| Berlin Judge Expresses | |
| 2025-07-31 | |
Acar had already become publicly known in March 2022. At that time, she took care of war refugees from the Ukraine at the Berlin bus station, gave interviews. After the Hamas attack on Israel, her social media account changed: Acar defends the Islamists, is becoming more and more radicalized, and recently calls Germany a "fascist state". Since then, she has hardly been absent from a hate demonstration against Israel in Berlin, taking part in university occupations. THE CHARGE From 17. February to 24. July 2024 Acar is said to have publicly chanted "From the river to the sea, palestine will be free" several times. The Hetz-Parole is considered a hallmark of one of the parties or associations designated in § 86 (2) StGB: the terrorist organization Hamas, which is banned by the Ministry of the Interior. In addition, defamation, resistance, attack on police officers, attempted bodily injury (a shield throw). Applause from 20 supporters in the hall (100 noises in the street). The judge reads police statements (15 volumes of files). She hands over X-rays. They are supposed to prove their injuries by the Berlin police: "These are my ribs!" JUDGE ON THE VERDICT: "RESPECT FOR HOW YOU STAND UP" 120 daily rates of 15 euros each, i.e. 1800 euros penalty for resistance to and attack on police officers, slander, attempted bodily injury - but acquittal for the Hamas slogans! Judge Philipp Berkholz: "Most of them are not there at the demonstrations to support Hamas - I therefore do not consider this punishable." Then the judge reveals: "Respect for how you are committed. They probably speak from the soul of some people. You stand by what you have done. In the future, try not to offer an attack surface.” B.Z. confronted the court with the statements. A spokeswoman confirmed that Judge Acar had expressed his respect and referred to the "context". Berkholz meant Acar's commitment to the people in Gaza, with the criminal acts she had destroyed her image. | |

| #3 "For the most part, you aren't there at the demonstrations to support Hamas – so I don't consider it a criminal offense." |

| #2 IIRC I submitted a link to this article in German, not a translated version. Here's a translation of the key part of the article which was mangled by this (os or browser integrated?) machine translator: Then the judge reveals: "I have great respect for your dedication. You're probably speaking for quite a few people. You stand by what you've done. In the future, try not to give others ammunition against you." |

| #1 Judge Philipp Berkholz: "Most of them are not there at the demonstrations to support Hamas - I therefore do not consider this punishable." "If you put a shtreimel on a pig, would it make him a rabbi?" |
