Several thousand people rallied in support of Israel in Berlin on Sunday as the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed to stamp out a resurgence of anti-Semitic incidents in the wake of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
"Every single attack on Jews, on Jewish institutions, is a disgrace for Germany. Every single attack fills me with shame and anger," he said. There must be no turning a blind eye "when Jews are not safe on Germany's streets, when Stars of David are smeared on homes, when firebombs are thrown at synagogues", Scholz said.
Dessau is just 50 kilometres from Halle, where a gunman killed two people after failing to storm a synagogue on Yom Kippur in October 2019.The Central Council of Jews in Germany puts the number of practising Jews in the country at around 100,000 and the number of synagogues at around 100.Anti-Semitic acts have increased sharply in the country amid the latest turmoil in the Middle East, according to the Federal Association of Research and Information Centres on Anti-Semitism .
"It is the first time since Nazi rule that this is happening again in Germany. It reminds my community very much of that terrible time," he said.
