Overview

• Posters in Berlin depict journalist Nicholas Potter under a red Hamas triangle, calling for his blood and elimination, escalating a campaign of intimidation.
• The Hamas triangle, used to mark 'enemies,' has been linked to anti-Israel and antisemitic contexts since October 2023, including recent protests in Berlin.
• The threats follow months of harassment after Potter’s reporting on antisemitism and criticism of the BDS movement, making him a target for militant pro-Palestinian activists.
• The taz editorial board has condemned the threats as an attack on press freedom and pledged full support and protection for Potter.
• PEN Berlin has urged security authorities and pro-Palestinian groups to denounce the violence and ensure the safety of journalists like Potter.
