Increased threat to Jews: Safety concept required in Germany!
Increased threat to Jews: Safety concept required in Germany!
Berlin, Deutschland - In the past few weeks, the security situation for Jews in Germany has unfortunately intensified. Felix Klein, the Federal Commissioner for Jewish Life in Germany, recently commented in the Rheinische Post . He addressed the increased tensions in the Middle East that have direct effects on the Jewish community in Germany. Klein emphasized that this is often taken into collectivizing and is held responsible for the actions of the Israeli government.
"We have the feeling that the feeling of security of many Jews is badly affected," said Klein. Particularly smaller Jewish communities in rural areas and facilities such as daycare centers urgently need additional support. The Federal Government has already decided to establish an increased security concept for Jewish and Israeli facilities.
Security concept of the Federal Government
The details of these measures have not yet been specified, but the willingness of the Federal Government is clear to proactively counteract any possible conflicts. Merz asked the countries involved to refrain from a further escalation to promote a peaceful solution.
return to bad experiences
The concern is not unfounded. Since October 7, 2023, many Jews in Germany have been experiencing a return to the traumatic experiences of 2014 when the last soil offensive of the Israeli forces took place. The current situation is shaped by the worst massacres of Jews since the Shoah and requires a high tension within the community.
As the taz reported, the anti-Semitic incidents in Germany have risen sharply. Many affected people feel a growing distrust of the police and report that their concerns are often not taken seriously. A survey by the American Jewish Committee from 2022 adds that anti -Semitism is widespread in parts of Muslim communities.
The demand for consistent combating of anti -Semitism
The situation requires clear requests for action to combat anti -Semitic prejudices. The research center of anti -Semitism registered over 200 anti -Semitic incidents between October 7 and 15, 2023, 91% of which related to Israel. This type of anti -Semitism was long looked away and tolerated in Germany, which raises clear questions about the responsibility of the state.
A general rethink is now required to smash anti -Semitic structures early and ensure that there is no room for such settings in Germany. The Jewish community has the right to security and respect in their homeland.
The Federal Government's discussions and measures are an important step, but it will be crucial how quickly and effectively they can be implemented in order to offer Jewish women and Jews in Germany.
The coming months will show whether the measures taken enable the necessary protection that Germany's Jewish community undoubtedly needed.
