The recent attack on two men wearing kippas in Berlin has alarmed the Central Jewish Council. On Tuesday its President, Josef Schuster, advised Germany’s Jews against wearing kippas in cities like Berlin or Munich. […]

Jewish people living in Germany’s major cities should “wear a baseball cap or something else”, rather than the traditional Jewish head covering, Schuster suggested.

Schuster warned that if open anti-Semitism is not countered, then democracy in Germany is in danger. “It is not just anti-Semitism; it is also racism and xenophobia. This requires a clear stop sign,” he said.

Just do not, ever, EVER allow the victim the chance to defend themselves.

Next thing they’ll want is a voice to be heard in government. Can’t let that happen.

Good grief, what is next? “Jewish Councils advise German Jews to move into ghettos as ordered by the government.”

I hope they all emigrate to Israel or the USA immediately. Germany is going down the drain again.

I’ve only heard the term yarmulke. Learn something every day.

“I’ve only heard the term yarmulke”

Yarmulke is the yiddish word originating among European Jews. Kippah is the Hebrew term, literally meaning ‘covering’. They are pretty much interchangeable.
