Kippa "flashmob" in Germany against Antisemitism Sep 03, 2012
A nice demonstration against a horrific Antisemitic incident that took place in Germany the other day: A rabbi was brutally attacked by four "Arab" Antisemites and his daughter verbally threatened. The attack, in addition to previous Antisemitic attacks in Berlin, prompted warnings for Berlin's Jewish community to avoid dress identifying themselves as Jews.

Today, Germans staged a "flashmob" protesting the latest violent Judeophobia by donning yarmulkes at once in public:

More than a hundred demonstrators protested against anti-Semitism in Charlottenburg. Most participants wore a yarmulke - the traditional Jewish head covering. The reason was the attack on a Berlin rabbi last Wednesday in the Schöneberg district of Berlin.

After the attack on a Berlin rabbi over a hundred people in Charlottenburg staged a spontaneous demonstration protesting against anti-Semitism. In the so-called flash mob participants moved silently from the Fasanenstraße to KaDeWe department store on the Kurfürstendamm. A majority of the protesters wore it the traditional Jewish head covering.

Police said they were notified of the event shortly beforehand. "But everything remained peaceful," said a spokesman. On Facebook, the organizers had called for the action. "We do not want people on our streets are attacked because they identify themselves as visibly Jewish," they wrote on their website.

Last Wednesday, the rabbi was in the Schöneberg district of Berlin surrounded by several young people, beaten and insulted.
