I think it has less to do with anti-semitism than with radical opposition to the policy of Israel. And, not to forget, that Berlin is the biggest Turkish community western of Istambul.

A tenant has not the right to do what he wants with "his windows". Usually, the contract says that he has to ask for written permission of the house-owner. I guess the Israel-supporter hasn´t done that...

Comparisons between the 1930´s and today are a slap into the face of all who were victims of the Nazi regime and who live in Germany of today.

"Comparisons between the 1930´s and today are a slap into the face of all who were victims of the Nazi regime and who live in Germany of today."

That would be every single member of my family that didn't flee Europe for the US after WWI.

I don't think it's all that different - there is the same official disregard for hooligans who attack Jews, there are similar political cartoons bringing back the hook-nosed stereotype of the greedy Jew and the blood-libel, and there are rallies where participants call for the deaths of all Jews.

The only argument that you could make is that the threat comes this time not from the right - but from the left. Then again, Hitler's party was a socialist party...

Ironically, Turkey has better relations with Israel than any other Muslim country.

Also, the claims that "I don't hate Jews, I am just against Israel" doesn't stand up to scrutiny for very long, typically. 99% of the folks I've met who use that argument base their position on innacurate information, and are unwilling to change their position when their "facts" are challenged with documentation. Usually, you can narrow it down just to either 1) plain old Jew-hating, 2) wacky conspiracy theories, or 3) radical left (or right) ideologue.
