Germany encourages the anti-Semites to let their hatred run free

display

In the past few days I observed the numerous attacks on Jewish places of worship, the clamor of mostly migrant demonstrators who paid homage to Hitler, approved of the Holocaust, demanded the annihilation of Israel and spread hatred of Jews.

And a sad realization matured in me: It may be because of the will.

This state, this country, this government, this society may simply not want to eradicate anti-Semitism forever.

In Gelsenkirchen, young men with a migration background shouted “shit Jew” in front of the synagogue, and across the country the threat resounded, “You Jews! Mohammed's army is coming back soon ”. In Kreuzberg, the same milieu openly called for "attacking Tel Aviv"; Counter-demonstrators carrying Israeli flags were attacked in Dresden. In Pankow an Israeli flag was burned, in Würzburg one was torn from its mast. In Hanover, demonstrators tore up Israeli flags, and one burned in Solingen. In Halle protesters shouted “Takbir! Strike, strike in Tel Aviv! "

There are people in Germany who feel encouraged to let their hatred of Jews run free.

No wonder in a country where the Federal President is congratulating the terrorist state of Iran on the "anniversary of the revolution".

In which a candidate for Chancellor - Annalena Baerbock - speaks out publicly against supporting Israel with military technology.

In which politicians of the left show up in support of the anti-Jewish demonstrations in Neukölln.

In which the Ditib, an organization of the Turkish president who is drifting into Islamism, is still not banned. In which the SPD parliamentary group leader, Rolf Mützenich, blames the Land of Israel for anti-Semitic attacks in Germany. In which people attach a "Jewish star" to their chests because they think the government is behaving wrongly in the Corona crisis. In which the city of Hagen hangs an Israel flag that was hoisted to indicate the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Germany on May 12, 1965, because a few Jew haters wanted it that way.

A country where a sleepy public prosecutor's office allowed Attila Hildmann, the prototypical anti-Semite, to escape.

And in which no investigator now seems to be able to monitor Hildmann's still active chat groups and to catch those of his fans who break the law and are in Germany.

Terrorists played down as "activists"

A country in which the Hamas terrorists are reliably referred to as “activists” in numerous media: on n-tv, in the “Tagesschau”, on “Spiegel Online”, in the “FAZ”, in the “Tagesspiegel”, in the "Frankfurter Rundschau"...

"Spiegel Online" placed the reasonably clear statement of the German Foreign Minister ("Israel ... has the right to self-defense") without comment and without any context next to that of the Iranian, who spoke of "criminal acts" by Israel.

His country also supplies the weapons that are fired at Israel, which was missing as a small clue.

The “shitty Jews” roar in front of the Gelsenkirchen synagogue turned into an “anti-Israel demonstration” in the Hamburg media, as if it was not about anti-Semitism, but a critical examination of the only democracy in the Middle East.

Dpa also reported on Gelsenkirchen - and managed not to mention the milieus from which the hatred of Jews emanated.

The agency later added to its report that "little could still be said" about the demonstrators.

Similarly, the “Tagesschau”: “Whether they were immigrants, if so, what religious or cultural background they have, or whether right-wing extremists were involved in the act, we simply do not know.” Videos have long been public, on which umpteen and almost exclusively People with a migration background were to be seen.

Meanwhile, Deutsche Welle interviewed a pro-Palestinian activist as an expert.

A WDR employee asked on Twitter: “Dear God, kill the ole philosemites”, then his employer apologized: “a private tweet” that was “exaggerated”.

An acquittal can be that easy.

These days, two milieus in particular complement each other: people who have learned from their childhood, whether they were in Neukölln or the West Bank, that Israel is to be hated, that Jews are to be loathed and attacked.

And above all left-wing politicians and the media who negate this attitude, who downplay the problem and, too often, even secretly agree.

It is the same mostly left-wing negligence that has led to some districts in Germany being controlled by clans (all from the same, anti-Semitic milieu).

The attitude of international stars is secondary: Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai spoke out unilaterally against Israel, as did Greta Thunberg.

There are a few approaches that show that there is another way, that there could be another way. In Bonn, citizens take turns sitting in front of the synagogue to make sure that nothing happens. The CDU had its Israel flag stolen, but unimpressed it hung up a new one. And some Germans took to the streets on Saturday to show solidarity, if not with Israel, then at least with German Jews. All of this is good, correct, impressive. But I am skeptical that it is enough.
