Germany: Anti-Semitism chief tells Jews that their fears over the influx of Muslim migrants are legitimate

Apr 28, 2018 9:42 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Germany’s first special envoy for Jewish life and combating anti-Semitism, Dr. Felix Klein, has warned that Jews in Germany have legitimate fears for their safety due to “the influx of almost one million mostly Muslim immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa sparked in 2015 by chancellor Angela Merkel.”

This is a stunning statement, considering the laborious efforts to stigmatize and punish “Islamophobia,” which is generally defined as including negative feelings toward Islam, a religion that is bringing incalculable harm to innocent people in Germany and elsewhere today.

It is prudent to be fearful in the face of real dangers. Even Muslims who step out of line — such as Muslim homosexuals — have to hide out of fear of what their own religion declares about how they should be treated.

Klein noted that “German Jews have long warned that many of the new arrivals hail from countries where hatred of Jews and of the State of Israel were taught from an early age.”

Such hatred is sanctioned in Islam, as Robert Spencer explains here.

Angela Merkel uttered the notorious words, “We can do this,” and has persisted in her determination to bring in more Muslim migrants. Yet even she admitted earlier in the week that “anti-Semitism is coming to the country from refugees or people of Arab origin.”

“German Anti-Semitism Chief Tells Jews: Your Fears over Influx of Muslim, Arab Refugees Legitimate,” by Simon Kent, Breitbart, April 26, 2018:

The German government’s first special envoy to the Jewish community has warned that Jews’ fear over the influx of Muslim, Arab refugees is legitimate.

Dr. Felix Klein also counseled German Jewish men to exercise caution before appearing in public spaces wearing the traditional kippah headpiece.

Dr. Klein chose an interview with the Times of Israel to reveal his concerns for Jews on the same day rallies took place across the country supporting Jewish people after a spate of shocking anti-Semitic assaults. One such rally in Berlin ended early when angry counter-protesters shouted “terrorists”, spat at them, and snatched their Israeli flag, organisers said.

Asked directly if a German Jew can wear a traditional kippah in a public place without concern, Dr. Klein, who was appointed earlier this month as the German government’s first special envoy for Jewish life and combating anti-Semitism, replied: “In principle, yes. But not always.” He continued:

But they have to be vigilant. It’s not entirely without danger; one has to be alert. In the end, everyone has to assess the risks for himself. The danger is there. But I wouldn’t necessarily agree with those who say it’s absolutely impossible to show one’s Jewishness in public in Germany.

Last week Germans were stunned after a 19-year-old Syrian refugee attacked two young men wearing kippahs with his belt in the heart of the capital….

    Muslims sabotage Indian websites and get arrested. These are the same Muslims who were given the best of education and facilities by the Indian Govt and they still do this as a way of paying back… Germans should learn from this about the real mentality of these fellows..

    When the truth about Islam’s agenda to conquer and subjugate becomes so-o-o-o obvious it simply cannot be ignored, what then?
    Governments will be forced to do policy somersaults while pretending they were against Islam all along. There’ll be a few sheepish faces among these clowns!

    Dr. Klein is not really mentioning the true dangers for Jews in Germany: the Muslim invadors.
    He only states that the AfD were anti-semitic, which is not true. The AfD is the only Party in Germnay which does not support Palestinian terror in Israel. And the AfD is the only German party that explains that the Muslim invasion leads to hatred against Jews and Christians, women and homosexuals, to no-go-areas in Germany and to counter-societies in German towns.
    This special envoy has only been installed in order to divide Christians and Jews in Germany and to advise the Jews to team up with the Muslims.

      It’s only propaganda – if you are Pro Germany you are a Nazi !

    If Germans (and Europeans in general) really want to right the injustice meted to the Jews of Europe and the Holocaust, hundreds of thousands of them should wear the KIPPAH and dare Muslim Nazis to attack them.

    If Europeans truly mean their concerns for the Jews of Europe, such an act would do more wonders than all the empty statements made on Radio, TV and Print. ACTION speaks infinitely louder than words

    I doubt that they will because they are not even willing to defend Christian women from Muslim rape gangs

    Now that Jews were the target they speak against Muslims and say who are the aggressors – but it’s still ignored that EVERY Non – Muslim is a target .

    Germans need a Central advisory like the Jews have !

    The German people get killed and raped daily and nobody cares about it — specially not our ” Mutti ” Merkel

    Hitler found common ground with Islam for their mutual hate of Jewish people. Hitler wrote his book after reading the Koran.

    Now, Germany bringing hundred of thousands of people who have part of their ideology a fundanental hatrid towards Jews (because their war lord in the 7th century could not be successful in subjugating them) is importing more anti-semitism that is not going to go away… unless you kick them massively out of Germany.

    Well duh, how many postgraduate degrees did it take him to figure this out? It couldn’t be that he actually READ the hateful antiSemitic Muslim scripture, could it?

    Yes germans, what happened in the 2nd world war, 6.000.000 and more Jews were killed, were mutilated,put through all kind of medical experiments, Roma’s and homo’s and gays were put in concentration camps too. Do you see the light German people, does it bring you an association,
    similarities?
    We are in the same boat again, only now it are the Jews again, and this time the white people.
    Didn’t you get Marshallhelp after you committed all those atrocities?
    And this are the new circumstances you brought us in. You are the same people as in Islam, it is like Isabella said. Hitler wrote his book after he read mein Kampf.
    Your governments have done nothing to stop the violence, rapings , beheadings, beheadings.
    And what I find worse that nobody gets punished really for those atrocities,Where are the people in Germany who were forced to go into the concentration camps to look what had become of people
    there when the Americans came to free them? Where are your protests?
    I myself am in protests for every country or minority that has to suffer under oppression from people who think that they are higher then they are. But I guess you will always be Germans and you are very much as people from the Islam. BUT THAT IS YOUR CHOICE, and one day in is your turn and you get everything back, what gos around, comes around.

    Maybe letting in the Muslims is a convenient way for Germans to get rid of the moral responsibility and culpable of their crimes against the Jews. They can finally say we tried to do the right thing but the amount of Muslims that is in our country is making it impossible to protect the Jews.

    • Isabella says

      Apr 29, 2018 at 10:00 am

      The difference is that Infidel Germans are also the victims of Islam in Germany. Infidel Germans you better side with the Jews. Stop being fooled because eventually you will end up with civil unrest. Wake up Germany!

      To Mark

      One always looks for an explantion, when there is a phenomenon one does not understand, but explanations should be rooted in reality. Your conjecture about the Muslim invasion of Germany is simply off the mark. Cultural marxism, multiculturalism, the German “gulit cult” account for our strange attitude towards the flooding of our country with Muslims. Angela Merkel is not a secret Muslim, nor does she harbour any anti-semitic feelings. On the contrary. The one thing she certainly is most afraid of is being labeled as antisemitic or racist. Wake up, man! This is not 1933 nor World War II, the year is 2018.
