Germany charges four Muslim migrants
with storing weapons for Hamas in Europe
Why did they need weapons in Europe? “To keep them ready for possible attacks against Jewish institutions in Europe.” More of that sort of thing is coming to Europe, as well as North America.
Germany Charges Four Over Hamas Weapons Depots In Europe
November 25, 2024:
German federal prosecutors said Monday they had charged four suspected members of Hamas, allegedly tasked with sourcing and storing weapons for the Palestinian militant group in Europe.
Two men born in Lebanon, an Egyptian citizen and a Dutch man were suspected of “membership in a foreign terrorist organisation”, the federal prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
The men “held important positions within the association with direct ties to leaders of the military wing” of Hamas, prosecutors said.
One of the two suspects born in Lebanon, named by prosecutors only as Ibrahim El-R., was said to have set up a weapons storage site for Hamas in Bulgaria.
Established in early 2019, the Bulgarian depot contained weapons, including a Kalashnikov assault rifle and ammunition, prosecutors said.
In mid-2019, Ibrahim El-R. had “cleared out” another weapons cache in Denmark and was said by prosecutors to have brought a pistol from there to Germany.
Between June and December 2023, all four suspects were said to have set off from Berlin in search of another Hamas weapons store in Poland but failed to locate it, according to investigators.
Prosecutors said Hamas had long ago “set up underground weapons depots in various European countries in order to keep them ready for possible attacks against Jewish institutions in Europe”.
The storage sites were maintained by foreign operatives in possession or (of) European residence permits, ready to be “deployed at short notice”, prosecutors said….
Alternate attack sites in Germany
In connection with the preparations for the terror attack on Oct. 7, 2023, the [Hamas] organization showed interest in making the deposited weapons available again,” the charges read. The terror group was said to have considered attacks on the Israeli embassy in Berlin, the German capital’s Tempelhof Airport and the United States’ Ramstein Air Base.

The Dutch Government’s Program to Create a
‘Netherlands Without Antisemitism’
Long before the Muslim mobs attacked Jews on the streets of Amsterdam on November 10, the Dutch government had been preparing a “national strategy” to combat antisemitism at every level of government and society, and to ensure the safety, and sense of belonging, of Dutch Jews. It is the most comprehensive plan that any country has yet adopted to deal with the worrisome rise in antisemitism, and its details deserve to be widely known. More on this effort to achieve a “Netherlands without antisemitism” can be found here:
Dutch government creates new national strategy for combatting antisemitism
by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, November
In the pursuit of a “Netherlands without antisemitism,” the Dutch government has unveiled a new national strategy for combating antisemitism, to last from 2024 to 2030. Among other things, the strategy involves the release of an additional 4.5 million euros for tackling antisemitism from 2025, and the establishment of a “Taskforce for Combating Antisemitism.”
The new strategy is to take a multi-year approach, and the cabinet will review its efficacy and take extra measures on a yearly basis. It is to be coordinated by the Justice and Security Ministry, and the National Coordinator for Combating Antisemitism is to play a central role in advising the cabinet, as well as ensuring implementation of policy.
With the current strategy, the government makes it clear that the fight against antisemitism concerns all Dutch people,” the Cabinet said. “We all have a responsibility, as a society, to combat antisemitism and the insecurity of Jews. The Netherlands stands for an open, reasonable, and tolerant society. Jewish life is a very explicit part of that.”
According to the statement, the Dutch Jewish community, which numbers about 50,000 (about 0.3% of the total population), “lives in great insecurity” and “without freedom.”
The new taskforce, led by the Justice and Security Ministry, will be established immediately and last for at least a year. It will have a particular focus on antisemitism within university settings, and will take on tasks such as the banning of antisemitic speakers at colleges.
The Cabinet added that the taskforce will consist of representatives from a range of ministries, including mayors, the education sector, the sports sector, the cultural sector, the public transport sector, and other social parties. Representatives of the Jewish community will also form part of the taskforce…. What about the justice sector?
This is an extremely thorough and well-thought out program that other Western countries would do well to emulate. Antisemitism will never be eliminated, but the spread of the virus can be contained, its carriers punished, and the young provided with the education needed to be immunized against it, including required study of the Holocaust by new immigrants, while the victims of antisemitism are given the moral and financial support they deserve.
A great ambition! But Islam will provide lots of pushback.
