After footage surfaced showing Israeli Ambassador to Austria, David Roet, calling for the "death penalty for children" involved in "Israel’s" war on Gaza, a German-Moroccan Jew who attended the meeting said counter-terror police later raided his home and seized his electronic devices.

The footage went viral online but was ignored by major outlets in Austria and Germany. Instead of investigating the ambassador’s remarks, authorities targeted him for sharing the ambassador's footage, a move he said "disturbed some Zionists in high places" and reflected "the complicity with which European countries obey and execute their orders."
