Even former Chancellor Angela Merkel warned of a resurgence of antisemitism in Germany in 2018; this resurgence was linked to her own open-door immigration policies. In an eyebrow-raising moment during an interview with Israeli TV, Merkel stated:
We now have another phenomenon, as we have refugees or people of Arab origin who bring another form of anti-Semitism into the country.
The current Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has just stated in light of rising antisemitism over the Israeli war on Hamas that “he was outraged by the antisemitic agitation spreading as the Gaza war rages, and warned at the inauguration of a new synagogue that the vow of ‘never again’ must be unbreakable.”
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators across the West, propelled by the aggressive Palestinian “resistance” (jihad) are fomenting hate and inciting violence toward Jews and Israel. Already France has banned such rallies.
Such demonstrations are stirring up not only violence against Jews, but more broadly, inciting jihad on Western soil. The Muslim Brotherhood (MB), of which Hamas is a part, and every global jihad group aspires to a global caliphate. The MB’s many offshoots operate and lobby throughout Western countries. The MB explicitly states that “Jihad is the way”:
“…Jihad for Allah is not limited to the specific region of the Islamic countries. The Muslim homeland is one and is not divided. The banner of Jihad has already been raised in some of its parts, and it shall continue to be raised, with the help of Allah, until every inch of the land of Islam will be liberated, the State of Islam will be established..
The large numbers at the Berlin rally are encouraging. We can only hope that this support continues to grow and will spread elsewhere.
“German leaders voice outrage and thousands rally in Berlin in reaction to rising antisemitism,” Associated Press, October 22, 2023:
BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s chancellor and president strongly denounced a rise in antisemitism in Germany in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war in separate appearances Sunday that stressed the same idea that it is unacceptable for such hatred to flourish in the nation that perpetrated the Holocaust.
In Berlin, thousands of people gathered at a demonstration called to show opposition to antisemitism and support for Israel. People carried Israeli flags or posters with photos of some of the people reported to be missing or held by Hamas as hostages.
The protest, organized by a broad alliance of various organizations, comes as antisemitic incidents have been rising in Germany following the violent escalation of the war in Gaza. The organizers estimated that over 20,000 people took part; police put the number at 10,000.
“It is unbearable that Jews are living in fear again today — in our country of all places,” President Frank-Walter Steinmeier told those gathered in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. “Every single attack on Jews, on Jewish institutions is a disgrace for Germany. And every single attack fills me with shame and anger.”
Earlier, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he was outraged by the antisemitic agitation spreading as the Gaza war rages, and warned at the inauguration of a new synagogue that the vow of “never again” must be unbreakable.
Assailants threw two Molotov cocktails at a synagogue in Berlin on Wednesday, and police protection has been increased for Jewish institutions. Scholz, who denounced the violence on Wednesday, expanded on his comments at the inauguration of the temple in Dessau, a city in eastern Germany whose synagogue was destroyed by the Nazis 85 years ago….

Islam’s trajectory of evil is so predictable that even Chancellor Angela Merkel (the principal architect of this cultural train wreck), could see it coming from years away.
Kesselman says
Fortunately, even the former Chancellor Merkel has seen the light. And more European politicians are coming to their senses as the Islamic threat to Western civilization now seems obvious in light of the war between Islamic terrorists and Israel.
This Islamic death cult has to be erased from the face of the earth and ought to be treated as Nazism which would be a Cain’s mark on every terrorist.
Westman says
Angela Merkel: “We now have another phenomenon, as we have refugees or people of Arab origin who bring another form of anti-Semitism into the country.”
Close, but no cigar. It’s not just believing Arabs, it’s Persians, Indonesians, Africans, etc; it lives within any race, group, or nationality that has Islam.
It’s in the Quran and Hadith – diminishment, subjugation, and a call for genocide upon the Jews.
It’s Islam that teaches hatred of Jews from a young age. “It’s Islam, stupid.” And now it’s rubbing off onto native Germans, French, Americans, etc.
The hate of Islam for Jews cannot be erased without deleting parts of Islam’s “holy” texts which Islam will not allow. Making laws to punish Judahphobia, harassment, and persecution, will not stop it as it resides in Islamic minds, waiting for its moment.
Ray Jarman says
Where in the heck has Steinmeier been these last eight to ten years where Jewish children in schools have been abused and ridiculed by Islamic thugs? Attacks on Jews throughout Europe, excluding the few nations such as Poland and Hungary, have been daily events such as throwing elderly women from balconies, knife attacks at U-Bahns and so many other sites have been so numerous and yet Steinmeier has just become aware. This is shameful.

islamism is the new nazism.
