Article on German Antisemitism Ignores the Elephant in the Room | Algemeiner.com
An article in The Independent on the rise of antisemitism in Germany by the Berlin-based journalist Erik Kirschbaum, did what so many media reports on anti-Jewish racism do — it focused entirely on the right-wing variety, whilst ignoring the far-left and Muslim variety.
The article (“How an antisemitic incident in Leipzig highlighted the chilling emergence of the far-right in Germany’s east,” Oct. 10) opened with a recent incident in Leipzig, where a luxury hotel manager reportedly told an Israeli-German singer, Gil Ofarim, to cover up his Star of David necklace if he wanted a room. The incident, readers were informed, “triggered a wider discussion about an alarming trend in recent years in which antisemitism has become socially acceptable in some circles in Germany.”
