Luiz 4,253 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Reuters) - Germany's foreign minister said at an international conference on anti-semitism on Thursday that "hatred of Jews" was on the rise once more in his country and across Europe, fueled by spiraling violence in the Middle East. Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Germany's Jews were subjected to threats and attacks at pro-Palestinian demonstrations, and the conflict between Israel in Gaza must not be used as justification for an anti-semitic behavior.As well as slogans like "Gas the Jews!" during some marches, in July at the height of the 50-day Gaza war petrol bombs were thrown at a synagogue in Wuppertal which had been burnt down on Kristallnacht - a Nazi attack on the Jews in 1938 - and rebuilt. "Bold and brutal anti-semitism has shown its ugly face again," Steinmeier told an Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) event. Among the speakers was Karen Polak, from Amsterdam's Anne Frank House, who told delegates there had been "lots of outspoken violence against Jews who obviously have no responsibility for the policies of the state of Israel". Frank, a Jewish girl who died in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945, wrote a posthumously published diary while in hiding that has helped teach post-war generations about the Holocaust - the murder of six million Jews during World War Two. "You see it time and time again - when tension in the Middle East rises, anti-semitic incidents in Europe rise," said Polak. With far-right parties making strong gains in May's European Parliament elections, the OSCE said all communities and faiths needed to be on the alert. According to an EU survey, one in four Jews living in the bloc report having suffered an anti-semitic incident. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/13/us-europe-racism-antisemitism-idUSKCN0IX1KT20141113?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.
