(Deutsche Welle) German police in the western city of Duisburg carried out raids on [Thursday] on four properties linked to a pro-Palestinian group over its alleged support for Hamas.
The interior ministry of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany’s most populated state where the city is located, said it had banned the group Palestine Solidarity Duisburg.

“This ban comes at the right time and sends the right signal,” NRW Interior Minister Herbert Reul said in a statement.
“In many cases, solidarity with Palestine hides nothing other than hatred of Jews — as is the case with the organization banned today,” he added.
