Stark-Watzinger: Universities should use their domiciliary rights in the event of anti-Semitic incidents
"They have domestic authority and they have to use it," said the minister. "I would like to encourage university management to do this consistently." It is unacceptable that "certain universities become no-go areas for Jewish students".
At the end of November, the Federal Association of Research and Information Centers on Anti-Semitism (Rias) stated that the number of anti-Semitic incidents in Germany had increased dramatically since the Hamas attack on Israel. According to the report, Jews were increasingly affected by anti-Semitic incidents in everyday places such as their neighborhood, their workplace or at universities.
According to Rias, incidents in the form of anti-Israeli propaganda, anti-Semitic graffiti and flyers increased there. From October 7 to November 9, Rias registered a total of 37 anti-Semitic incidents at German universities.
On October 7, hundreds of Hamas fighters invaded Israel and committed atrocities, mainly against civilians. According to Israeli reports, around 1,200 people were killed in Israel and around 240 people were taken hostage.
In response, Israel began massively bombing targets in the Gaza Strip from the air and on the ground. According to Hamas, which cannot be independently verified, more than 15,000 people have been killed in the Palestinian territory since then, including more than 6,000 children and young people.
