Seventy years after the mass murder of Jews at the hands of Nazis the following chant could be heard at "Pro-Palestinian" demonstrations on the streets of Berlin, Frankfurt and other German cities:
"Jude, Jude, feiges Schwein, komm heraus und kämpf allein!”
("Jew, Jew, you cowardly pig. Come out and fight!")
ABC News reports even worse:
BERLIN (AP) — The leader of Germany's Jewish community says he is shocked by an "explosion of evil and violent hatred of Jews" shown by protesters at pro-Gaza demonstrations across the country The president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Dieter Graumann, said Monday that "we would have never in our lives have expected that anti-Semitic slogans of the worst and most primitive kind could be chanted on Germany's streets."
Since the outbreak of violence in Israel and Gaza, there have been demonstrations both for and against Israel in Germany. During some of those protests, pro-Gaza protesters have chanted "gas the Jews" and other anti-Semitic slogans.
At a pro-Gaza protest in Berlin last week, an Israeli tourist was verbally attacked and had to be protected by police.
Who are these demonstrators, protesting against "the Jewish state"? For the most part, it appears to be an unholy alliance of Islamists, Neo-Nazis, and Leftists. The outbreak of violence in Israel and Gaza has been a convenient excuse to allow for the latent anti-Semitism to explode in the open:
From Der Frankfurter Rundschau (my translation)
"The slogans that we can hear in German streets today indicate a new dimension of anti-Semitic hate. The latent anti-Semitism (researchers estimate 20 to 25% of the German population is anti-Semitic) has erupted in the open. This may be a minority, but we have not seen it taken to such an extreme perhaps in the history of the Federal Republic"
How ironic that neo-Nazis are coming together with Muslim extremists to make common cause. Usually, the NPD (Germany's neo-Nazi party) describes the Muslims in Germany as an alien bacillus, infecting the pure German Volk. But when it comes to vocally hating or physically attacking Jews, these Muslim extremists and the neo-Nazis are bosom-buddies.
