    Berlin – German police say a 50-year-old Israeli professor was set upon by a German man with Palestinian roots who hit the victim’s kippa off his head and shoved him while yelling, “No Jew in Germany.”

    Police in the city of Bonn said the assault happened in a park on Wednesday afternoon. A police statement says the professor’s companion reported it, but the officers who arrived knocked the professor to the ground and hit him in the face, initially mistaking the victim for the perpetrator.

    Bonn Police Chief Ursula Brohl-Sowa met with the professor on Thursday to apologize for the officers’ mistake.

    Police say a male suspect was identified and temporarily detained. They said he was a 20-year-old already known to police.

    Concern has been rising about a resurgence of open anti-Semitism in Germany.

    The police could not tell the difference between a 20-year-old and a 50-year-old?

    There are over 100,000 Jews living in Germany, including many Israelis. It was a pleasant place to live, (I’m talking about the Germany of the 1980’s until recently), until Ms. Angela Merkel let over 1,000,000 Muslims emigrate to Germany. Now, the streets are not safe, not only for Jews, but also for Germans, and other “infidels”.
