Israeli woman says she was attacked in Berlin while wearing Israeli-Palestinian coexistence badge

An Israeli woman tells Channel 12 she was attacked by a gang in Berlin on New Year’s Eve, one of whom shouted that “Israel should be erased.”

The woman named only as Soli tells the outlet that she was wearing a coexistence badge depicting the Israeli and Palestinian flags in the shape of a heart. The badges were distributed by the Israeli-Palestinian Kanaan restaurant in the German capital.

Soli, a resident of Berlin, says she was followed by the three men and a young woman when she got off a train and that she took a photo of them after one of them shouted the anti-Israel slogan.

She says the woman then pulled her hair and when she fell to the ground, the men attacked her.

“I walked away and the young Arab woman came, told me to give her the phone, and said something else in Arabic that I didn’t understand,” Soli tells Channel 12. “She pulled my hair. I pulled back and she kicked me. I fell. The other three came and kicked me in the head.”

The outlet does not say if a complaint was filed with police.
