Germany’s chancellor expresses outrage after two molotov cocktails hurled at building

 

 

Germany’s chancellor has vowed to step up the fight against antisemitism after assailants hurled two molotov cocktails at a Jewish synagogue in central Berlin.

Speaking in Egypt on Wednesday, Olaf Scholz said he was “outraged” by what police called a suspected “serious attempted arson” that took place in the early hours of Wednesday in the Mitte district of the city.

 

“Two unidentified people came on foot and threw two burning bottles filled with liquid in the direction of the synagogue on Brunnenstrasse,” police said in a statement. “The bottles landed on the pavement and broke, extinguishing the fire.”

 

There were no reported injuries and the building, which belongs to the Kahal Adass Jisroel community, was not harmed. As the masked assailants fled the scene, security forces outside the building – which also serves as a daycare and a school – noticed “a small fire” on the sidewalk and were able to put it out, police added.

Scholz described the tensions that have gripped his country in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war as “inhumane, abhorrent and intolerable”.

Forcefully condemning the attack on the synagogue, he said further protection would be provided for Jewish institutions. “I want to expressly say that I am outraged,” Scholz told reporters during a trip to Egypt. “It outrages me personally what some are shouting and doing.”

He later took to social media to stress that “antisemitism has no place in Germany” as well as thank security forces for their work. “Attacks against Jewish institutions, violent riots on our streets – this is inhumane, abhorrent and intolerable,” he added.

Good luck with that. It appears that the world's oldest hatred is going nowhere. Especially when left wing politicians are stoking the flames (excuse the pun) at every opportunity.

In the name of diversity Europe has managed to import conflicts from the middle east onto it's own streets. Well they made their bed, now they must lie in it. 

Germany to Jeremy in one post, oh  lefties and diversity all in one short post.

 

Corbyn’s views are not related to the attack in Germany.

 

But you know that.
