German Jews warned not to wear kippas after rise in anti-Semitism

 

The German government's anti-Semitism commissioner has urged Jews to avoid wearing skullcaps in public.

 

Felix Klein warned Jews against donning the kippa in parts of the country following a rise in anti-Semitism.

 

He said his opinion on the matter had "changed compared with what it used to be". Israel's President Reuven Rivlin said the recommendation amounted to "an admittance that, again, Jews are not safe on German soil".

quote from the BBC article "Physical attacks against Jews in Germany also rose in the same period, with 62 violent incidents recorded, up from 37 in 2017."

 

 That is a 67% increase in physical attacks against Jews in just 1 year. Absolutely shocking. What on earth has been happening in Germany for this culture of violence and hatred to be flourishing like this??

Death throes of the majority Caucasian population as it becomes a minority. Not limited to Europe. Same demographics taking place around the globe as the Asian, Latin American and African population is increasing and the national Caucasian population is shrinking.

Actually, it's a little scary and/or sad that such a governmental position is even deemed necessary, especially from a country that has otherwise produced great art (e.g., Goethe) and many other things of much cultural and also scientific value and so on.  I wish them all the best in controlling and, God be willing, maybe someday even solving this unfortunate problem.  

 

By the way, as we all know, bigotry reveals its ugliness elsewhere in many other places.  So, on the other hand, this also reveals Germany's determination to make their part of the world a better place.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet that most of the attackers were Caucasian.

 

Ya just don't see that many ethnic skinheads.

I may be wrong. 

 

But every recent documentary I've seen on anti-Semitic violence has been at the hands of white skinheads and Neo-Nazis.  They're not too amenable to recruiting Muslims.

Nothing has changed over the last 2000 years where jews were persecuted, demonised, slaughtered, waged war upon them by mighty armies, over and over, exiled from their homeland numerous times just because they are Jews, and now in the US and other countries there's a resurrections of anti jewish sentiments, can anyone say why? no, not really, when the world need to hate someone, there are always the jews for it...

Incorrect.

 

Jewish groups have warned that a rise in popularity of far-right groups is fostering anti-Semitism and hatred of other minorities throughout Europe.

If you are genuinely seeking an answer to your question then the language of AfD and other right wing groups is a good place to start.

 

I’m not going to repeat or link to the filth views these groups have expressed and broadcast, you can look it up for yourself.

Why don't women wear kippahs and why don't men wear hijabs or burkas? .....these ridiculous religious practices are just that -ridiculous .  If you "identify" with mythological separatist "beliefs" and "faiths",  you are living in your own fantasy

Jews in Iran have lived peacefully together, just saw it on youtube.  Not even a security guard at the syn agog

Thought this was a Monty Python fish slapping sketch........

[candide]

Some time ago they forced them to wear yellow stars, and now they advise them not to wear kippas.....

 

Sad event in both case, only a difference in level.

[Emdog]

In USA, FBI stats show 58% of hate crimes done against Jews, which are 1.8% of population. 18% against Muslims, 1.4% of population. 80% of hate crimes fell within race, ethnicity, ancestry or religious bias.

Rather than Jews not wearing skullcaps, how about responding like Danes did during Nazi occupation? Everyone wear one.

"If you "identify" with mythological separatist "beliefs" and "faiths",  you are living in your own fantasy" I'm an atheist. "Living in your own fantasy" should be okay as long as don't force that fantasy on others IMO. What's next? Attacks on cosplayers? 

[Morch]

And there goes the routine - one group of posters alleges it's all about extreme right, the other contingent says it's all about Muslims. News flash - cherry-picking aside, not mutually exclusive.

Not a single attack by a long shot, a single report linked. Plenty of others. Could be asked which of the main groups cited by posters contributes more to the tally, but that's not quite the same what the post above was about, is it?

The media has a socialist, globalist, multicultural agenda, what they portray often isn't the truth.

But I agree you may be right, it's hard to pick out what's really happening in the world these days.

 

From Morch's link

"A study among Jews, that was published by the European Union in 2018, has also listed muslims as the biggest perpetrator group of antisemitic incidents in Germany; 41% of attacks were committed by extremist muslims, 20% by far right and 16% by far left extremists, according to the study."

 

Also interesting to read in Germany all attacks on Jews by unidentified assailants is automatically classed as 'far right'.

This can't be right surely? Muslims only make up around 5% of the German population, which makes them vastly over-represented if this tiny group is responsible for a huge 41% of attacks. If the statistic above is correct then there is a huge problem with muslim hate crime in Germany. This would need tackling urgently not swept under the rug and ignored. Harping on about some alleged "far right" is missing the point completely. Perhaps intentionally?

As a counterpoint there is the link below which firmly places the rise of anti Semitic incidents on the far right.

 

Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said around 90% of the 1,800 recorded incidents were perpetrated by supporters of far-right groups. The main offences included hate speech, anti-Semitic graffiti and displaying banned signs like the swastika.

As a counterpoint to the expected counterpoint, may want to read up on how the affiliation of perpetrators is determined and how undecided/unclear cases are labeled. There's plenty of data tossed about regarding percentages and attributing blame, enough to fit almost any narrative. Kinda doubt that politics aren't part of how things parceled. Pretty much as these things go on TVF topics.

I'm aware, but the link I provided is quite recent. Just maybe I'm being naive, but would think that the critique of stats coming out of Germany would have been addressed by the Interior Minister by way of using empirical data
