Germany's government commissioner on anti-Semitism has warned Jews about the potential dangers of wearing the traditional kippah skullcap in the face of rising anti-Jewish attacks.
"I cannot advise Jews to wear the kippah everywhere all the time in Germany," Felix Klein said in an interview published Saturday by the Funke regional press group.
In issuing the warning, he said he had "alas, changed my mind (on the subject) compared to previously."
Klein, whose post was created last year, cited "the lifting of inhibitions and the uncouthness which is on the rise in society" as factors behind a rising incidence of anti-Semitism.
"The internet and social media have largely contributed to this -- but so have constant attacks against our culture of remembrance."
And he suggested police, teachers and lawyers should be better trained to recognize what constitutes "clearly defined" unacceptable behavior and "what is authorized and what is not."
His comments came just weeks after Berlin's top legal expert on anti-Semitism said the issue remains entrenched in German society.
"Anti-Semitism has always been here. But I think that recently, it has again become louder, more aggressive and flagrant," Claudia Vanoni told AFP in an interview, adding the problem was "deeply rooted" in German society.

The arrival in parliament of the far-right AfD, whose leaders openly question Germany's culture of atonement for World War II atrocities, has also contributed to the change in atmosphere, as has the arrival of more than a million asylum seekers, many from Muslim countries such as Syria, Afghanistan or Iraq.
Klein said that while the far-right was to blame for the vast majority of anti-Semitic crime, it was apparent that some Muslims were also influenced by watching certain television channels "which transmit a dreadful image of Israel and Jews." Tags:

Are the Muslims there being warned against wearing hijabs?
Jews should not be warned, those who try to harm them should be warned that they would get the most serious punishment for harming or harassing Jewish people.
No, they’re armed to the teeth in case they meet a Jooo! wearing a kippah. So the “far right” steers clear.
They just cannot admit who the real culprits are. And of course when it is Muslims perpetrating the hate, it’s never their fault. Evidently they have to be inspired by someone else to do their dirty deeds.
Isn’t forced multiculturalism grand?
those who try to harm them should be warned that they would get the most serious punishment for harming or harassing Jewish people.

why would you think that would stop Moslims? Their entire foundation is that it is good to suffer and die for Islam. This is not a downside.
Justice Minister Katarina Barley told the Handelsblatt newspaper the increase was “shameful for our country” but added that the police were “vigilant.”
HA! “Vigilant,” but not so vigilant that it’s safe to wear a kippah in public.
I’d warn Jews living in Germany that they’re completely nuts for being there, and should get out.
“Isn’t forced multiculturalism grand?”
Part of German culture to force feelings, I think.
“You will have a good time and enjoy it, whether you like it or not.”
But in this instance, it’s a death wish.
We should have wiped Germany off the map. These idiots keep repeating history.
Any Jews still living in Europe after the Holocaust - and especially in Germany - are out of their minds.
Twenty years after the Holocaust, I could understand. But in the present atmosphere it’s pure insanity.
Jews were warned not to wear kippah in Germany starting in 1933.
What’s next, Star of David patch with “Jude” on it?
If I were twenty years younger, and in better shape, I would make a point of visiting Berlin with a big yarmulke on my head and a Star of David patch on my coat. But now I can only dream of such derring do.
Most of the problem today is the Muslim migrants Ms. Merkel let in, not native Germans.
No. I thing that their government does not want them to stand out. Sadly, many might think to leave.
It is outrageous that hateful people would attack those they hate based on what they are wearing on their head. Then again, there are places in this country where you can’t wear a MAGA hat without risking being accosted or even assaulted by people with TDS. So there’s that.

Must be the “far right”. They’re everywhere./s
Time to go to Israel.
They just cannot admit who the real culprits are.

Iirc, it’s actually against the law, with a fine and jail time, for speaking honestly about Islam or Muslims in Germany.
