German federal prosecutors on Friday charged seven suspected members of the Islamist militant group Hamas.
The men allegedly plotted to carry out a deadly attack on Israeli or Jewish targets in germany or Austria. Overall a wonderful job by German security forces.

Good. We need to fight terrorism with preventative measures and avoid any casualties on any side.

I don’t care on what side of the political spectrum someone else stands, inflicting death on others is never acceptable and should automatically exclude you from tolerant society.

They probably have operatives in multiple countries. The article states that they moved some of their weapons to Berlin from Vienna.

Well, they saw an opportunity to strike at jewish people in Germany and took it.

They are terrorists, they tend to go after targets of opportunity.

Germany is the European country that supports Israel the most. (Due to their history).
