Salzborn: "Massive anti-Semitic radicalization"
According to Berlin's anti-Semitism commissioner, Samuel Salzborn, more and more people are becoming radicalized in an anti-Semitic way. "We have a massive anti-Semitic radicalization, we feel it at all levels, we feel it above all in questions of the protection of Jewish and Israeli institutions, which are extremely threatened," said the social scientist on Radioeins of rbb on the commemoration day of the November pogroms against Jews in Nazi Germany 85 years ago. Comprehensive protection of Jewish life is not possible, Salzborn said, "because the anti-Semites ultimately escalate massively, glorify violence and are in fact prepared to use violence."
The number of anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli acts has risen sharply in Germany and worldwide since October 7 - the day the Islamist Hamas attacked Israel.
In light of this escalating situation, there's a growing concern about conflicts erupting due to extremist views, especially within the realms of religion, such as anti-Semitic sentiment towards Judaism. Moreover, the rise in anti-Semitic acts following the Hamas' attack on Israel highlights the interconnectedness of global conflicts and extremist ideologies.
