Yeah, not gonna happen.
A Jewish network lobbied the German government to include a 10-point plan aimed at combating anti-Semitism among Middle Eastern migrants. In the programme migrants are encouraged to deal directly with the issues they may have with Jews and the Jewish religion so they better understand that anti-Semitic attitudes are not welcome in Germany or Europe.
The network says issues discussed in the programme will include the special relationship of Germany and Israel, as well as the Holocaust, reports Die Zeit.
The programme sheds light on the latest figures regarding the rising tide of anti-Semitic violence in Germany. The network remarks that there must not be tolerance toward such attitudes and beliefs, and that it is required that police intervene immediately against organisations — like terrorist groups Hamas and ISIS — that promote the hatred of Jews.
According to Anetta Kahane, the chairperson of the Amadeu Antonio Foundation, Jews in Germany are becoming more fearful and insecure, with many afraid to confess their religious identity in public for fears of threats and violence. The migrant crisis has only strengthened the rise in hatred toward Jews with the Director of the Ramer Institute, Deidre Berger, saying that “the continuing influx of refugees from countries where anti-antisemitism and the hatred of Israel is widely used – or even part of the state ideology,” is an increasing fear for German Jews.
