Berlin Police Probe Hamas-Linked Flyers Threatening Neukölln Bar’s Operators

The case has triggered a state security investigation with continuous police protection at the venue.

Overview

  • Flyers posted near the Bajszel bar displayed photos and names of the three operators with red inverted triangles and declared, "We want these three to be silent forever."
  • The posters included the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," which Berlin prosecutors consider potentially criminal in this context.
  • Berlin’s LKA unit EG Nahost opened an investigation after the operators reported the threats to police.
  • Police are guarding the bar around the clock, and a large show of solidarity filled the venue after the flyers were discovered.
  • The bar has been targeted repeatedly since 2023, including a reported arson attempt in September 2024, and the Deutsch-Israelische Gesellschaft called for swift, decisive action.
