Intelligence Report Exposes Anti-Semitism among German Muslim Groups
(Jerusalem Post) Benjamin Weinthal - A previously classified German intelligence report on Wednesday revealed widespread anti-Semitism among Muslim organizations in the country, Suddeutsche Zeitung reported. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), the equivalent to the Israel Security Agency, noted that a Syrian teacher in Solingen declared during a lesson on June 4, 2018, that "all Jews belong in the gas chamber." 700 cases of anti-Semitic events with a suspected Islamist background were included in the report. The head of BfV, Thomas Haldenwang, said hostility to Jews is "represented by practically all noteworthy Islamist organizations that are active in Germany." The report documented 20 anti-Semitic acts of violence by Muslim perpetrators.
