Yes Germany has a lot of advantages for people coming from many places. Particulary attractive to college students.

I think it's great that Jews whether Israelis or from the diaspora want to move to Germany. That reflects highly on modern Germany considering the history of course.

If I was a young American Jew, Germany would be on my list as a better option than maga fascist dystopian USA, though there are some dark neo-Nazi political clouds in Germany so maybe not. Also for me German is a super difficult language and I find the sound of it unpleasant though that's a matter of tastes. I also don't like Portugal because European Portuguese sounds like Russian (I would prefer actual Russian).

While of course never being even able to be anti-semitic as a modern German -- protecting the State of Israel is the well-accpeted raison d'etre for Germany -- one might present the obervation, that lately, Israel has acted in many instances as you would have expected from germans in the past.

Separating communities by walls, starving them for their religion, bombing whole city quarters and razing them to the ground after the inhabitants were declared worthless, mass murder of civilians (women and children included, heck, make this the majority of those extinguished), putting people in ever-shifting separate camps (with the expressed wish they were "somewhere else", or not even there at all), dreaming publicly of taking those people wealth and build great resort cities where they lived. etc, etc.

This could, easily, be misunderstood as some form of immoral behaviour by Israel, if one would not be accepting enough of the god-given right of earth's chosen children to seek out their "Lebensraum" (a concept that seems weirdly familiar and as if I heard it before, I just cannot put, for the life of me, my finger on it where I ever encountered such a ideological justification in the past).

And, of course, I do not think that Israel stands alone with this apparent (but surely just misunderstood) barbarism.

This would never have been possible without the "benevolent" hands of the USA teaching them by example and leading them on in this years-long campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Yet another one that finds sport in falsely conflating modern Israel with Nazi Germany.
Well you had your rant and you're welcome to it.

There are many horrible things that the Israeli government has done over the years. They're not Nazis but they're still horrible.

Not every horrible thing needs to be called Nazi.

I call Trump a fascist and I believe he is, but he is not Hitler.

Maybe for different reasons than the Tik Tok brainwashed "River to the Sea" (a pro genocide chant) usually young bozos in the west that know almost nothing about the history and complexity of the conflict.

I have suspicion that like many other issues, antisemitism is being used by those who wish to ferment division in western societies.

To clarify that, I’m not referring to those who complain, warn or otherwise highlight the rise of antisemitism; rather the very same people/organizations/state actors that use social media to ferment racism, Islamophobia, hatred of immigrants, distrust in vaccines, COVID conspiracies and any other number of emotive issues that might be used to sow division.

Agreed.

But once again that is not a deflection from the real antisemitism that exists, nor an excuse for those who engage in antisemitism/antisemitic attacks in response to these online campaigns.

I think you understand the point if you look at it from the perspective of history.

It does not mean I do not see the whole picture. It means I see the calculation behind the action and the predictable outcome it was designed to create.

Hamas did not only attack Israel. They also knowingly sacrificed innocent Palestinian lives by provoking a response they could use politically. That is how terrorism works: it turns civilians into tools, grief into propaganda, and whole populations into targets of blame.

The current global Jewish population is approximately 16.5 million, which accounts for about 0.2% of the world's total population.

As of 2020, there are approximately 7.5 million Jews of all ages in the United States, according to a Pew Research Center survey. However, a more recent study from 2025 estimates the number of Jews who identify with Judaism as a religion to be around 5.7 million, so around 2 %.

0,2 % in the world or 2 % in the US , yet we are confronted/bombarded with their

culture/religion nearly everywhere. YUK.

Every other movie or TV serie has some jewish in it.

In places of power/government/banks , the number of jews are far more than

other minorities.

Jews/zionists/israel should keep its place and voice at 0,2 %.

How many Nobel Prizes have been awarded to a Kazakh, Yoruba or Uyghur?

I get that you're a hater that's your right but I never said that Jews are a race so why should I try to "prove" what I don't assert?

Your use of the bastardized word kasanazi is proof that you yourself are a racist Jew hater though.

That was already obvious but now you've gone full on with that.

Jew hatred has become fashionable especially among young people

It's about as fashionable as calling all critics of Israel's genocidal policies, "antisemitic," especially among a sub-segment of AN members such as the OP.

Are you a native English speaker.Yet again I never called Jews a race. Perhaps you are simply ignorant and don't know that racism occurs towards ethnic groups as well.

Jews are an ethnoreligious group.

Ethno indicating ethnicity.

Conclusion

Racism against an ethnicity is a significant social issue that reflects broader societal beliefs about race and ethnicity. It is essential to recognize and address these prejudices to promote equality and understanding among diverse groups.

I would say Trump is only the side effect of a long-awaited uproar from the right wing.

The left pushed things too far with its own stupidity, arrogance, and lack of common sense, and now the whole world is dealing with the backlash, with Trump sitting in the seat.

Nobody wins from this. The left created part of the reaction, the right turned that reaction into something even worse, and now everyone has to live with the result.
