The number of anti-Semitic incidents in Germany has increased significantly since the massacre by the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023. Jews are insulted, defamed, berated and attacked not only on the street, but also at universities and in the cultural sector. The anti-Semitic riots at the Free University of Berlin on December 14, 2023 and the completely inconsistent reactions to them from those responsible and politicians are representative of this. Jewish students in Germany have to fear for their lives again. Left-wing groups demand solidarity with Palestine, question Israel's right to exist, but completely ignore the Hamas massacres and, in their view of the Jews, rely on a simple worldview shaped by ancient prejudices and narratives.
