Berlin authorities have ordered pro-Gaza demonstrators to stop chanting anti-semitic messages, after protesters were reportedly heard shouting 'Gas the Jews'.
Sizeable anti-Israel rallies have been held in the German capital, with people taking to the streets allegedly chanting anti-semitic slogans. Some of the demonstrations are said to be organised by Muslim immigrants and neo-Nazi groups.
The Berlin authorities are also investigating anti-semitic behaviour by a radical Imam in the city, after a video uploaded by Israeli daily Haaretz showed an Imam calling for the obliteration of Jews, telling his followers to "kill them to the very last one".
Condemning the anti-semitism, Dieter Graumann, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, was quoted by AFP as saying: "We are currently experiencing in this country an explosion of evil and violent hatred of Jews, which shocks and dismays all of us."

(7,321 posts)criticizing Israeli policy is NOT anti-semitism.
But 99% of criticizing Israel is based on false or incomplete information spread by anti-Semites.

(14,851 posts)Were they concerned about the Gaza Palestinians or they just hated Jews ?

(53,921 posts)It shows that, for some, the underpinning of "support" for the Palestinians is nothing more than good, old fashioned anti-Semitism.

(53,921 posts)But we should be thankful we have so many non-Jews willing to tell us Jews what is an isn't anti-Semitism!

(53,921 posts)I have never seen so many Nazi references, and false equivalencies in a long time. If all the conflating of Jews with Israelis, you'd think a team would spring to action to correct that wrong! Oh, it's probably only active or on alert when JEWS are making those comparisons.

(3,051 posts)I have no understanding how it became fashionable in liberal circles to tell lies about Jewish people and tell lies about Israel.
I had to endure a lecture about how "Israel is keeping Gaza blockaded." I ask him if he was aware that there was a 143 mile border between Gaza and Egypt and asked him if he was mad at Egypt. All he could say was "it's different."
People apparently do not know:
Israel has offered a two-state solution many, many times. In fact, before modern Israel was Israel, the two state solution was the plan --- a plan rejected by the arabs because they want the area Judenfrei and reject a Jewish state.
Many, many arabs live in Israel peacefully as equal citizens --- 1/5 citizens, in fact. The so-called "Palestinians" had this option but refused to live in a country that treated Jews as their equals.
Jordan and Egypt have washed their hands of the so-called "Palestinians"
Most of the arabs in question are very recent immigrants who came into what is now Israel to get work from Jewish people who returned.
"Arab East Jerusalem" became "Arab" with a series of pogroms (largest in 1929) that drove Jewish families from homes where they had lived for over 1,000 years in many cases.
That Hamas is backed by Iran.
That Gaza and the West bank have received more aide, per capita, than any people in the world, many times over. 10s of times larger than the Marshall Plan, for example.
Gaza and the West bank have plenty of food. In fact, the population is among the fattest in the world.
Israel gave Gaza a massive industry of green houses in Gush Katif. They burned it all down.
Western nations built the arabs power plants. The arabs broke them and now get free electricity from Israel.
Etc.

Israel warns residents' cell phones that an attack is coming so they can flee.
Hamas not only intentionally fires rockets from areas where there are children and women, but forces them to stay so as to cause casualties when Israel strikes. Big men who hide behind women and children.
