German politics misses the point when it comes to anti-Semitism. Journalist Lennart Pfahler is convinced of this. As he writes in the early edition of the newspaper “Welt am Sonntag” ( September 26), Muslim anti-Semitism is still taboo in Germany.
Whoever names it must fear being called a “right-winger” or a “fig leaf” if they are Muslim themselves. This is a “criminal failure of discourse”: “Apart from the police crime statistics, which have been blatantly misleading for years and which automatically classify alleged anti-Semitic crimes as ‘right-wing’ motivated if they cannot be attributed to anything else, there is little to support the convenient thesis of the marginal phenomenon.
In a survey by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, 41 per cent of Jews in Germany said they felt most threatened by Islamic anti-Semitism.
Conservative politicians and Jewish associations regularly pointed out the problem. Too often, the response from “left-liberal columnists and Muslim activists” was appeasing. The debate about the broadcaster Nemi El-Hassan shows how much the fight against anti-Semitism has degenerated into a political question of opinion.
Background: German public broadcaster WDR wanted to hire the journalist as a presenter. After protests – among other things because of El-Hassan’s participation in an anti-Israel Al-Quds demonstration – WDR suspended its decision. Prominent voices now wanted to stall the reappraisal of the case, Pfahler writes. Especially for those Muslims who tried to address the issue in their own community, this defensive attitude was a slap in the face….
You’d think the krauts would call attention to it. Anything to get them off the hook for the 40’s.
They have their Islamic. We do too.
Even worse, we have an issue with Black crime being reported
openly and honestly. You have to look way down into a story
or even go to outside sources to find out the perpetrator
was a Black person, at times. That isn’t right. It’s racist.
I want White, Black, Latino, & Islamic crime to be reported
openly and honestly.
Same goes with Jewish crime obviously.
a radio station used to have a stupid criminal segment called
Black,White,Mexi, or Jew
they would read the stupid criminal story and have the audience call in and guess which it was.
Eventually they were not allowed to include Jew anymore
The European Union is a suicide pact.
LOL...
Too few Jewish crimes, or they just thought it was racist?
I think they cut the Jew part out, and then later they were forced to cut the black out, so they said no more...
Okay.
Sounds like a great idea to me.
We’re all doing it here and other places.
This is so ironic, because it is not like Hitler to count on Muslims more than on Germans to exterminate Jews ... Oh, wait.
Here in Florida we do not have that problem cause regardless of you religion if you assault us here we have the right to shoot your sorry ass dead.
