German intel agency warns antisemitism is filtering into mainstream discourse – BfV chief Thomas Haldenwang says hateful imagery present at protests over COVID restrictions, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Russia’s war in Ukraine | Timesofisrael

BERLIN — Germany’s domestic intelligence agency said Wednesday that antisemitic offenses are continuing to rise and those that come to light are only “the tip of the iceberg.”
The head of the BfV agency, Thomas Haldenwang, said it is alarming that antisemitic narratives are sometimes embraced by people in “the middle of German society,” serving as a link between social discourse and extremist ideologies.
