Glad things aren't getting too extreme. 😬
"A property belonging to the #antisemitismcommissioner for the #German state of #Brandenburg was targeted in a suspected #arson attack on Sunday.
#AndreasBüttner, the state’s commissioner of combatting #antisemitism, wrote in a post on X that his family was home at the time of the attack, which targeted a shed on his property in #Templin, a small town in Brandenburg. He said that no one was injured during the attack.
“This attack represents a massive escalation,” wrote Büttner. “It is directed against me personally, against my family, and against my home. At the same time, it is an expression of hatred and intimidation. I will not be intimidated by this.”
An inverted #redtriangle, a symbol #Hamas uses to mark its targets in #propaganda videos, was also spray-painted on the front door of a house adjacent to the shed."
