A group tracking antisemitism in Germany said Tuesday that it documented a drastic increase of antisemitic incidents in the country in the month after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7.
The RIAS group said it recorded 994 incidents, which is an average of 29 incidents per day and an increase of 320% compared to the same time period in 2022. The group looked at the time period from Oct. 7 to Nov. 9.
Among the 994 antisemitic incidents, there were three cases of extreme violence, 29 attacks, targeted damage to 72 properties, 32 threats, four mass mailings and 854 cases of offensive behavior.
Many Jews in Germany experienced antisemitic incidents in their everyday lives and even those who weren’t exposed to any antisemitic incidents reported feelings of insecurity and fear, said RIAS, which is an abbreviation in German for the Department for Research and Information on Antisemitism.
Considering how well the temporary ceasefire is going, extending that to permanent would be a great first step. Then maybe begin real negotiations on how to move forward without Israel continuing to control the region and deciding who deserves to live and where. Sure dealing with terrorism is complicated but realizing that you’re increasing the recruitment rates with every bombing is pretty basic.
That was already attempted, it failed. The current ceasefire was also broken by both sides (and Hezbollah that wanted to fuck around).
Wow I’m convinced now, Palestinians must be genocided. Thanks for helping me see the light!
everything u said was already tried and failed.
Let’s try it again because it’s the right thing to do.
What is supposed to be done about the rockets shot at Israel and about the terrorist attacks?
Admonish and forgive. If you require a proportional response to every action you’ll inevitably exist in a state of perpetual war.
No, I don’t mean those in the past. But those happening right now.
That’s the thing about hatred and forgiveness, at some point it was always highly personal. Reparations certainly need to be made but Palestine has been starved of money and doesn’t have much to give. Isreal will have to forgive some of these most recent ills if the country is going to move forward peacefully.
Adjusted for inflation Palestine had been given 71 billion USD in international aid over the years, so saying “Palestine has been starved of money” is not an understatement but a blatant lie.
If you’d say Palestinian people starved of money I’d probably agree: as their corrupt leaders stole most of those funds, and used the rest to fund and enable terror activities as well as children indoctrination in hatred
