Neukölln district integration commissioner Güner Balci warned about the rise of anti-Semitic attitudes and demonstrations within the city’s Arab community.
Jewish citizens in the Neukölln district of Berlin need to hide their faith in the wake of the Israel-Gaza war, a city official advised during an interview.. Speaking with the German news site Der Spiegel, integration commissioner Güner Balci reported on efforts to crackdown on pro-Palestinian demonstrations following violent anti-Israel citizens attacking the police and celebrating the deaths of Israelis over last weekend.
Balci recommended preventative actions, though she noted these projects require more funding. She added that she has faced backlash for these efforts and was labeled a racist. 'Ultimately, though, I decided that I wasn’t prepared to let myself be intimidated. We cannot remain silent,' she said. Israel declared war on Hamas after the latter fired several rockets and invaded the Israel-Gaza border on October 7. At least 1,300 Israelis and 29 Americans have been confirmed dead. Meanwhile, several cities around Europe and the U.S. have held pro-Palestinian protests and demonstrations in favor of the attacks.
