Merkel Condemns “All Forms of Antisemitism,” Fails to Address Muslim Jew-Hatred in Germany
Muslim demonstrators in Berlin shout “death to Jews” and “Jews, remember Khaybar, army of Muhammad is coming again” during weekend protests
After two days of silence, German Chancellor Angela Merkel condemned antisemitic demonstrations that took place in Germany during the weekend. “We oppose all forms of antisemitism and xenophobia.” she told reporters on Monday. “The state has to use all available legal measures” against such acts, she added.
Merkel’s condemnation failed to address the issue of the Muslim demonstrators shouting “death to Jews” and “Jews, remember Khaybar, the army of Muhammad is coming again” in Arabic — alluding to the annihilation of the Jewish population of Khaybar, an oasis in Saudi Arabia, at the hands of Muhammad and his conquering army. The main demonstration took place at Berlin’s historic Brandenburg Gates, just a stone’s throw away from the Holocaust Memorial.
“It’s shameful when such open hatred of Jews is on display on the streets of German cities,” said Government spokesman Steffen Seibert, also refraining to specify the culprits. “Our laws on freedom of expression and assembly guarantee everyone a right to peaceful protest, but this right is no free pass for anti-Semitic atrocities, for incitement and violence,” he added.
Members of Merkel’s cabinet and Germany’s public broadcasters remained focused on the burning of Israeli flags during the weekend demonstrations, but skirted away from mentioning the rising of antisemitic death chants, let alone identity of the miscreants involved.
While Chancellor Merkel promised to “use all available legal measures”, the leading German newspaper Die Welt reported that no action was being taken against those who chanted “death to Jews” in Berlin over the weekend, claiming the local police were ‘helpless’.
“The fundamental right to freedom of protest is paramount. Offenses of considerable extent must take place [for the police] to break up the gathering,” said spokesperson for the Berlin Police, Thomas Neuendorf.
Some seven decades after the Holocaust, public calls for the exterminating Jews apparently do not count as offenses of “considerable extent” in Germany anymore.
Writing for the German newspaper Die Welt, commentator Ulf Poschardt described the recent antisemitic outbursts as an expression of “ethnic, naive antisemitism of the Muslims”. Poschardt is not the only one to misdiagnose the character of the growing Muslim antisemitism in the country. The spokesman for the Berlin Police described the Muslim gangs chanting “death of Jews” were “behaving emotionally.”
Islamists calling for the annihilation of Jews while standing next to Holocaust Memorial in Berlin are neither “naive” nor behaving “emotionally”. They aren’t reacting to President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital either, which in spite of its historic significance is a mere a statement of fact.
Despite grossly misdiagnosing the true character of Muslim antisemitism, Die Welt’s Columnist Poschardt summed up the growing antisemitic trend in the country correctly:
With the migration of tens and thousands of refugees from the Middle- and Near East, antisemitic attitudes have received new and powerful resonating spaces. Not a week goes by in which Jews — who are not wearing Kippah — are attacked, spat at, kicked and humiliated. “Jew” is a “normal” term of abuse in underprivileged neighborhoods.
Kids with Jewish roots deny these or must change schools after a process of tortuous bullying. This is relativized in a macabre way by teachers and parent representatives, who blame it partially on the situation in the Middle East.
Germany’s tiny and dwindling Jewish population has been a regular target of Muslim antisemitism. These recurring attacks have forced the community’s leaders to urge German Jews to refrain from wearing Jewish symbols in public.
“Jew hatred has exploded in Internet,” reported the German newspaper Bild Zeitung on Monday, citing research carried out by Professor Monika Schwarz-Friesel of the Technical University of Berlin:
In last ten years, the volume of antisemitic comments have tripled and have become qualitatively more aggressive. At the same time, the tendency to relativize, defend and deny can be witnessed in the society, as well as heightened indifference and lack of empathy, Schwarz-Friesel says. [Author’s translation]
“More than 85 percent of antisemitic comments are connected to the Jewish State,” Professor Monika Schwarz-Friesel reveals, quoting empirical data.
It isn’t that Chancellor Merkel or the country innocently sleep-walked into this disaster. Jewish leaders, educators, law enforcement officials have been warning of inevitable disaster for quite some time.
In November 2015, at the beginning of the Migrant Crisis, Josef Schuster, head of Germany’s Central Council of Jews — a umbrella organization of the German Jewish community, had urged Chancellor Merkel to reconsider her decision to allow uncontrolled migration from Arab and Muslim countries, cautioning that many of the migrants were coming “from cultures in which hate towards Jews and intolerance are fixed components.
Needless to say, Chancellor Merkel and rest of the political establishment chose to ignore those warnings.

Given what’s happened to Christians in the Middle East, there can be no doubt that Christians will be fleeing Europe for a safe harbor, hundreds of years since the last great Christian migration. Jews are already doing it, but they have a safe harbor in Israel. Where is the Christian’s safe harbor? The USA is possible, but Euro media have propagandized the US as a red neck alt-right waste land. Of course in a decade that might be exactly what the new migrants from Europe want.
The time is nigh for Vlad the Impaler’s return to save Europe from these invaders.
There is a tragic and bitter irony in the fact that, decades after the Allies (and, of course, Resistance fighters and victims) paid an incredibly steep cost in confronting and defeating National Socialism in Europe during World War II, feckless, naive and foolish European states (with the notable exception of the four Visegrad countries) have completely squandered this hard-fought and costly peace dividend and have now seen fit to welcome — with red carpet treatment and open arms — the goose-stepping, jackbooted adherents of the supremacist, belligerent, totalitarian, anti-religious pluralist, anti-secular, anti-Democratic, ideology of “Submission.”
And, by doing so, these countries have essentially resurrected National Socialist Youth and the SS in their midst, by the millions, to the point that Jews and other religious minorities cannot even openly worship, eat, shop or walk in the streets without fear of being attacked or murdered by the Muslim jackboots.
This disgraceful state of affairs is the face of the “new Europe” in the twenty-first century, which, tragically enough, resembles what Europe looked like during the twentieth century while it was under National Socialist occupation and the boot of the Third Reich.
The jackboots’ costumes and battle standard have changed, and, their accents are different, but, the underlying message remains the same — a vile message of supremacism, hate and belligerence, drawn from an utterly vile, evil and irredeemable 1,400-year-old ideology that tells its adherents that they have the right (by alleged Divine command, no less) to kill and subjugate people who do not share their beliefs and who are deemed to be “inferior.”
The European continent is being conquered from within, thanks to the emasculated and idiotic multiculturalist European leadership. Farage, Orban and their ilk can only do so much, and, they are clearly outnumbered by their foolish and craven peers, the latter lacking the gumption and the will to preserve their respective nations’ democratic values, cultures and secular governments.
Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia may well be the sole remaining secular democratic states in Europe in a few years’ time.
You don’t get it at all. “Secular” governments will not save Europe, not when the challenge facing Europe is a religious war relentlessly being waged by Muslims. You cannot fight something with nothing. You cannot face Islam with secularism. The fight must be one of faith, genuine faith, not faux faith. So, Jews and Christians must unite to free Europe of the Muslim invaders.
Today, the Muslims are warring against the Jews in Europe, even as they have begun the rape of “Christians” on the continent. Tomorrow, they will destroy cathedrals—such attacks have already begun in France.
Thanks to Merkel, a lot of Europeans will be raped, butchered, forced to convert to Islam; however, that is what Merkel, the heir to Hitler wanted because the Muslims are also Hitler’s heirs.
As for the USA taking in European refugees, hell, no. Let them stew in the hell they created for themselves. Europe has long disdained its Judaeo-Christian history even as they knew what the Muslims are capable of. Let Europe solve European problems. We don’t want them coming here to become citizens and voting for the same nonsense they left behind.
I would bet that anti-semitism of muslims is at least 90% around the world. In Germany, it is probably 98%. What does Merkel think about this? The muslim immigrants have no respect for German social laws or norms. They have no respect for the property rights of Germany and with their disdain and hatred of Jews, why are they allowed to stay? What does Merkel hope will happen? Does she think the muslims will CHANGE? Has she ever heard of a moderate muslim and then actually met one? No one has. They are as rare as a unicorn. As horrible as it would be, the only hope for Europe is to have a rude awakening by a revolt of their imported terrorists and respond with a massive wave of deportation of all offenders. Once this wave begins it will become a muslim tsunami.
Merkel condemns all forms of anti-Semitism so harshly that she intends to import twice as much of the particularly virulent Islamic variety in 2018.
So all good Germans can join in condemning a form of anti-Semitism that dwarfs their own. It’s the era of good feelings in Deutschland. Now, in comparison, they feel a lot less guilty about what they did to the Jews back in the 1930s and ’40s.
Since they’ve imported a population that plans to do worse.
“Khaybar Khaybar, ya yahud, Jaish Muhammad, sa yahud.”
Germany’s newest most favoritist Christmas carol. Because nothing warms the heart, and the hands, on a cold winter night more than the steaming blood streaming out of a freshly beheaded infidel corps.
“Khaybar Khaybar is topping the charts in 2017 well above last year’s no. 1 and 2 carols O Tannenbaum and Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht.
See? Who says the Muslims aren’t enriching German culture. And remember, volk, to participate in the newest German New Year tradition. The mass group grope and gang rape in public squares in all major German cities.
Many Jews failed to see the coming horror in the 1930s. Many of those who could have left, didn’t. They should not make the same mistake (collectively) again. The various EU governments have shown they will not take action to protect the Jewish minority. These governments will mouth platitudes, but nothing more.
Save yourselves, it is only going to get worse.
I hate to write such a “dark” comment, but I think it is reasonably accurate.
Tom Kratman’s novel _Caliphate_ looks less and less like science fiction.
