Berlin, Germany - Two men shouted anti-Semitic abuse at a Rabbi and eight students travelling with him in Berlin today and threw a lighted object at their van.
The two men, driving a Mercedes Benz, braked in front of Chabad Rabbi Yehudah Teichtal's van and then reversed back towards it while shouting anti-Semitic insults, police said in a statement.
"The 36-year-old (Rabbi) then saw the driver light up an unknown object and throw it towards his van," the police said, adding that the Rabbi could not explain what the object was.
Anti-Semitic crime has been rising in Germany, which has seen an influx of some 220,000 Jews from the former Soviet Union since 1990 after being home to just a very small Jewish community in the decades after the Holocaust.
Violent right-wing crime jumped 9 percent last year, and the Interior Ministry said last month it was up significantly again in the first half of this year.

The German government should increase the security for the Jewish people it supposedly welcomes back.
If they really feel regret for all the evil they committed, let them prove it.

I was wittness to the attack, and can tell you that the german authorities dealt with the incident swiftly and all the perpertrators were arrested within hours of the report.
While there is an undercurrent of anti semitisim, it is mostly prevalent in east berlin. Today, I dont believe there is one place that can claim immunity from sinnas eisav. I must also point out, in answer to comment five, that the only way to avenge the attrocities that where committed on klal yisrael, are the renewal and rebuilding of all that was to make clear that no-one can destroy the jewish people.

You're talking nonsense! And you're being hysterical. You are confusing hype with reality!!! It's similar to the arab mindset. They believe in their own rhetoric!!!
