delayed after defense attorneys argued they needed more time to examine additional documents recently submitted by the prosecution. The court is expected to rule next week on whether it will suspend the trial.

German authorities have detained five individuals over a suspected Islamic terror plot to blow up the Cologne Cathedral on New Year’s Eve. 
Police detained a 30-year-old Tajik man in connection with the alleged plan last week, which authorities say was going to involve an attack on the historic church involving car bombs. On Sunday, police <a href="https://apnews.com/article/germany-cologne-cathedral-threat-detention-extremism-282b5967185cc54fc02d1970371d07c4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> they had detained three more suspects in the cities of  Duisburg, Herne, and Dueren, all in western Germany. A fifth individual, a 41-year-old German-Turkish man, was <a href="https://apnews.com/article/germany-cologne-cathedral-threat-detention-extremism-1a563072df853c808187197cde1e0ca4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">detained</a> on Monday. 
Cologne police official Frank Wissbaum said he was glad the suspects were in custody so they could “no longer communicate with each other.&#8221; 
Cologne police said that the individuals detained were not plotting alone but linked to a terror network that operates throughout Germany and Europe. Herbert Reul, the interior minister of North Rhine–Westphalia, the state where the cathedral is located, thanked authorities for their “success” in preventing an attack. 
Access to the cathedral was limited following the discovery of plans for the attack. One thousand police officers were stationed at the church on Sunday, and the parking garage was also searched for explosives.
“Islamist terror is still a threat on German streets,” Reul said. “We have often suppressed that. And whenever there is a one-off event like this, we are all very electrified again.”

The Cologne Cathedral is one of the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cologne-Cathedral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most well-known</a> churches in Germany. Construction began around 1248 and continued intermittently for hundreds of years. It was completed in 1880 and is believed to have been the tallest building in the world for about four years. The structure is still recognized as the biggest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe. 
Authorities throughout Europe and the U.S. have been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/plane-carrying-379-people-catches-on-fire-after-runway-crash-in-tokyo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on high alert</a> for terror threats in the wake of Hamas attacks on Israel. Police in Austria have made arrests over suspected terror plots and were concerned that St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna might be targeted in an attack.

Law enforcement officials in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/germany" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Germany</a> and Austria arrested multiple suspected Islamic terrorists this week who were allegedly planning terrorist attacks on Christmas or New Year&#8217;s Eve.
The <a href="https://www.jpost.com/international/article-779351" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from the German publication Bild said that several suspects were arrested in the Ottakring district of Vienna and that another was arrested in Saarland, Germany.
The report said that the suspected terrorists were Tajiks who were connected to the Islamic State in Khorasan Province, also known as ISIS-K.
Police in Vienna said that there was an &#8220;increased terror alert level&#8221; as Islamic terrorists &#8220;across Europe are calling for attacks on Christian events &#8211; especially around December 24th.&#8221;
&#8220;The security authorities have increased the corresponding protective measures in public spaces in Vienna and the federal states,&#8221; the police added, noting that they would be increasing their presence and at religious events to deter any attacks.
In Vienna, St. Stephen&#8217;s Cathedral was at high risk for an attack while German officials were so concerned about an attack at Cologne Cathedral, they swept the building looking for explosives.

The Cologne Police said that they were taking &#8220;special protective measures&#8221; to prevent Islamic terrorist attacks, but they did not disclose details about what they were going to do so that terrorists could not adjust any plans they may have.
&#8220;We will take everything into account this evening to ensure the safety of cathedral visitors on Christmas Eve,&#8221; said Chief of Cologne Police, Michael Esser. &#8220;In coordination with the security officer of the cathedral chapter, the cathedral is searched with sniffer dogs after the evening mass and then locked. Tomorrow all visitors will be screened before entering the church.&#8221;

German intelligence officials reportedly believe hundreds of Hamas terrorists live inside the country, a revelation which follows a recent terrorism <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/multiple-hamas-terrorists-arrested-in-europe-for-planning-terror-attacks-reports">bust</a> there last week involving several alleged members.
The Sunday Times <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hamas-british-man-arrested-terror-plot-anti-jewish-rfldf07s2">reported</a> that a British pro-Palestinian activist living in Berlin is accused of running a Hamas terrorist network across Europe. The suspect&#8217;s name was not given, and no details were provided about any arrest or criminal charges.
The German interior ministry said in internal government documents that the man was secretly “in charge of Germany for Hamas” and that he had contacts with Hamas&#8217; top leaders. The report said that German intelligence agencies believe there are approximately 450 Hamas terrorists inside the country.
It is believed that the man&#8217;s parents grew up in the U.K. after his parents left the Palestinian territories in 1948 after the Arab-Israeli war erupted. German law enforcement has identified the man as being the leader of the “central propaganda organisation of Hamas in Europe.” Israel&#8217;s security services say that the man is involved in &#8220;initiating and organising radical and violent activity against Israel in Europe.&#8221;

The Times said that there was no indication if the man was connected to seven people who were arrested last week in three European countries for allegedly planning terror attacks against Jews. The arrests took place in Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, the three countries said on Thursday.
German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/multiple-hamas-terrorists-arrested-in-europe-for-planning-terror-attacks-reports">said</a> in a statement that German law enforcement “in cooperation with Dutch authorities, (on Thursday) arrested four members of Hamas who were planning attacks on Jewish institutions in Europe.”
“Abdelhamid Al A., Mohamed B., Ibrahim El-R. and Nazih R. have been longstanding members of HAMAS and have participated in HAMAS operations abroad,” prosecutors <a href="https://www.generalbundesanwalt.de/SharedDocs/Pressemitteilungen/EN/aktuelle/Pressemitteilung-vom-14-12-2023-Nr-57-Englisch.html?nn=677796" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. “They are closely linked to the military branch’s leadership.”
Three of the suspects were arrested in Germany, while another was arrested in the Netherlands. Three additional suspects were arrested in Denmark on terrorism-related charges, but it was not clear if they were connected to the other four suspects.
“On behalf of HAMAS, Abdelhamid Al A. started searching for an underground weapons cache in Europe no later than spring 2023, which the organisation had created in the past in a conspiratorial manner,” prosecutors said. “He received his orders from HAMAS leaders in Lebanon. The weapons were due to be taken to Berlin and kept in a state of readiness in view of potential terrorist attacks against Jewish institutions in Europe. In October 2023, Abdelhamid Al A., Mohamed B. and Nazih R. travelled repeatedly from Berlin to look for the weapons, with Ibrahim El-R. providing assistance.”

Out of nine immigrants convicted in the case of a gang rape of a 15-year-old girl in Hamburg&#8217;s city park in September 2020, only one was sentenced to prison time by a German regional court, according to reports.
The court found all nine men — who reportedly hailed from Afghanistan, Armenia, Egypt, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, and Poland — guilty, but only one got prison time; two years and nine months in prison without parole, while the others were suspended on probation or preliminary probation.
The court said the convicted men, now between the ages of 19 and 23, dragged the girl into a bush at the park, where four of them raped her, two more sexually abused her, and then three more also sexually abused her. “Traces of semen from all of them were found on the victim,” Voice of Europe <a href="https://www.voiceofeurope.com/germany-8-of-9-migrants-convicted-of-ganging-raping-15-year-old-avoid-jail-time/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, adding, “Witnesses reported two videos documenting the crimes, which were deleted immediately after the crime. Neither the police nor the court could therefore use the recordings as evidence.”
BILD reported that the defendants showed no remorse during the trial, and their attorneys contended they were affected by testosterone.
“This was a mammoth circumstantial trial in which it was not clear for a long time what had happened on the night of September 19th to 20th, 2020,” <a href="https://jungefreiheit.de/politik/deutschland/2023/migranten-vergewaltigen-15jaehrige-und-kommen-fast-alle-mit-bewaehrung-davon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> presiding judge Anne Meier-Göring.
Horrifying events <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rape-free-zone-germany-have-safe-zone-women-after-ryan-saavedra" target="_blank" rel="noopener">occurred in Germany</a> during 2015 New Year’s Eve Celebrations, in which over a thousand women were sexually assaulted by migrants.
Initially, there was silence from German authorities about the events that transpired in 2015 before reports started to surface that a few hundred women were assaulted. However, several months later, documents were leaked that showed authorities believed approximately 2,000 men, many of whom were newly-arrived migrants from the Middle East and North Africa, sexually assaulted more than 1,200 women during the celebrations in several German cities, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/07/10/leaked-document-says-2000-men-allegedly-assaulted-1200-german-women-on-new-years-eve" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a> reported.
The <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42502984" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BBC</a> reported that hundreds of women were “attacked by gangs of men with migrant backgrounds,” which came after well over one million refugees descended upon Germany in 2015 from the Middle East and North Africa.

The German city of Tangerhütte has announced plans to rename a day care center after migrant parents reportedly expressed concerns that the current name does not accurately reflect the diversity of the community.
The day care center is currently named after Anne Frank, a Jewish girl whose diary was published after she died at the age of 15 in a Nazi concentration camp — and according to local reports, migrant parents have complained that it is &#8220;challenging&#8221; to explain to their children who Frank was and why her story mattered.

According to a <a href="https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-771852#771852" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The Jerusalem Post, the daycare center&#8217;s director explained that &#8220;parents with migrant backgrounds feel uncertain about the name and find it challenging to explain to their children.&#8221;
An open society advocacy group, Miteinander eV, argued that there were certainly age-appropriate ways to discuss Frank&#8217;s story with younger children — and objected to the change, They said in a statement that especially as anti-semitism is on the rise in many areas, &#8220;renaming the daycare center sends the wrong signal.&#8221;
The city&#8217;s mayor, Andreas Brohm, has said the name change will go forward in spite of any concerns, noting that Anne Frank did not fit the parents&#8217; push to embrace a &#8220;new focus on diversity.&#8221;
&#8220;Ultimately, the parents and employees wanted a name that was more &#8216;child-friendly&#8217; and &#8216;better suited to their concept.&#8217; Their needs are more important than the global political situation,&#8221; the BILD newspaper reported.

This is appalling. A German daycare center named after Anne Frank is changing its name.
German media reports that parents want the center to push a message more focused on “international diversity.”
Hear that? They are promoting diversity by erasing Jews.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/germany" target="_blank" rel="noopener">German</a> police officers decked out in heavy tactical gear executed a raid on an apartment building in Duisburg to arrest a man they allege was planning an Islamic terrorist attack on a Jewish event, according to multiple German publications and local police.
German newspaper Bild reported that authorities arrested 29-year-old Tarik S. (full last name not given) after a foreign intelligence service tipped off German officials about the plot, according to a translation of the <a href="https://www.bild.de/news/inland/news-inland/sek-ueberwaeltigt-ihn-zu-hause-islamist-wollte-mit-lkw-in-pro-israel-demo-rasen-85858384.bild.html">report</a>. The suspect was reportedly already known as being high-risk after fighting for ISIS in the past and writing in the past that he wanted to die as a martyr.
Intelligence sources told the newspaper that the suspect was planning to ram a truck into a pro-Israel rally in North Rhine-Westphalia to kill as many people as possible.
Spiegel <a href="https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/nordrhein-westfalen-polizei-nimmt-terrorverdaechtigen-aus-duisburg-fest-a-93e407d7-cae4-4e55-bfc3-ab77a92e1d97" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the suspect had &#8220;easy access&#8221; to a truck, had searched online for pro-Israel events and &#8220;jihadist&#8221; content. The suspect has reportedly been under the watch of Germany&#8217;s security services for a long time due to his previous terrorism and warnings from foreign intelligence services.
An intelligence report suggested that the Islamic terrorist attack in Israel two weeks ago fueled the suspect&#8217;s desire to execute his terroristic plot.
The suspect allegedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alleged-isis-member-kills-2-in-brussels-belgium-raises-terror-alert-level-to-extremely-serious" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised</a> the ISIS terrorist who went on a shooting spree in Brussels last week and was &#8220;inspired by his actions.&#8221;
The translated report said that the suspect &#8220;comes from the jihadist scene in Herford,&#8221; Germany, and traveled to Syria in 2013 where he reportedly &#8220;joined ISIS.&#8221;
The report said his terrorist name was &#8220;Osama Al Almani,&#8221; Osama, the German. He allegedly posed next to a beheaded victim, and when he was to Germany in 2016, he was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/isis-fighter-germany-arrested-suspect-2016-3">arrested</a> and <a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/german-court-sentences-23-year-old-to-five-years-for-isis-membership-486353">sentenced</a> to five years in prison for being part of a terrorist group.

Jewish-owned houses are being marked with the Star of David by anti-Semites in Berlin in images <a href="https://mjhnyc.org/blog/jewish-badges-during-the-holocaust-the-othering-of-jews-across-nazi-europe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reminiscent</a> of 1930s Nazi Germany, according to multiple reports. 
German outlet Tagesspiegel <a href="https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/berliner-staatsschutz-ermittelt-unbekannte-spruhen-davidstern-auf-eingangstur-10619689.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> Friday that Berlin Police confirmed it was aware of an incident where a Star of David was painted on a Jewish woman&#8217;s door. German State Security is investigating the marks on suspicion of incitement and hatred. The Jewish resident whose house was graffitied said she called the police, but authorities told her to report it online. 
“They advised me to remove the Star of David because leaving it at the door could cause further reactions,” the woman said. She explained that she has a mezuzah on her doorframe, which is a piece of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah in Hebrew. The Jewish woman said she is now afraid to go to synagogue and to be seen in public wearing her necklace that has a Star of David pendant. 
“And I won’t speak Hebrew on the street today,” she added. 
Three more incidents involving the apparent intimidation of Jewish residents were reported on Saturday.
“It is now the subject of our investigation to find out whether the other houses have a Jewish resident and whether the incidents are connected,” the police said, <a href="https://archive.ph/vcKPd#selection-2963.126-2963.271">according</a> to The Telegraph.
Posts on social media showed multiple other doors in Berlin being marked with the Star of David.

The reports of anti-Semitism out of Berlin come as anti-Israel protestors gather in cities across the world to voice their support for Palestinians after Hamas brutally attacked Israel, slaughtering over 1,300 Israelis.
A large group of demonstrators hit New York City streets on Thursday to condemn Israel. Anti-Israel rallies were held at Brooklyn College, Hunter College, and Columbia University, where a Jewish student <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dont-feel-safe-jewish-columbia-student-says-he-was-attacked-by-pro-palestinian-activist">told The Daily Wire</a> he was attacked on campus by a pro-Palestinian activist who was tearing down fliers raising awareness about Israelis who have been taken hostage by Hamas.
Hamas terrorists invaded Israel last Saturday, slaughtering Israeli families. Over the course of the week, the scale of Hamas’ atrocities against the Israelis has become more evident. During their attack, the terrorists targeted the most vulnerable, including raping and killing young women and slaughtering children and infants.

Allowing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/immigration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mass amounts</a> of people into a country who do not follow the country&#8217;s fundamental values is a “grave mistake,” according to former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
The century-old former top diplomat sat for an interview with Germany’s Welt TV and discussed Germany’s current problems with social cohesion and institutional integrity after high numbers of immigrants and refugees have been allowed into the country. Reflecting on anti-Israel protests going on in Germany, Kissinger suggested that mass immigration was causing severe friction in German society.
“It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different [cultures and religions] and concepts, because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that,” Kissinger said, according to <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/henry-kissinger-germany-let-in-way-too-many-foreigners/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">POLITICO Europe</a>.
Kissinger, a Jew who fled Germany with his family in 1938, said that protesters marching through Berlin’s streets in support of Hamas’ Saturday terrorist attack on Israel is a “painful” sight.
Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist group that controls the Gaza Strip, launched an unprecedented attack on Israel on Saturday. Terrorists targeted civilians regardless of age or gender, killing over 1,300 Israelis, wounding thousands more, and taking an untold number captive, including small children.
Israel’s response, which has so far consisted of ridding Israel of Hamas terrorists and targeted strikes against Hamas military targets in Gaza, has prompted protests in support of Hamas and Palestinians in Gaza in major cities across the West. In the United States, numerous cities and college campuses have seen pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests.
New York City’s Democratic mayor, Eric Adams, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/americas-largest-cities-ramp-up-security-as-anti-israel-rallies-hit-streets-after-former-hamas-chief-called-for-day-of-jihad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that he was “deeply disturbed by the message of hate urging violence in our communities.”
Police departments across the country were put on alert after former Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal called for Muslims to rise up in support of Hamas’ invasion of Israel on Friday. The former Hamas leader called to protest in support of the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” what Hamas has called its Saturday invasion of Israel.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
“We declare next Friday, ‘The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood,’ as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world,” Meshaal said in a statement sent to Reuters. “It is a day to rally support, offer aid, and participate actively. It is a day to expose the crimes of the occupation, isolate it, and foil all its aggressive schemes. It is a day to demonstrate our love for Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa. It is a day for sacrifice, heroism, and dedication, and to earn the honour of defending the first Qibla of Muslims, the third holiest mosque, and the ascension of the trusted Messenger.”
The Biden administration has struck a pro-Israel message and moved two aircraft carriers and numerous aircraft into positions close to Israel. The moves come despite a vocal minority in the Democratic Party that have expressed support for Palestinians and suggested that Israel is to blame for Hamas’ terrorism.
“The failure to recognize the violent reality of living under siege, occupation, and apartheid makes no one safer. No person, no child anywhere should have to suffer or live in fear of violence. We cannot ignore the humanity in each other,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), the daughter of Palestinian immigrant parents, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/starbucks-union-backed-by-prominent-dems-claims-solidarity-with-palestine-after-hamas-terror-attack" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement earlier this week. “As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue.”
Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-shapiro-takes-on-hamas-sympathizers-with-history-lesson-this-has-nothing-to-do-with-settlements" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debunked</a> the accusations against Israel during an interview with Megyn Kelly on her show Tuesday.
“Israel unilaterally pulled out of the Gaza Strip in an attempt to create some sort of security arrangement, presumably protect the Jews at the northern tip of the Gaza Strip, and allow the Palestinians some chance at electing a government,” Shapiro said, referring to the pullout in 2005. “They then promptly elected Hamas, a State Department-designated terror group in an election that was fully legitimate as attested to by [former U.S. President] Jimmy Carter.”
“So the attempt to tie this to settlements is insane,” Shapiro said, “because again, there are no settlements inside the Gaza Strip. The areas that were attacked [in Israel] have been part of the state of Israel since 1948. This is not post-1967 settlements in the West Bank — in the so-called West Bank; Judea and Samaria.”
