Berlin Police Chief Describes “No-Go Zones” Where Jews and Gays Shouldn’t Go
"No-Go Zones: The Myth That Just Won't Quit"
In the previous decade, there was a lot of debate about the existence of no-go zones, areas in European cities under the control of Muslim forces where the law did not apply. The authorities officially denied that such places existed, as did the media, even though they were widely described.
Here’s the Berlin police chief finally saying it out loud.
Berlin Police Chief Barbara Slowik has issued a warning to Jews and LGBTQ+ individuals to exercise caution in certain areas of the German capital amid rising antisemitism and hate crimes. Speaking to the press, Slowik emphasized the need for vigilance in the wake of recent events, particularly following the attack by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023.
“There are no so-called no-go areas, meaning areas that are too dangerous to enter,” Slowik stated, as reported by Die Zeit. “However, there are areas, and we must be honest at this stage, where I would advise people who wear a kippah or are openly homosexual or lesbians to be more attentive,” she added, emphasizing the importance of caution in public spaces.
Highlighting the tensions in certain neighborhoods, Slowik explained, “Unfortunately, there are certain neighborhoods where predominantly Arab-descended people live, who also have sympathies for terrorist groups,” and where “open anti-Semitism is articulated there against people of Jewish faith and origin,” according to Der Standard – Archäologie. She stressed that her intention was not to stigmatize any community, stating, “I do not want to ‘defame’ any particular group of people as perpetrators,” as reported by Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Refugees welcome. Everyone else unwelcome.
For the first time since the fall of Nazi Germany, Jews are once again not safe in Berlin. Not to mention gays.
None of this is news to anybody, but it’s the sort of thing that is fashionable to deny by the same sorts of people who claim that rising crime is also imaginary and that there would be no Islamic terrorism if it weren’t for cartoons.
The media and lefty activists still claim that “no-go zones” are an Islamophobic conspiracy theory.

The conspiracy theory seems to be so alive and well that the Berlin police chief has to warn gays and Jews not to go into these places… which don’t exist.

Berlin is NOT safe for 'openly gay' or Jewish people, Berlin police chief admits
Some areas of Berlin are not safe for 'openly gay' and Jewish people, a local police chief has admitted.
Barbara Slowik, head of the police force in the German capital, said: 'There are areas, and we need to be honest here, where I would advise people who wear a kippah or are openly gay or lesbian to be more careful.'
'Unfortunately, there are certain neighborhoods where the majority of people live are of Arab descent, who also have sympathies for terrorist groups,' she told local outlet Berliner Zeitung.
She added that 'open anti-Semitism' was shown against 'people of Jewish faith and origin' in those neighbourhoods.
Slowik said that Berlin police have initiated about 1,300 investigations about violent incidents since October 7, 2023.
The police chief's comments come a week after a Jewish youth football team had to be put under police protection after it was attacked by a pro-Palestinian mob armed with sticks and knives in Berlin.

Players from Makkabi Berlin's youth team have said they were 'hunted down' by Arab youths after a game against their local rivals. The team is made up of teenagers aged between 13 and 16.
The game was played in Neukoelln, a neighbourhood in Berlin known for its large Arab and Turkish population.
A father of one of the players wrote on X that his son was deeply shaken when he was spat at during the game and was harassed by adults and children who followed the team off the pitch.
He also posted a screenshot by one of the players, who said that they were chased by 'Arab youths' who shouted 'Free Palestine' and 'F***ing Jews' and threatened the players with knives and sticks.
The president of Makkabi Germany, Alon Meyer, told the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper that other witnesses have voiced threats, with some chasing others with knives.
The police unit responsible for investigating politically motivated crime, the Staatsschutz, has begun an investigation into the incident.
Makkabi Berlin was set up in the 1970s by Holocaust survivors and was the German capital's first Jewish sports club after the Second World War.
Earlier this month, a fan of Makkabi Berlin wearing the club's scarf - which has the club's logo including the Star of David on it - was taken to hospital after a man in a café asked him whether he was Jewish and punched him in the face.
