Stefan Kramer, Head of the Office for the Protection of the Thuringian Constitution, said the following in an interview with the newspaper: handelsblatt About the increasing danger of attacks on Jewish and Israeli institutions in Germany due to the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
He said radical supporters of the Palestinian Hamas movement in Germany “can no longer limit themselves to demonstrations, hate speech and isolated physical attacks, but have the potential to carry out specific attacks against Jewish and Israeli institutions and people.”
According to Kramer, amid events in the Middle East, anti-Semitic slogans calling for retaliation are becoming increasingly popular among anti-Semitic figures in the Arab world. He also believes that “new and more intense actions of other Islamists who have not given up their fight against the West” are possible. Kramer stated that this could happen under the influence of the terror of the Palestinian Hamas movement.
“Germany is clearly seen there as the enemy of Muslims,” he said.
Kramer said Hamas is once again calling for open violence against Jews, Jewish restaurants, stores and synagogues around the world.
“Some Palestinians are openly and brazenly calling for a kind of Kristallnacht 2.0,” he said.
