Twitter thread on EU Antisemitic incidents

From The Telegraph:

Uwe Dizuballa was locking up Schalom, his Israeli restaurant in the German city of Chemnitz, when a group of men yelled “You pig, Jew” and threw stones that smashed his windows:

The front line of anti-Semitism has taken a sinister turn in recent times. Attacks have risen 13pc worldwide, but the worst have come in democracies like Germany and the UK:

Jewish shopowners like Dizuballa encountered anti-Semitic harassment from the start. But the latest attacks have carried echoes of Kristallnacht, the 1938 pogrom during which the Nazis destroyed Jewish shops:

“Anti-Semitism has always been there in society. What has changed is that it has become acceptable to practise it in the open again.”

@justinhuggler reports from Germany for the second in our three-part series on the issue:

The Telegraph is taking a deep dive into how Jewish communities are responding to hatred and anti-Semitic abuse across the Continent. Read @pmdfoster’s first report in the series from Budapest:

  2. Not a lot of mentions for the Islamic source of hate that my Jewish friends recognise.
    NeoNazis are there as well but far fewer than muslims.

  3. Are the authors so anti-European thatt they characterize all non-Jewish Germans with the same anti-Jewish brush? The Telegraph seems to have no clue about the underlying Nazi party final solution and implementation if it compares an act of anti-Jewish vandals to kristallnacht. Is the German gov’t now penalizing and criminalizing the Jewish victims? Is it possible that the vandals share a notion of the “final solution” with their compatriots and just who is the target?

    Why not address all anti-Christian and anti-Jewish and even anti-athiest and anti-Muslim personal acts as one? That might reveal the Islamic Mein Kampf….
    Germany has acknowledged the Nazi crimes against its own populace and those of its former conquest, while continung to be engaged in restitution payments. Which other country has done as much? Imagine if Turkey had attempted to sensitize its own populatiion with memorials to the piles of Armenian bones left in the Syrian desert or even considered restoring property.

    That Telegraph snippet speaks more to the willful blindness of those who.produced it, begging the question of where the antisemiism comes from. I’ll wager it’s not from its readers.
