Tourist from Israel beaten in Berlin-Kreuzberg because he spoke Hebrew

In Berlin-Kreuzberg, a tourist from Israel was attacked by three unknown people on Saturday evening, supposedly because he spoke Hebrew. The incident occurred around 10:15 p.m. on the sidewalk of Hedemannstrasse. The 19-year-old was on foot with his 18-year-old companion and was on the phone in Hebrew.

Suddenly a car with four men stopped next to the couple. Three of the occupants got out and addressed tourists in German. Since the tourist does not speak German, he could not understand her request. Suddenly he was hit to the ground without warning. The three men continued their attack by clinging and entering the tourists lying on the ground. Finally they fled by car. According to the police, the attackers were between 20 and 23 years old.

The attacked tourist later went into a hospital emergency room with minor injuries on the arm and face and called the police. His companion remained unharmed. The police investigate due to the serious assault and check whether the attack has an anti -Semitic background.

Incidents like this throw a terrifying light on security in the capital and raise questions about respect and tolerance that should prevail in society. The attack due to the language of the tourist gives cause for concern and emphasizes the importance of acting against any form of discrimination and violence.

It is important that the investigation of the state protection leads to a quick result and the perpetrators are held accountable. In view of the growing anti -Semitism in Germany, it is crucial that such acts are not tolerated and that the Jews in Germany can feel safe.

society as a whole must get up and stand up against any form of hatred and discrimination. Berlin and Germany as a whole should be a place where people of all nationalities and cultures can feel safe. It is important that such incidents not only remain isolated, but that measures are taken to prevent such acts and reduce prejudices.

It remains to be hoped that the incident in Kreuzberg is impotently impending a broader discussion about the values ​​and security in society and that measures are taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
