German Police Take Down Lawfully Displayed Israeli Flag Because Hamas Supporters Might Riot

10,000 people were demonstrating their support for Hamas, the Islamic terrorist group in Duisburg, Germany. Two pro-Israeli apartment dwellers near the demonstrations hung an Israeli flag in their window. Police then entered that apartment to take the Israeli flag down.

Here's the video and photographic evidence, courtesy of Jewish Odysseus (HT: Ace):

The statement of the police was to de-escalate the situation, because many youth demonstrators were on the brink of breaking into our apartment house.

Instead of doing what it could to stop protesters from breaking the law, it chose to break the law and infringe on the rights of individuals to support Israel by flying a flag in their own home.

Keep in mind that Germany has anti-Nazi laws and more stringent speech codes than here in the US. Yet, the police chose to break into an apartment to take down a flag while ignoring people dressed up in full Hamas garb and waving Hizbullah and Hamas flags, despite the fact that both groups are terrorist groups that seek nothing less than the genocide of Israel.

It's absolutely dispicable that the German police would take down the flag, all while ignoring the calls for genocide and the destruction of Israel which are part and parcel of the anti-Israel demonstrations around the world that have cropped up as a result of Israel defending itself from the incessant terror attacks by Hamas, the Islamic terrorist group whose raison d'etre is the destruction of Israel.

From the Hamas Charter:

The day that enemies usurp part of Muslim land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Muslim. In face of the Jews' usurpation of Palestine, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised. To do this requires the diffusion of Islamic consciousness among the masses, both on the regional, Arab and Islamic levels. It is necessary to instill the spirit of Jihad in the heart of the nation so that they would confront the enemies and join the ranks of the fighters.

This isn't the spiritual jihad or enlightenment, but a call to arms to destroy Israel by brute force and any means necessary. Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose goals are to establish an Islamic regime around the world, starting in areas that were previously under Islamic control - a region that spans from India and South Asia to Portugal and into Southern and Eastern Europe.

Israel is the focal point of the jihad, but it isn't alone. We repeatedly hear references to Andalusia (Spain) in al Qaeda's video and audio propaganda tapes, and Islamists the world over are taught to carry out jihad to spread the word of Islam by any means necessary, including the usurpation of existing laws to further their own goals.
