Religious bigotry has gotten so bad that Jews are advised not to go out in religious garb; but you won't hear about this because their attackers can't be accused of being "Islamophobes" and most Berlin Antisemitic attacks are not suspected of being "right-wingers".

After an attack on a rabbi in Berlin, Gideon Joffe, the head of the Berlin Jewish community, said he would “not recommend that any Jew go around in parts of Berlin with a kipah.”

On Tuesday, Rabbi Daniel Alter of Berlin was violently attacked while picking up his daughter from a piano lesson. He currently is recovering from surgery for a broken cheekbone. The attackers, reportedly Arab youths, asked Alter – who was wearing a kipah – if he was Jewish before hitting him in the face. They then allegedly verbally threatened Alter’s 6-year-old daughter.

Many Jewish religious leaders in the country advise their congregants against openly wearing Jewish garb in public; men routinely wear baseball caps or other hats over their yarmulkes when in public. Concern about openly wearing the skullcaps grew following an anti-Semitic attack on the Chabad Jewish kindergarten in Berlin in 2007....

The multiculti dream has become a nightmare, especially for gays, jews and blonds.

German anti-semitism is being blamed on Arabs/Muslims by our resident troll? Hmm.

We at least have to be thankful that the troll and the other banned gang members are cutting pasting fewer anti-Muslim stories from their usual blog sites these days. Andy's clear up worked well.

I thought I'd just post a few links on the subject of anti-semtism - in Germany and worldwide, and then leave the trolls to themselves

First, let's see what the Muslim community in Germany has to say about the attack:

The head of the Central Council of Muslims, Aiman Mazyek, expressed his "deep dis.gust" on behalf of the community after the 53-year-old rabbi was punched repeatedly in the face in front of his six-year-old daughter.

Let's examine whether the trolls are basing their prejudice on reality (there's a first time for everything, after all). So let's see about anti-semitism in Germany - well there are certainly extremist Islamists and there are eh's fellow right wingers too:

German anti-Semitism 'deep-rooted' in society

Anti-Jewish feeling is "significantly" entrenched in German society, according to a report by experts appointed by the Bundestag (parliament).

They say the internet has played a key role in spreading Holocaust denial, far-right and extreme Islamist views, according to the DPA news agency.

They also speak of "a wider acceptance in mainstream society of day-to-day anti-Jewish tirades and actions".

The expert group was set up in 2009 to report regularly on anti-Semitism.

The findings of their report were that anti-Jewish sentiment was "based on widespread prejudice, deeply-rooted cliches and also on plain ignorance of Jews and Judaism".
..They added that the chanting of far-right slogans at football matches was a regular occurrence.

The report's authors put Germany midway in their assessment of other European countries in relation to the spread of anti-Semitism.

They see extremely high levels of anti-Jewish sentiment in parts of Poland, Hungary and Portugal.

Earlier this month, the Germans cracked down on far-right, anti-semitic (and racist groups):

And let's bear in mind that eh likes to invent statistics and hype a small number of attacks when carried out by 'Arabs' - and refuse to condemn Christian terrorists etc. So, this link is a handy guide for him iro perspective:

Anti-semitic attacks in the US (where eh/rayznack lives) is over 1000 a year, and anti-semitism is very much a 'western' problem imported into the Mid-East:

It is also interesting to note how the banned gang reacted to a racist attack where a mother was beaten up and a 4 year old was spat on :

How sad that their hatred of Muslims is so high that they can't think straight.

Trolls are so predictable.

The Antisemitic attack in the article isn't blamed on native German "right-wingers" - I suppose that's why we haven't heard this story until now.

Strange - I thought the first pogrom/mass killing of Jews in Europe was a Muslim contribution via al-Andalusia. Do you have evidence to the contrary?

Which is...?

(Changing topic by any chance? Good one, as you clearly have not done that in this thread where a rabbi was physically assaulted and his 6 year old grandchild verbally abused)

Interesting illogic you've just posted. So a story of a rabbi being attacked in Berlin and Berlin Jews advised against openly wearing Jewish clothes is "Islamophobic"? Does that line of argument mean your thread on right-wing Antisemitism in Germany is Germanophobic? Who exactly has made the connection between Antisemitic attacks in Berlin and Muslims besides you?
