Melech 9,900 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 On the 80th anniversary of the Nazi Kristallnacht attack on Germany's Jews, French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe has revealed a 69% increase in anti-Semitic incidents this year. "We are a very far cry from ridding ourselves of anti-Semitism," he said, calling on France not to remain indifferent to a "relentless" rise. The 1938 night of broken glass produced an orgy of violence against Jews. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she lacked the words to describe it. In a speech in Berlin's Rykestrasse synagogue, she said the pogrom night of 9 November led to the Holocaust, and yet anti-Semitism still flourished in public and online. "We have sadly almost become accustomed to the fact that every synagogue, Jewish school, kindergarten, restaurant and cemetery needs to be either guarded by police or given special protection," she said. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46150677 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that this is true. The same problem is now coming to existence in the US. he/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic 11,922 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I just don't ever see/hear antisemitism in my day to day life. Like I can't remember the last time so it's so foreign to hear about this. Racism? Yes but antisemitism? No. It must be bad in Germany because it seems a common talking point The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
