The German Ambassador to the Palestinian Authority, Oliver Owcza, faced harassment and violence while visiting the West Bank on Tuesday.
Owcza faced the harassment and violence from students of Birzeit University, which lies close to where the meeting was scheduled.
“The incident unfolded as Owcza arrived at the Palestine Museum, situated within the university campus,” according to i24 News.
“Videos circulating online captured the chaotic scene, showing students shouting and jeering at the diplomat, demanding his departure. As the situation escalated, the ambassador’s car was targeted, with students throwing objects and damaging the vehicle,” i24 reported.
The German ambassador decided to visit Ramallah to meet all the peaceful Palestinian people.
Bad move. Very bad move.
He was almost lynched. His car was damaged by stones and the mob tried to make sure it was his last visit to Ramallah, or to anywhere, for that matter.

Before Owcza even arrived, Palestinian students reportedly used Facebook to call for a protest against his presence because of Germany’s support for Israel in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Other diplomats who were present were also harassed.
“One diplomat present told Reuters they were in a meeting when a crowd appeared outside telling them to leave and, after attempts at dialog were unsuccessful, the diplomats left,” i24 News notes.
Amr Kayed, a Birzeit University student, proudly said that they forced all the diplomats to leave to send the message that “anyone complicit in genocide and the offensive on Gaza” isn’t welcome.
Owcza for his part later downplayed the incident on social media.
Look:
Peaceful protest & dialogue always has its place. We regret that today’s meeting of EU Heads of Missions at the National Museum in Birzeit was unduly interrupted by protestors.
Nevertheless, we remain committed to constructively work with our Palestinian partners!— Oliver Owcza (@GermanRepRama) April 30, 2024
Interestingly, despite his downplaying the Palestinians’ bad behavior and making excuses for them, pro-Palestinian social media users still attacked him anyway for being “complicit in genocide.”
Look:
You’re also not welcome in any part of West Asia.
We also don’t take lectures on dialogue from modern day Nazis. You may start with how you’re treating Palestinians and Palestine supporters in your land, Oliver.— Ekhlas (@Ekhlas_As) April 30, 2024
You gotta be kidding me, your government are throwing Palestinans and supporters in jail for voicing opinion against genocide. You closed down multiple institutions and accused Jews of antisemitism for standing with Palestine.

Your country is the second weapon exporter to Israel while only exporting empty words to palastinians.
You are not neither neutral or fair. You have been watching Israel annexing palastinian lands since ages without interfering or sanctioning it.— Khaled Elhadidy (@Khaled_elhadidy) May 1, 2024
Ur tweet is a reflection of typical hypocracy of German foreign policy
Typical of the soft evil talk of German authorities when addressing others. You want to have a dialogue while u r harming and killing others. DISGRACE!— Mohamed (@rakaiba) April 30, 2024
You’re actively complicit in the holocaust of Gaza in the face of all those telling you to stop all you have to offer is “dialogue”?
Shut your Nazistani mouth you scumbag genocide merchant, demonic Zyklon B wholesaler.

Nice people, huh?
All this comes amid reports that the Biden administration is mulling importing Palestinian refugees into the U.S. Many critics oppose this move precisely because of the Palestinians’ extremism.
Case in point: A poll conducted by Arab World for Research in the wake of the Oct. 7th terror attack on Israel found that a large majority of Palestinians viewed America negatively, viewed Hamas positively, and supported the terror attack.
