Noted German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld slammed German Chancellor Angela Merkel on French television saying she had invited the “worst enemies” of the Jewish people to Germany during the migrant crisis.
Germany has seen anti-Semitism soar, so as politically incorrect and “Islamophobic” as Lagerfeld’s statement will be regarded, a similar concern was enunciated by the president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany: Josef Schuster blamed Germany for the “unfettered immigration from Muslim countries as being key contributors to the plight felt by the nation’s Jewish community.”
A few incidents that have happened in Germany:
- A Jewish teen’s parents had to remove him from a leading school in Berlin because of reported beatings and abuse from Muslim classmates.
- A German boy was kicked and beaten by Muslim schoolmates after telling them he was Jewish.
- A Jewish man was attacked, beaten and robbed by two Muslim men in open view at a train station and called anti-Semitic names.
- A Muslim soldier in the Germany military rejected of Israel’s right to exist and openly proclaimed support for the terrorist organization Hamas. He was dismissed by the military.
Josef Shuster also called for “Islamic associations and schools to do more to counter this kind of prejudice….The whole of society needs to take the problem of Muslim anti-Semitism very seriously, while at the same time avoiding casting suspicion on all Muslims.”
While not all Muslims ascribe to the literal understanding of Islamic doctrine and texts, far too many do. It is a ubiquitous global problem, with state funding backing religiously sanctioned human rights abuses. Islamic anti-semitism is ingrained in Islamic doctrine.
“Fashion Mogul Karl Lagerfeld Slams Merkel for Inviting ‘Worst Enemies’ of Jews to Germany”, Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, November 14, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Noted German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld slammed German Chancellor Angela Merkel on French television saying she had invited the “worst enemies” of the Jewish people to Germany during the migrant crisis.
Mr. Lagerfeld, who serves as head creative director of the fashion house Chanel and of Italian designer Fendi, made the remarks on television which led to hundreds of viewers making complaints.
Evoking guilt of the Holocaust as the impetus for Merkel to invite unlimited numbers of asylum seekers into Germany during the migrant crisis, Lagerfeld said: “One cannot – even if there are decades between them – kill millions of Jews and then bring millions of their worst enemies in their place,” Kronen Zeitung reports.
Lagerfeld then relayed a story he had been told by a friend: “I know someone in Germany who took a young Syrian and after four days he said, ‘The greatest thing Germany invented was the Holocaust’.”
“Merkel had already millions and millions (of immigrants) who are well integrated and who work and all is well … she had no need to take another million to construct an image of herself as a stepmother after the Greek crisis,” he added.
Since the height of the migrant crisis in 2015, there have been a number of high profile anti-Semitic incidents in Germany, particularly in Berlin.
Earlier this year, a 14-year-old Jewish student was forced to leave his school after Muslim children bullied him both verbally and physically. Josef Schuster, president of Central Council of Jews in Germany called the incident, “a shattering event”.
In an interview with German magazine Bild, Schuster said: “In some districts in major cities, I’d advise people not to identify themselves as Jews.”
“Experience has shown that openly wearing a kippa or a necklace with the Star of David is enough to attract verbal or physical threats,” he added.
In July, a report conducted by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) of 21 Berlin schools showed that not only was anti-Semitism on the rise but the phrase “you Jew!” had become a common insult on school playgrounds….
