Baden-Württemberg: Shamir dismayed by anti-Semitism on demos – homepage

Anti-Semitism Commissioner Michael Blume reports an increase in anti-Semitic incidents at the demonstrations. Again and again it comes to “self-equating with the Holocaust”, for example by wearing “unvaccinated” Stars of David, he told the dpa. There are anti-Semitic conspiracy myths about the media, science and politics. ZDF has already been described as “Zionist disinformation television”. “People who believe in conspiracies are often caught up in anti-Semitism,” said Blume. Stars of David are now seen regularly. This is a double mockery – the victims of the Holocaust are being mockered and today’s democracy is being mockered because politicians are equated with the Nazis. Blume said that wearing the stars was punishable in this context. Courts would have to decide that.

Consul General Shamir said she was also generally very concerned about the risk of violent attacks on the Jewish community in Germany. She is happy about the government’s efforts to protect the Jewish community. But there is still work to be done – she spoke of creating more awareness in the fight against anti-Semitism in the population and doing something about the incitement on social media.

“Many could not have imagined this particularly disgusting form of hatred and hatred in the form of anti-Semitism. They thought that was the past. We were wrong. Anti-Semitism was never gone,” said Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU). . “We will only be satisfied when children of the Jewish faith can go to school with a yarmulke on their head without their grandparents having to worry.”
