Germany: Covid-19 Triggers New Wave of Anti-Semitism<\/h3>\n

Soeren Kern | Gatestone Institute<\/a> | February 24, 2021<\/p>\n

The number of anti-Semitic hate crimes in Germany surged to a two-decade high in 2020, according<\/a> to new statistics released by the German government. Anti-Semitism in Germany has been steadily growing in recent years, fueled in part by far-left anti-Israel activists<\/a> and by mass migration<\/a> from the Muslim world. The problem is now being exacerbated by the Coronavirus pandemic, which far-right conspiracy theorists are blaming on both Jews and Israel.<\/p>\n

German police reported a total of 2,275 anti-Semitic hate crimes \u2014 an average of six per day \u2014 in 2020, according<\/a> to preliminary data provided by the federal government. The tally represents a more than 10% increase over the number of anti-Semitic crimes reported in 2019, itself a record-breaking year for such offenses. The official numbers represent only the crimes reported to the police; the actual number of incidents is presumably much bigger.<\/p>\n
