Some good news from the Anti-Jihad front: Some Germans are expressing anger that the police opted to forcibly remove two Israeli flags from a private apartment window and balcony after a Pro-Islamic mob threatened violence.

From Foxnews.com:

People in Duisburg, Germany, and across the world, are angry after police admitted to removing an Israeli flag that hanging in a student’s window during a pro-Palestinian protest, Spiegel Online reported.

The western German city’s police chief issued an apology for using force to storm the student’s apartment Saturday to remove the flag because 10,000 demonstrators protesting the Gaza Strip invasion in the street below were angered by it.

The protest was organized by the Islamist group Milli Görüs, which has been monitored by German intelligence agencies for potentially radical behavior.

The student who hung the flag, whom the paper did not identify in order to protect him, likened the crowd’s reaction to the Israeli symbol to that of a “lynch mob,” Speigel reported.

Video of police officers tearing down the flags has been widely circulated on YouTube.

This is the video from YouTube:

Another video shows the police literally ripping down a second Israeli flag hung from the balcony of the same apartment. Can you imagine the outrage and violence that would follow had they treated a Saudi flag with such disrespect?
