Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser rightly condemned the weekend's anti-Semitic outbursts.
But it seems pretty helpless to the point of naive when she says that there is no place for anti-Semitism in Germany.
Because you have to say: yes, there is obviously one.
Only on Friday there was a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Berlin-Neukölln, in which stones were thrown and officials were injured.
The police spoke of “extremely emotional participants”.
That sounded almost sympathetic.
Then again on Saturday: Demonstrators chanted “Drecksjuden” and didn't even bother to dress their anti-Semitism in the cloak of criticism of Israel, as is often the case.
Now it is determined because of hate speech and anti-Semitic hostilities.
It has become a sad routine, and unfortunately so has the political outrage that followed.
How does all this have to feel for Jewish fellow citizens?
Especially for those who have now fled from Ukraine to Germany before Russia's war of aggression?
It is an honor that even people who went through hell in German concentration camps accept the protection offered here.
The state owes it to you, but also to all other democratically minded fellow citizens, non-Muslims and Muslims, to make Germany a place where anti-Semitism really has no place.
