German anti-Semitism and resentment towards Israel have risen sharply in recent months, a new survey has found

I was in Germany from 80 to 84. I was of the opinion that anti-Semitism was always there, it was just below the surface. Now it's kind of coming out in the open.

The article estimates somewhere between 18% and 27% of the population has anti-Jewish sentiments. Somewhere around 6% of the population are Muslims. That would imply that anti-Jewish sentiment is shared by 12% to 21% of the non-Muslim population.

Where would you put those non-Muslim anti-Semites on the political spectrum? Left or right?

I got nothing against you but tonight I don’t care.

So what...Germans are not all sweet for Israelis... I’m shocked I tell u....no one in Europe sees the Israeli Pali crap like we do...none...maybe the Poles

The more fun poll would be what do modern lefty Germans think about liberal American Jews

I can feel the love already..

Both groups ultralib and both groups basically secular and atheist or agnostic these days

Funny isn’t it....American Jews and Germans more alike than ever....

Anyhow....were losing our birthright here with nary a shot fired

This whole Jewish thing is hard to sort out. On the one hand, the Israelis stand out as a heroic people with heroic leaders and, but for their socialistic tendencies, a beacon in a sea of Muslim slime.

On the other hand, American Jews fulfill some of the stereotypes that Germans propagated in the lead up to WWII.

For my part, I am done defending them. Let them wallow in their liberalism. If Stormfront or equivalent becomes legitimized in the US, as these anti-Semitic organizations have in Europe, they can get Al Sharpton to advocate for them.

a spike in negative views towards Israel and Jews in general between June and September

At Berlin’s Brandenburg gate on September 14, Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, gave one of the most intensely personal speeches of her political career. The occasion was a rally of political, religious and civic leaders against anti-Semitism.

... Ms Merkel is not alone in expressing concern about an apparent rise in anti-Semitic crime across Europe.

More than one in four respondents in the new poll equated the Jewish state's treatment of Palestinian Arabs to Nazi persecution of Jews during World War Two, Reuters reported on Thursday.
