Anti-Semitic Crime Rises in Germany, and Far Right Is Blamed

Anti-Semitic crime and hate crime targeting foreigners each increased by almost 20 percent in Germany last year, according to official figures published on Tuesday.

The data includes a wide range of offenses, including assault, insults, graffiti, hateful postings online and the use of Nazi symbols. The figures are part of an annual report on politically motivated crime presented by Germany’s interior minister and the head of its Federal Criminal Police Office.

Politically motivated crime in general continued to fall after a peak in 2016, and the number of violent offenses was down. The crimes that are still rising, however, paint a disturbing picture of Germany’s resurgent far right, which the report found to be responsible for around 90 percent of the anti-Semitic offenses.

When right-wing protesters marched in the eastern city of Chemnitz last summer, for instance, many of the slogans — and much of the far-right violence and intimidation that followed — were directed against immigrants, particularly Muslim refugees from the Middle East. But they were not the only targets.

During the march, Uwe Dziuballa, the 54-year-old Chemnitz-born owner of the city’s only kosher restaurant, stood unarmed in front of its door as a group of around 10 masked men hurled bottles, stones and a metal bar.

“What makes me angry about that night is that it has made me worry,” Mr. Dziuballa recalled in a recent interview. “I used to never worry about going out with this,” he said, pointing to his skullcap.

The official report found that crimes nationwide against those perceived as foreigners increased to 7,701 last year from 6,434 in 2017, and anti-Semitic crimes to 1,799 from 1,504.

“Especially in our country, we have to stand against this with all our means,” Interior Minister Horst Seehofer told reporters at a news conference introducing the report. “It’s very important to me that we bring the scale of this into people’s consciousness.”

The most cited offense, making up 39 percent of cases presented on Tuesday, is the use of illegal symbols and logos, such as the swastika. It accounted for 62 percent of all politically motivated crimes attributed to the far right.
“Nobody should close their eyes to this further increase in anti-Semitism,” said Josef Schuster, the head of Germany’s Central Council of Jews, in a statement. “The citizens of this country, but above all the political leaders, must not accept that Jews are again exposed to a threat 74 years after the Shoah,” he said, using the Hebrew word for the Holocaust.

Germany’s Jewish community has grown in recent decades, with 200,000 Jews estimated to have moved to the country since the fall of the Soviet Union. About 100,000 people now regularly attend Jewish services, according to the Central Council of Jews.

A report released by the European Commission last year found that two thirds of German respondents think anti-Semitism is a problem in their country. Much of the recent reporting in Germany about the issue, however, has focused on anti-Semitism expressed by migrants.

Last year in Berlin a group of activists, including Mayor Michael Müller, organized a gathering under the banner “Berlin wears kipa” after a 19-year-old Syrian refugee attacked a man for wearing a skullcap.

Heiko Maas, Germany’s foreign minister, expressed a hope on Tuesday that the new data would shift perceptions on the question.
“Anti-Semitism is not imported,” he said in a speech. “We Germans in particular must remain mindful of that.”

Mr. Dziuballa, the restaurant owner in Chemnitz, said that the growth in numbers might indicate a renewed willingness to take criminal complaints to the police.
Other parts of the crime report were more encouraging, with a pronounced decrease in the number of attacks on asylum centers.

The number of politically motivated internet postings that break German law has also decreased since 2017, by 35 percent.

Somebody needs to be.
Right wingers/nationalists/white nationalists are all rising on a bed of fear/hatred of immigrants.
Just like the right wingers on this board, like you, try to couch your language but really, like the daily Islamaphobic posts from zailbetter and conil, you push this narrative that 'immigrants' are really the problems with society, not the corruption of a plutocracy. That's leading to increases in racism, specifically ant-Semitism and Islamaphobia.

Hey Frankie, if I said that brown muslims are the cause of almost all Islamic terrorism around the world, would you consider that a racist statement??

Simple question, please answer with just yes or no

Are you stating that you think all Muslims are 'brown'?
Or that you think only darker skinned Muslims are terrorists?

I asked you to answer my question with a simple yes or no, and you still can't do it.

Try answering my question this time please. Yes or no??

Your inclusion of the word 'brown' makes it racist, where you associate a skin colour with terrorism.
So yes, you successfully created yet another racist statement.
Par for the course.

We also know how the far-right have the most violent ones in Germany:

Germany says half of extreme right 'prone to violence';

Some 12,700 Germans are inclined towards violence, of an estimated 24,000 far-right extremists, according to interior ministry figures.
Authorities had already warned of a growing threat of violence from the extreme right, including an "affinity for weapons", the ministry said.
Hundreds of flag-waving extremists caused alarm this week when they marched through an eastern town.
Germany's main Jewish organisation said the march should not have been allowed.
The marchers carried a banner that read "social justice instead of criminal foreigners". They carried flares and banged drums through the centre of Plauen, a town in Saxony whose synagogue was burnt down by the Nazis in November 1938.
The Saxony march took place on Wednesday, on the eve of Jewish remembrance of the Holocaust. Leaders of the left-wing Linke party in Saxony said they were appalled that "uniformed Nazis were allowed to march with torches and drums".
'Risk of radicalisation'
Germany has seen a rise in support for the far right, with the Alternative for Germany party now the largest opposition party in the Bundestag.
But other, more extreme groups have emerged, with more than half of their members prone to violence according to the interior ministry, which provided figures in response to a request from the liberal FDP party.

Hundreds of websites and social media channels, including messaging services and video platforms, were being screened by the authorities for far-right propaganda, the ministry said.
It said the extreme right "creates platforms on which the scene is active and exchanges its propaganda and seeks to spread it".
FDP spokesman Konstantin Kuhle told the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung that new ideas and better skills were needed to combat radicalisation on the internet.
The eastern state of Saxony in particular has been fertile ground for the far right. Germany's Central Council of Jews said that if the state government was serious about tackling the extreme right it would ban such marches.

Then you've just incriminated yourself. This was your exact quote:

You didnt say nationalists, you said white nationalists. That makes you a racist then, because nationalists can come in all colours.
There are whites, latinos, Asians....etc in the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_figures_in_nationalism

Check, and checkmate Frankie.
You're not smart enough see the trap I laid out for you :spit:

Anti-semitism is something the more extreme right and left agree upon and nothing will be done because both sides are too busy claiming the other party is the problem.

White nationalism is a euphemism for white supremacists.

And yes, the white supremacists you back are racist, and its not racist to say 'white supremacist'.

Sorry buddy, but you cant say this:

And then go on to use the term "white nationalism" without making it a racist statement.
These are your own words after all. You just said "its racist to associate a skin colour with terrorism".

Thanks for admitting you're a racist. This is progress for you :encouragement:

That's gotta be one of your lamest arguments yet, phil.
White nationalism is a term in common usage to define a movement of white supremacists. Its the basis of populism now.
Its a racist movement defined by the people who follow it and the others they hate.

Its not racist to call them out for racism.

White nationalists are a movement defined by skin colour, dude.
Keep thinking about this, sooner or later you might get it.

And bear in mind that when you say 'white nationalists' you are also automatically not implying all white people, but just a subset of racist, scared and angry right wingers.

Good, so when I refer to Islamic terrorism I am also not referring to all muslims, just the radical ones (and the subset of scared Libs who keep defending them).

I'm so glad we agree
