Other Western countries should also be holding Hamas-associated groups accountable, and proceeding accordingly in the interests of national security. Lack of knowledge about Hamas’ ambitions is no longer an excuse. Hamas’ true nature was exposed on October 7. Hamas has a mission of conquest by whatever means, and is an obvious threat to Western interests.
“Hundreds of German police raid properties of Hamas supporters in Berlin and across the country,” by Kirsten Grieshaber, Associated Press, November 23, 2023:
BERLIN (AP) — Hundreds of police officers searched the properties of Hamas members and followers in Germany on Thursday morning following a formal ban on any activity by or in support of the militant group.
The German government implemented the ban on Nov. 2 and dissolved Samidoun, a group that was behind a celebration in Berlin of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
Germany’s domestic intelligence service estimates that Hamas has around 450 members in the country. Their activities range from expressions of sympathy and propaganda activities to financing and fundraising activities to strengthen the organization abroad.
“We are continuing our consistent action against radical Islamists,” German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said. “By banning Hamas and Samidoun in Germany, we have sent a clear signal that we will not tolerate any glorification or support of Hamas’ barbaric terror against Israel.”….

Take the gloves off in all western countries and target the entirety of the Islamic cult. Remember, it is not a religion it is a murderous cabal.

You would think, but would apparently be wrong, that Germany particularly, in light of its 1933-1945 “experience,” would be very alert for signs of hatred of Jews. But, starting with its Gastarbeiter idea, drawing from Turkey’s Muslim population to Frau Merkel’s 2015 “Hey, lets let all these Muslims in” insanity, Germany is complicit in perpetuating Jew hatred.
