A group tracking antisemitism in Germany said Tuesday that it documented a drastic increase of antisemitic incidents in the country in the month after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7.
The RIAS group said it recorded 994 incidents, which is an average of 29 incidents per day and an increase of 320% compared to the same time period in 2022. The group looked at the time period from Oct. 7 to Nov. 9.
Among the 994 antisemitic incidents, there were three cases of extreme violence, 29 attacks, targeted damage to 72 properties, 32 threats, four mass mailings and 854 cases of offensive behavior.
Many Jews in Germany experienced antisemitic incidents in their everyday lives and even those who weren’t exposed to any antisemitic incidents reported feelings of insecurity and fear, said RIAS, which is an abbreviation in German for the Department for Research and Information on Antisemitism.
Probably has something to do with being called antisemitic because we think zionism is poison. I’ve never been called Islamophobic for calling out Islamic extremists, why am I antisemitic for calling out Jewish extremists?
no, u didn’t “called out” Jewish extremists, u literally said every zionist is poison
Read my words again. I didn’t say anything about people I said the belief is poison. If you continue to put words into people’s mouths you’re going to continue to view the world the way you want and not the way it is.
