Germany: Muslims spit on rabbi in anti-Semitic attack, UK’s Daily Mail blames the “far right”

Aug 1, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Toward the end of this article, after warning people about anti-Semitism, this Daily Mail article starts talking about the “far right” Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, trying to prove that AfD is anti-Semitic. There was absolutely no reason whatsoever for the Mail (the worst paper in the Western world) to bring up AfD in this article, as the anti-Semitic attackers here were not AfD members, but almost certainly Muslims and likely migrants. The bias is outrageous and the irony bitter, since the attackers here are precisely the kind of people that AfD is trying to keep out of Germany because of their manifest refusal to adopt Western values. The Daily Mail, instead of discussing Islamic anti-Semitism as it should, tries to pin this crime on the only group in Germany that is fighting against Islamic anti-Semitism.

“Rabbi is spat at by ‘two men speaking Arabic’ in anti-Semitic attack while on his way home from synagogue with his son in Berlin,” by Tim Stickings, Mailonline, July 31, 2019:

German police are investigating after a prominent Berlin rabbi was spat at on his way home from a synagogue.

Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal said he was insulted and sworn at by two Arabic-speaking men in Wilmersdorf, a district of Berlin, on Friday night.

He was walking past an apartment block with his son when the two men spat at him from inside the building, authorities say.

Police said today they are treating the incident as a religiously-motivated crime and are currently looking for suspects….

Community leader Gideon Joffe hailed Mr Teichtal as a ‘preacher of love’ and said he was an advocate for good relations between religious groups….

Calling on plain-clothes police to help escort worshippers to and from the synagogue, he added: ‘This incident shows how important it is to reinforce the fight against anti-Semitism with further practical measures.’

A mass influx of mostly Muslim refugees and migrants to Germany from 2015 drove the rise of the far-right and anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which since late 2017 has been the biggest opposition group in parliament.

Leading AfD members, aside from railing against Islam and multiculturalism, have also made comments that play down the Holocaust….

    Spitting on people is the first step. If they get away with it, it will only get worse.
    And when decent people don’t feel safe, they will go elsewhere if possible. Then the whole society suffers.

      Spitting is a form of assault denoting hate. Muslims feel they are ‘pure’ (e.g. ‘Pak’istan) and that disbelieving kafirs are ‘dirty’ like the sweat of pigs or hair of dogs.

      Can’t imagine what this rabbi, who preaches love, must have felt like. Brings tears to my eyes. The humiliation, the despair !

      And what does Merkel feel like when reports like this land on her desk every day ?

      Nothing, apparently. The opposite of love is indifference. A catastrophe for the German people, Jews in particular.

    Typical lefty press –whenever Muslims do anything bad – they blame the ” far right ” when a migrant kills another native – they make concerts against Nazis !

    If you possibly can, go to the Daily Mail article and leave a comment saying exactly what Robert has written that the AFD is the only group in Germany that is fighting against Islamic anti-Semitism, and it’s disgusting that the DM slurs the group in this way.

    I ‘spit’ on the The Daily Mail for its total lack of journalistic integrity.

    ‘…the worst paper in the Western world…’

    Yes, a clear gold medalist in a very wide field of miserable propaganda rags.

    Germany: Muslims spit on rabbi in anti-Semitic attack, UK’s Daily Mail blames the “far right”
    “Rabbi is spat at by ‘two men speaking Arabic’ in anti-Semitic attack while on his way home from synagogue with his son in Berlin,” by Tim Stickings. Haven’t heard of AfD members speaking arabic. Shanty, absolutely shanty reporting, nice smear though. Who would believe this daily immoral mail article?

      The Daily Mail’s stance is typical of the outlook of very many people in the UK.

      The chief offender being the distorted State Broadcaster and opinion-former the BBC, who now automatically refer to anyone not of the Left as “Far Right”, eg. Salvini in Italy.

      In interviews, ANYONE from the Right is contemptuously attacked by the BBC as if by rabid dogs.

    Control the narrative and you control the debate.

    Deflect the blame or associate the crime with a group other than the one that actually committed it and you trivialize the hatred of the act, while demonizing an innocent party.

    Good strategies. Ones that have been perfected by the globalist left and Islam.

    Their over use of it shows that they are feeling threatened.

  9. Lydia Church says

    The media’s approach to the narrative:

    Whatever happens, and how much evil is done by muslim terrorists or antifa, etc., blame the ‘far right,’ and the brainwashed and emotionally charged and mentally manipulated masses will not only believe it, but shake their fists in the air over it!

    Why is that – why are they the biggest opposition group in the Parliament? Could it be a reaction to the chaos and lawlessness caused by muslim migrants?

    So now it is clear that Muslims are part of the ‘Far Right’ whatever that is. Certainly the Qura’n outdoes ‘Mein Kampf’ in Anti-Semitism by about 9% content to 7% content.

    …………………….

    More ludicrous obfuscation.

    The antisemtic crimes in Germany did not change by % since the early 70‘s but are just covered by government and ignored by press: 60% muslim, 30% left & 10% right. (numbers proofed by different sources as the security for local synagogue) the 60% are untouchable, the 30% are their own left friends, so focus on 10%. Regional police once informed, that attacks on jews have to be reported as committed by right! all is said

    Once a Nazi government, always the same!

    The Daily Mail blamed the AfD for the attacks on the Jews. Well, at least the Daily Mail didn’t blame the Jews for the attacks on themselves.
    Hermann Goering blamed KristallNacht on the Jews and made them pay for the damages.
    So the Daily Mail is a step up from the Nazis.
