So it has come to this.
Jews in Germany now are so worried about assaults by Muslims that some — many — of them are afraid to wear their kippahs in public. The other day, just to test whether attacks on Jews were a problem in Germany — which he initially doubted — an Israeli Arab went walking with a friend in Berlin. They were both wearing kippahs. He was set upon and beaten with a belt, until his Muslim aggressor was pulled away by two other Muslims. He captured it all on video, and that video went viral. He had learned a lesson he was not expecting; wearing the kippah was indeed dangerous.
The latest in the kippah saga, and about antisemitism in Germany, is in this story, “Germany’s Jews urged not to wear kippahs after attacks, BBC, April 24, 2018:
The leader of Germany’s Jewish community has advised Jews to avoid wearing traditional skullcaps (kippahs) following anti-Semitic attacks.
Josef Schuster, the president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, told Berlin public radio that Jews should exercise caution in big cities.
His comments come ahead of a “Berlin Wears Kippah” solidarity march in the German capital on Wednesday.
Last week, two young men wearing kippahs were assaulted in the city.
The attacker was filmed shouting anti-Semitic abuse.
Jewish organisations in Germany have expressed alarm over a number of recent anti-Semitic insults and threats in schools.
At the weekend, Chancellor Angela Merkel condemned what she described as “another form of anti-Semitism.”
She told Israel’s Channel 10 TV network that aside from anti-Semitism by right-wing groups, similar threats were coming from some Muslim refugees in the country.
Does Angela Merkel have any idea how many antisemitic attacks have been carried out by “right-wing” groups and how many by Muslims? If she does, why not share that information with the German public?
Is this the first time that Angela Merkel has realized that “some Muslims” exhibit antisemitic behavior? Angela Merkel has done more to make Germany safe for Muslim antisemites, merely by letting in a million Muslims, than anyone else in the world. She is the leader of a country that, within living memory, murdered six million Jews. She has, therefore, a special duty to ensure that Jews are safe in Germany. She has a responsibility to promptly and exhaustively investigate when Jews in Germany are threatened or attacked, when Jewish children are beaten up by Muslim classmates, when Jews in general are fearful even of walking outside. It is not “right-wing” Germans, though such exist, who are making Jews fearful in Germany today. It is not “extremists,” but mainstream Muslims, who take the antisemitic verses in the Qur’an and stories in the hadith to heart and act upon them. Angela Merkel has a duty to study the Quran, and to give special attention to the passages denouncing Jews, which until now she clearly has not done.
Here’s what could be done to shame Angela Merkel into studying Islamic antisemitism. First, take that most useful list of antisemitic verses in the Qur’an, compiled by Robert Spencer, where he gives a brief summary of each verse’s contents, as well as its sura and ayat. Thus, for example, when Spencer refers in his own words to the contents of verses that accuse Jews of “fabricating things and falsely ascribing them to Allah (2:79; 3:75; 3:181),” you should prepare for any debate by having written out the full text of each verse — 2:79, 3:75, 3:181– so that they are ready to be read out.
Spencer’s list of those antisemitic verses in the Qur’an is overwhelming and devastating:
The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the wellbeing of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); as fabricating things and falsely ascribing them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); claiming that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); loving to listen to lies (5:41); disobeying Allah and never observing his commands (5:13); disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more.
He then discusses the major Qur’anic commentators on those verses:
The classic Qur’anic commentators not do not mitigate the Qur’an’s words against Jews, but only add fuel to the fire. Ibn Kathir explained Qur’an 2:61 (“They were covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah”) this way: “This Ayah [verse] indicates that the Children of Israel were plagued with humiliation, and that this will continue, meaning that it will never cease. They will continue to suffer humiliation at the hands of all who interact with them, along with the disgrace that they feel inwardly.” Another Middle Ages commentator of lingering influence, Abdallah ibn Umar al-Baidawi, explains the same verse this way: “The Jews are mostly humiliated and wretched either of their own accord, or out of coercion of the fear of having their jizya [punitive tax] doubled.”
Ibn Kathir notes Islamic traditions that predict that at the end of the world, “the Jews will support the Dajjal (False Messiah), and the Muslims, along with ‘Isa [Jesus], son of Mary, will kill the Jews.” The idea in Islam that the end times will be marked by Muslims killing Jews comes from the prophet Muhammad himself, who said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.’” This is, not unexpectedly, a favorite motif among contemporary jihadists.
Now, in order to force Islamic antisemitism into the German national consciousness, and to bring it, in particular, to Merkel’s attention, there ought to be a public reading of the several dozen indisputably antisemitic verses in the Qur’an, in the Bundestag itself, by some of its members.
Let the reading in the Bundestag be made into an event, publicized in advance, well-covered by the media. Let millions in Germany hear those antisemitic verses in the Qur’an as they are read out in the Bundestag, then reported on, by being transcribed, in the press, broadcast on radio and television, uploaded to YouTube, and blogged about incessantly, so that few in Germany can any longer remain insufficiently aware of Islamic antisemitism. Chancellor Merkel herself will have to pay stunned attention. She must be forced to realize the full folly of her heedless mass immigration policies, for which not she, but Germany’s Jews, are now paying the highest price.
That is one thing that might be done.
Here is another.
There will no doubt be more marches where, in a sign of solidarity with Jews, many non-Jews will wear the kippah, as they did on April 24, at “Berlin Wears The Kippah.” But it would be still better if hundreds of thousands of non-Jewish Germans could continue to wear these kippahs long after these marches are over, not only as a sign of solidarity with Jews who feel besieged, but also to confuse Muslims, making them unsure of their prey. It would also be useful if the police, as part of their attempt to suppress antisemitic acts, were to send out small groups of policemen, all specially trained in, and adept at, unarmed combat, such as Krav Maga, but also — just in case — armed with concealed weapons. These groups — each consisting of two to four policemen — could fan out across German cities, at irregular hours, including Muslim neighborhoods, wearing kippahs and other clothing seemingly identifying them as Jews. And if set upon, they could give their Muslim attackers the surprise of their lives — before, of course, arresting them. If there are enough such arrests, this should discourage Muslims from such attacks.
Meanwhile, the debate among German Jews on the pros and cons of wearing the kippah continues.
Here again is Josef Schuster, the head of the main German Jewish organization, who still thinks Jews should not risk wearing a kippah:
“Defiantly showing your colors would in principle be the right way to go [to tackle anti-Semitism],” he said.
“Nevertheless, I would advise individual people against openly wearing a kippah in big German cities,” Mr Schuster added.
But he also stressed that if Germans refused to stand up to anti-Semitism “our democracy would be at risk.”
“This is not only about anti-Semitism – it goes along with racism, it goes along with xenophobia. You need a clear stop sign here.”
We are left in some confusion. According to Schuster, German Jews shouldn’t wear the kippah, as it’s now too dangerous, but if Germans don’t stand up to antisemitism, “our democracy would be at risk.” Isn’t wearing the kippah a very good way for Germans to “stand up to antisemitism”? Or does Josef Schuster have another idea?
What about reaction from other groups?
Mr Schuster’s comments apparently contradict the position taken on the kippah issue by the Berlin-based Jewish Forum for Democracy and Against Anti-Semitism – the organisation which shared video of last week’s attack on Facebook.
“I used to always advise my Jewish friends and acquaintances not to wear a kippah so as not to show their Jewish identity. I changed my opinion,” a spokesman said last week.
“We must take up this fight and be visible again in public.”
Separately, the head of Germany’s Central Council of Muslims condemned recent anti-Semitic attacks.
“Anti-Semitism, racism and hatred are great sins in Islam, therefore we will also never tolerate that,” Aiman Mazyek told Germany’s Rheinische Post newspaper.
Aiman Mazyek’s statement that “antisemitism [is a] great sin in Islam” is not true; he knows it is not true, but hopes the German kuffars won’t, or if they know that far from being a “great sin,” it is encouraged in Islam, will nonetheless hold back from criticising him, lest they be accused of islamophobia. There should be no more fear of that idiotic charge and no more tolerance for this kind of bald-faced taqiyya. Mazyek needs to be called on his outrageous remark (he is, by the way, always trotted out as a “Muslim moderate,” marching side-by-side with Angela Merkel to “denounce” the Paris attacks and also, at the same time, anti-Islam “bigotry”). He should be asked to comment on the nearly three dozen antisemitic verses in the Qur’an, as listed above. How will he, how can he, respond? In Germany, as in France, people are getting fed up with the nonsense and lies about Islam to which they have been subjected. And another question for Aimay Mazyek: In what Qur’anic verses or hadith are Muslims instructed to regard antisemitism as a “great sin”?
Germany’s Jewish population has grown rapidly since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Before 1989, the population was below 30,000 but an influx of Jews, mainly from the former Soviet Union, has raised the number to more than 200,000.
In summary, these are the steps that need to be taken. First, the German public needs to know that these attacks by Muslims on Jews, on the streets, on public transport, and in the schools, are widespread. They need precise data, so far not provided by the German government, on antisemitic attacks by Muslims, including the many attacks on Jewish students by their Muslim classmates. Second, Germans need to know that these antisemitic acts are not confined to “extremists,” but are committed by mainstream Muslims following verses in the Qur’an. Third, Chancellor Merkel, in order to better serve those she presumes to protect and instruct, needs to be informed about the antisemitic passages in the Qur’an and hadith. She must be constantly reminded of the contents of the Qur’an, and forced eventually to acknowledge not jut the antisemitism of “some Muslims,” but the immutable antisemitism of Islam itself. Fourth, the most effective way to inform Merkel and the public about this matter would be for members of the Bundestag to use that chamber as a bully pulpit from which to read out those antisemitic passages. Such a platform would help the subject stay in the public’s eye, whether on the front pages of national newspapers, on television and radio news programs, or on YouTube.
Learning about the textual sources of Islamic antisemitism is necessary, a condition precedent, to taking actions that will reduce the danger of attacks on Jews in Germany. I suggested above that the best way to decrease these attacks is through deception — after all, “war is deceit,” said Muhammad — utilizing small police units of men trained in combat, and who, wearing their kippahs, can patrol in Muslim neighborhoods, where, if attacked, they can give their attackers a sound thrashing before arresting them. That won’t eliminate, but it will discourage and confuse would-be attackers. We need many more people wearing kippahs, not fewer, with some of them being policemen or similar personnel serving as deliberate decoys, of the kind Muslim attackers will learn, to their sorrow, are not to be tangled with.
Most of all, Merkel’s political opponents have to keep up the pressure on her to demonstrate that she has learned her lesson — better late than never — about Islamic antisemitism. The Franco-German dress designer Karl Lagerfeld described her failure quite clearly: “You cannot kill millions of Jews and then take in millions of their worst enemies afterwards, even if there are decades [between the two events],” the German fashion designer told a French television chat show. This dress designer exhibits far greater moral sense than does the German chancellor.
Perhaps this “Berlin Wears The Kippah” event will be only the first of many where Germans, in these demonstrations of mass solidarity with Jews threatened by Muslims, will show they can no longer be silenced by charges of “Islamophobia.” Perhaps, too, Merkel, chastened by what she will finally have been forced by circumstances to learn about Islam, will end once and for all her mad policy of allowing massive numbers of Muslim immigrants into the country. Germany owes its Jews freedom from fear. It owes its Muslim migrants nothing.

Messianic Jews want their people to move home so destroying the countries of the white Goyim will do just that, force you all to go to Israel…so you can all be in one place and suddenly your savior is supposed to come back..but instead you will be either nuked or invaded. Nothing like having the Arabs more hated people in one place right?

So you are blaming the jihad on the Jews???
Craaaaazy.

Just forget about Josef Schuster. He has allied with the Muslims again and again. You will hardly hear from him that the modern anti-semitismus in Germany is not home-bread but based on the traditional jew-hate of Islam which invades Germany along with the Muslim jihadies.
Schuster agitates against the AfD, which is the only German party that fights against Islam in Germany. He also agitates against the indegene Germans without remembering that Germany has been the second-popular destination for Jewish immigrations before the Muslim influx began haunting Germany. But the Jewish organisations in Germany ignore these coherences.
Merkel refers to right-wing antisemitism, but she has no examples. The only so-called right-wingers who are antisemitic are neo-national-socialists – and their name shows that they are lefties.

No Muslim organisation attended the “Berlin Wears The Kippah” event.
Nothing more to say, it speaks for itself.

But they attended the Kippah-demonstration in Cologne that took place at the same time. The organizers there celebrated the pro-jewish views of Islam the Muslim speaker there claimed to exist. I can not understand why so many Jewish organisations in Europe twin up with the invading Muslims.

” I can not understand why so many Jewish organisations in Europe twin up with the invading Muslims.”
You might say the same thing of the leaders of many *Christian* organisations.
Notably the Islamophile Pope Francis.
Partly I think it is because they are *deceived*.
The Muslim pantomime of victimhood has *fooled* them.
It was Christians, and pagans, and Jews, who took pity on mohammed and his companions, and let them into Yathrib, after the Meccans had had enough of them and chased them out of dodge. A decision that was, quite simply, disastrous. Mohammed must have spun a very convincing sob story.
And Christians and Jews, because they are reared wihin a culture of *truth-telling*, of respect for truth, tend to take Muslim sob stories at face value… and so they are deceived, until, very often, it is too late.

All true, DDA.
jewdog says
I think that at some subconscious level, Angela Merkel and her allies want anti-Semites in Germany. They can then tell themselves that they are very broad-minded in welcoming immigrants from the most uncivilized cultures, while knowing deep down that they are fueling Germany’s ancient hatred. They will not only harm Jews, but themselves in the long run.

It is all very, very sad, and also infuriating.

dumbledoresarmy says
“(Or have lovers of Freedom and God-fearing Christian wear kippahs in solidarity…..”.
Both should do both.
Jews *and* Christians (and indeed all other sensible Islamo-informed Infidels in Germany) could do *both*.
WEar the kippah – or the Star of David – and in the case of Christians, the Cross, which is anathema to Muslims (its public display is forbidden to Dhimmis) – but ALSO be prepared to act swiftly and effectively in legitimate self-defence.
And, as Hugh Fitzgerald has pointed out in his essay, the German *law enforcement* should be engaging in ‘sting ops’ involving persons – wearing kippahs – who are not quite so helpless and defenceless as they might appear, such that when the mohammedans – as they *will* – attempt to take that tempting ‘Jewish’ ‘bait’… WHAM, down comes the ten-tonne hammer.
For that matter, the *French* – and the Dutch – and the English – and any number of others now afflicted by aggressive mohammedans and ‘no-go’ zones – should be doing ‘sting ops’ too. Apparently-defenceless and naive unislamically dressed females; persons walking their dogs; apparently-defenceless ‘gay couples’; persons carrying alcohol; persons wearing crosses or carrying bibles; and apparently-Jewish persons. All of these could be.. not quite what they appear, and the Muslims should find that when they attempt to grab that girl/ bash that Jew/ bash that Christian/ bash that ‘gay couple’/ punish that bearer-of-alcohol or that walker-of-dog, that their intended victim has great big iron *teeth* and lots and lots of heavily-armed *friends*.
After about twenty instances in which mohammedan mobsters, having seized or tried to seize the bait, have received severe damage “resisting arrest” and have found themselves strip-searched, and intensively interrogated (and sniffed from head to toe by police dogs trained to detect traces of illegal drugs and explosives and the precursors thereof) and their homes – and the mosques they or their families attend/ed – suddenly raided and searched, etc, and unpleasant and rigorous and detailed inquiries made into criminal histories, and welfare fraud, and immigration-and-identity fraud, etc, etc, etc, and dna samples cross-matched against unsolved crimes database… all of this followed by prosecutions, and imprisonments, and deportations… I think the enthusiasm of allah’s enforcers aka the allah gangsters might diminish somewhat.

Of course this shocking state of affairs is a mere foretaste of what is to come as Moslems increase in numbers and power.
The persecution (and eventual murder) of Jews, Christians, and gay people, will become routine. All this is mandated in the Koran (but few people want to know).
Terra Nova says
Mrs. Merkel should be send out on the streets with a kipper on, so she can experience first hand what it is like. And especially Germans, who killed 6.000.000 jews during the 2nd world war and why? because they were afraid of the jews.
And really, Muslims you don’t have that crazy idea, that you can eliminate all the jews and Christians, are you? It shows that you don’t know anything, but really nothing about how a world should be ruined, but our time is coming and you will be sorry.
You can only be glad that the Christians and Jews have a civilised consciousness to only use words, like it should be in a civilised society. But I would advice you not to push it too far.
And Mrs. Merkel, you sold out your own citizens. You are a traitor, and so your citizens are.. After all you did in the 2nd world war, you were the purest racists existed, still are and I think, always will be.

Nationalism seems to be turning the tide and people just have to keep up the pressure and prove who and whose values are in charge. If newcomers don’t like it they can gladly have a one-way ticket out. Peaceful and spiritually coherent Western countries don’t need the trouble and expense of incoherent elements that refuse to discard the malice woven into the very fabric of their “perfect” creed. Our money should be far more deservedly spent in encouraging our own youth and helping them to drop their toys and go out and thrive and responsibly multiply. Globalism is yesterday’s news.
In Germany it seems the CSU (Christian Social Union), is becoming the alternative “sister wing” of Merkel’s CDU – for instance, they oppose Merkel’s plan to take in 10,000 North African and Syrian immigrants. Even is Nationalist parties like the AfD don’t win, we nonetheless find their policies DO influence the winning parties. Dr. Steve Turley is an interesting man to hear from – he says “there is a paradigm shift”:
Bavaria Orders Christian Crosses to be Displayed on Govt Buildings!!!

The CSU does not truely change. In Oktober there are votes in Bavaria and the AfD could do a good job. Therefore the CSU pretends to change in order to cut the ground from under the AfD´s feet. Seehofer and Söder want to stay in power, that is all.
commonsense says
Let’s face it – the only REAL solution is to throw the Muslims out of Western Europe, and forbid, for all time, their re-entry. Any measures short of this will fail, given the high Muslim birth rate, the deep-seated fanaticism of so many of them, and the nonexistent possibility of any liberalization of Islam, given the immutability of the Qur’an, the Perfect Book, revealed to the Prophet through Jibril, Allah’s representative. The continued presence, and growing numbers, of Muslims in Europe will culminate in its utter destruction, with its heritage of art, music, and literature meeting a fate similar to that of the Colossus of Rhodes – destroyed as examples of worthless jahiliyya.
