After Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel, a sharp increase in anti-Semitic incidents was also recorded in Germany. However, this did not increase the emigration of Jews, according to the Central Council.
The President of the Central Council of Jews, Josef Schuster, is not observing any emigration of Jews from Germany despite the increasing number of anti-Semitic incidents. When asked whether Jewish community members were turning their backs on Germany, Schuster told the “Rheinische Post” (Saturday): “No, I definitely don’t see Jewish people emigrating from Germany.” There are always people who move to Israel for religious reasons, “but we cannot determine this for political reasons – in contrast to France, where there is a clear exodus of Jews.”
Since Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, a sharp increase in anti-Semitic incidents has also been reported in Germany, including hostility, insults, the marking of residential buildings with Stars of David and an attempted arson attack on a Berlin synagogue. Anti-Israel slogans were shouted and posters were displayed during demonstrations.
