Left-wing and Muslim communities in Germany have "found common ground," creating a new, widespread form of antisemitism that merges leftist and Muslim prejudices. While politicians often claim Germany has learned from its past and that there is no place for antisemitism in the Federal Republic of Germany, reality tells a different story.

Migrant populations living or arriving in Germany are fuelling anti-Jewish sentiment. Anti-Semitism has become a pervasive phenomenon that links together the left and Muslim communities, Nius.de wrote.

Anti-Semitic incidents have risen sharply

According to the Federal Association of Departments for Research and Information on Antisemitism (RIAS), there are 24 anti-Semitic incidents every day in Germany. In Berlin, Jews are not safe:

in 2024, there were 8,627 anti-Semitic incidents recorded—an increase of nearly 80 per cent compared to the previous year.

Eight of the atrocities involved extreme violence. RIAS registered nearly 2,500 incidents in the capital alone. The Berlin senate is aware of 1,823 anti-Semitic crimes, according to a response to a parliamentary question by the AfD .

Hatred and violence against Jews are being expressed both verbally and physically. The most common forms of anti-Semitic incidents include sexual harassment and threats.

In one Berlin incident, a woman wearing a necklace with a Hebrew inscription was spat on by a group of youths who called her a „Jewish wh*re” in Arabic. In Leipzig, a woman was recording a voice message in Hebrew when several men confronted her in Arabic and threatened to rape her.

As V4NA reported in an earlier piece, official crime statistics clearly show that a significantly higher proportion of violent crimes are committed by foreign nationals — primarily Syrians, Afghans, and Moroccans — than by German citizens.

Der Antisemitismus ist zum Querschnittsphänomen geworden, das linke und muslimische Vorurteile verbindet. Wer ihn besiegen will, muss diese doppelt trübe Quelle in den Blick nehmen, warnt @DrKissler. https://t.co/0WcdEXM8JA pic.twitter.com/lZd8wNBQOO

Anti-Semitism spreading on university campuses

Anti-Semitic incidents in higher education institutions have tripled, challenging the previous belief that anti-Semitism is most prevalent among the uneducated. According to Nius, leftist intellectuals have become increasingly susceptible to hate driven by pseudo-wisdom. One expert noted:

„In addition to far-right anti-Semitism, a new form has emerged: a left-wing, academic, migrants-related anti-Semitism.”

Left-wing journalists, the pro-immigration lobby, and Muslim organisations deny the presence of antisemitism, even as its manifestations become more and more visible.

Recently, universities have become the centres of anti-Israel and anti-Semitici demonstrations, both in Western Europe and the United States. Jewish students are now facing an unprecedented level of hostility. Once seen as bastions of free thought, universities have become breeding grounds for anti-Semitic extremism—fueled by unchecked radical activism, ideological bias among faculty, and government inaction.

Rabbi attacked for the second time in France, attacker held German documents

Elie Lemmel, a rabbi previously assaulted in Deauville, was attacked again in Neuilly-sur-Seine. While sitting at a restaurant in the town square, a man attacked him with a chair. The 63-year-old rabbi sustained injuries to his face and forehead and was hospitalised.

„I was sitting quietly outside when suddenly it felt like a chimney had collapsed on me,”

the rabbi told Le Parisien.

The 28-year-old attacker was arrested. Police and intelligence services had no prior knowledge of the man, and he was unarmed. Reportedly, the suspect, who spoke only Arabic, was found with German identity documents and a Quran. He is believed to have been born in Rafah, in the Gaza Strip. In a post on X, Rabbi Lemmel, who has now suffered two attacks, said:

„Thank God, everything is fine. I only took one hit and was insulted in a language I do not understand.”

Following the incident, the mayor of Neuilly-sur-Seine reiterated that

such anti-Semitic acts require a firm response and a clear political stance that leaves no room for ambiguity or justification, which could encourage further anti-Semitism.

Jewish communities in Belgium also under threat

The Belgian campaign group Stop Antisemitism says that Jews in the country are living in fear of anti-Semitic activists. Even the most religious are afraid to walk in public wearing a kippah, and some are considering moving from their cities altogether.

The Jews in Ghent are in shock and afraid. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES can one visibly appear Jewish in Ghent without fearing an attack in the street,

the group wrote.
