Schuster warns: rhetoric threatens Jewish life in Germany!

The discussion about German Israel policy has achieved new heights in the past few days, especially according to the controversial statements by Foreign Minister Johann WadePhul (CDU). Josef Schuster, President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, criticized WadePhul's warning about "forced solidarity" with Israel as "very problematic and unhappy". This wording, according to Schuster, is reminiscent of the left -wing extremist term "German Guilt" and could promote potentially dangerous currents in discourse on Israel. Schuster warned that criticism of Israeli warfare should not lead to the normalization of Israel -related anti -Semitism, which causes uncertainty for many Jews in Germany, as Süddeutsche reported.

Furthermore, Schuster recalled that Israel's existence is threatened by Hamas and that hostages have been held in Gaza for 600 days. This situation, he emphasized, justifies the topic of the suffering of the suffering of the civilian population in Gaza, also by high -ranking politicians such as Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU).

criticism of the rhetoric of the government

Schuster also expressed concern about a shift in rhetoric, which triggered great uncertainty in many in the Jewish community. In the current political situation, the use of the term “compulsory solidarity” could lead to anti -Semitic tendencies. The Central Council of Jews has repeatedly emphasized that anti-Semitism in Germany is a serious problem that has to be actively combated, as well as the information from Central Council of the Jews

The increase in anti -Semitic incidents and statements on the net is alarming. The latest reports show that anti-Semitic letters to the Central Council have increased in recent years, often widespread by emails and social media. People who were born after 1945 are also increasingly expressing anti -Semitic views, which is very concerned about Schuster.

social effects and need for action

The current situation has an impact on the life of the Jewish citizens in Germany, which feel violated by anti -Semitic statements and are afraid of exclusion. A survey by the European fundamental right -wing agency shows that 90% of the Jews surveyed will find fear of anti -Semitism and recognize two thirds of the Germans that hostility has increased against Jews. These are also reflected in the criticism of the education system, which often does not adequately address anti -Semitic prejudices.

A call to concrete measures against hate propaganda and the responsibility of social media is followed by this. Anonymity on the Internet is seen as an important problem for the spread of hate. These considerations not only apply to online expressions, but should also influence the social climate in order to counter the challenges of anti-Semitism in Germany
