Germany warns of spike in anti-Semitism over coronavirus – Berlin’s anti-Semitism watchdog says Jew-hatred is a virus as well, spreading ‚on the social level‘ | i24NEWS
The COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak has stirred up renewed Jew-hatred in Germany, the government’s anti-Semitism commissioner warned Tuesday.
„There are direct links between the current spread of the coronavirus and that of anti-Semitism,“ Felix Klein said in Berlin at the launch of a new official research project addressing the issue.
„There is a boom in conspiracy theories in times of crisis,“ he said, describing anti-Semitism as a virus that spreads ‚on the social level‘ — and is being leveraged by the far-right to promote their own agenda.
