Anti-Israel protests in the southern German town of Langenau have recently escalated into physical violence against congregants, after a local pastor publicly condemned the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led invasion of and massacre across southern Israel.

In the German town near the city of Ulm, anti-Israel agitators gather every weekend outside St. Martin’s Church, targeting local pastor Ralf Sedlak and his congregation, accusing them of ignoring the suffering of Palestinians in the Gaza conflict.

Last weekend, the activists once again protested outside the church, leaving behind bloodied baby dolls, severed limbs, antisemitic caricatures on signs, and a blood-stained teddy bear at the church’s entrance, according to German media reports.

They also hung a banner depicting a caricature of a Jew wearing a gas mask, supposedly “bathing in the blood of Palestinian victims” — with Germany and the United States shown as supporting the scene.

Stay Awake. Keep Watch.
