(Jerusalem Post) Berlin Police Chief Barbara Slowik has issued a warning to Jews and LGBTQ+ individuals to exercise caution in certain areas of the German capital amid rising antisemitism and hate crimes. Speaking to the press, Slowik emphasized the need for vigilance in the wake of recent events, particularly following the attack by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023.
“There are no so-called no-go areas, meaning areas that are too dangerous to enter,” Slowik stated, as reported by Die Zeit. “However, there are areas, and we must be honest at this stage, where I would advise people who wear a kippah or are openly homosexual or lesbians to be more attentive,” she added, emphasizing the importance of caution in public spaces.
