German site Democ., which documents anti-democratic movements, covers a protest in Berlin last week:
Around 300–400 supporters of Syrian ruler Ahmed al-Sharaa (also known as al-Jolani) gathered in front of Berlin's Red City Hall on Saturday, July 19, 2025. They chanted slogans against Israel, Druze, and Alawites—including open calls for murder and rape.During the demonstration, anti-Israel, anti-Druze, and anti-Alawite slogans were repeatedly chanted – accompanied by explicit calls for murder and sexual violence. Among other things, the term "tūbz" (Arabic for "to bend") was used as a threat against Druze – a vulgar and extremely violent expression from Syrian Arabic that calls for the sexual humiliation and murder of Druze. In local parlance, the term also describes a particularly degrading posture into which victims are forced before being executed with firearms while kneeling on the ground.
