webfact Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 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".

Popular Post TopDeadSenter Posted May 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2019 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?? 4 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post helpisgood Posted May 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2019 1 hour ago, webfact said: The German government's anti-Semitism commissioner 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. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ezzra Posted May 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2019 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... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 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? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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'.

Popular Post TopDeadSenter Posted May 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2019 7 minutes ago, BritManToo said: 41% of attacks were committed by extremist muslims, 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? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
