Berlin – The leader of Germany’s Jewish community says he is shocked by an “explosion of evil and violent hatred of Jews” shown by protesters at pro-Gaza demonstrations across the country.

The president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Dieter Graumann, said Monday that “we would have never in our lives have expected that anti-Semitic slogans of the worst and most primitive kind could be chanted on Germany’s streets.”
Since the outbreak of violence in Israel and Gaza, there have been demonstrations both for and against Israel in Germany. During some of those protests, pro-Gaza protesters have chanted “gas the Jews” and other anti-Semitic slogans.
At a pro-Gaza protest in Berlin last week, an Israeli tourist was verbally attacked and had to be protected by police.
he is “shocked by anti semitism ” He really must be stupid ! These same Moslems gave Mosul’s Christians THREE HOURS to leave the country on Saturday or convert with heavy tax 33,000 Christians THREE HOURS!!
What did he expect in the same Nazi Germany they always were and always
will be. Kerry himself was caught yesterday off the record while microphone .
criticizing Israel fighting back ??? Yemach Shemom
When will all these so-called leaders & their communities wake up? GERMANY CIRCA 1938. You are all delusional & I’m sick of every day, another apologist & “shocked” official crawls out of his cave.
Jews in Europe are facing another Nazi take-over & this time, you only have yourselves to blame. For the record, I have family in Europe – close family – and there is nothing I can do or say to get their heads out of the sand. All I can do is promise them a place to live here when they have to escape.
Yes, Welcome to the new Islamitization of Europe!
Although the government of Germany is officially opposed to anti-Semitism, and has been very supportive of Israel, it doesn’t mean that the average German (excluding their muslim population) is that sympathetic towards Jews. There have been attacks in recent months against Yidden in Berlin, which contains the largest Jewish population in Germany. Unfortunately, some of the old stereotypes and attitudes against Yidden, from seventy years ago still exist, in certain segments of the German population. Hence, we should not be surprised at some of the signs at these demonstrations.
