German Police Raid Alleged Antisemitic Group in Frankfurt

Authorities searched homes of nine members of Palästina e.V., citing links to antisemitic propaganda and support for extremist organizations.

Over 70 police officers conducted raids in Frankfurt and Darmstadt targeting Palästina e.V., a group accused of spreading antisemitic rhetoric.
The Hessian Interior Ministry suspects the group of violating constitutional principles and promoting anti-Israel propaganda since its founding in 2022.
The organization has been linked to statements supporting Hamas following the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which it described as 'resistance' rather than terrorism.
Hessian Interior Minister Roman Poseck emphasized the importance of combating antisemitism, calling the group's ideology 'inhumane and antisemitic.'
The investigation, initiated in mid-2023, aims to determine whether the group should be banned under Germany's association laws.
