Hate From Childhood On

Millions of immigrants are importing glowing antisemitism to Germany from their homelands

Even now the hate among Arab immigrants for anything Jewish is a serious problem. With hundreds of thousands of immigrants from countries where antisemitism is quasi national doctrine, hostilities and uprisings are new dimension of threat.

But Germany can be happy. The immigrants from the Orient bring more common features along than many believe – for example, antisemitism. If things went according to much acclaimed US historian and sociologist Daniel Goldhagen, the Germans, after all, have Jew hate in their blood. A programmed “code” drove them to the Holocaust.

While these crude theses posited by Goldhagen are written off as coarse – and ultimately racist – nonsense, Arab antisemitism is very solidly threatening Europe’s Jewish population. It has already been long present. The 500,000 members of the Jewish communities in France are especially affected. Besides the everyday hostilities by the around 3.7 million French Moslems, bloody attacks constantly arise. One day after the assault by the IS terrorists on the Charlie Hebdo satire magazine at the beginning of 2015, islamist Amedy Coulibaly killed four Jews in a French supermarket. In 2012, Mohamed Merah wreaked a bloodbath on a Jewish school in Toulouse. The fear meanwhile is driving more and more Jews out of the country. 8000 emigrated last year to Israel.

But Germany’s 120,000 Jews again see themselves in threat of life and limb – more than 70 years after the end of the Third Reich. Rabbi Daniel Alter was brutally beaten up in the presence of his six-year-old daughter in 2012. He answered “yes” to the question, “Are you Jew?”. It was certainly apparent to the perpetrators because he wore a kippa, a Jewish headcovering. The police presume the assailants to be either Arab or otherwise Muslim.

In an angry and desperate letter to Angela Merkel and the then president of the Central Council of Jews, a female Jewish teacher described to Dieter Graumann her situation in a Berlin school in 2014. He was to educate children who were there from uneducable levels – quite a few came from Arab families. A likewise female Jewish colleague was regularly called from behind in the street, “Die, Jew” because she once inadvertently confessed her faith more or less. She herself doesn’t dare disclose to her pupils’ the Israeli names given to her children. If she would touch on the subject of Israel or Judaism in her instruction, she would immediately have a small intifada in the classroom.

Three young Palestinians wanted to make a large intifada out of the “small” intifada in 2014. They tried to set a synagogue in Wuppertal on fire with glass bottles and diesel fuel. They were caught when one of the perpetrators filmed the deployment of the fire department with his cellphone and commented enthusiastically in Arabic about the scene. He then put the police on the track of the others. A court of lay assessors sentenced the three at the beginning of last year to confinement because it – totally unimaginable to trial observers – didn’t recognize any antisemitic background. The case is now being tried again. The measure of punishment for a case of serious arson was too light for the district attorney’s office.

The mild judgments, however, fit the general attitude toward the thought processes of Moslem immigrants – no matter whether they were already born in Germany or are still just speculating on a residence permit with hundreds of thousands in the asylum shelters. In the fabled world of the culture of welcome, the antisemitism of those arriving has no place. The roles here are clearly divided with childlike simplicity here. Thankfulness and goodness are to be carried in the hearts of the immigrants, but nothing as repulsive as Jew hate. It must after all be held back from the enigmatic Germans, those stiff-necked and contemptible fellow countrymen from which one can separate himself with his “Refugees are welcome” signs.

In the candy-colored Disneyland of compassion, a thick, gooey layer of sugar coating covers over the truth. Only on occasion does it shine out from under – for example when Salomon Korn, president of the Jewish community in Frankfurt assails apparently embarassingly touched Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière at an event to finally take the concerns of the Jewish communities seriously. Several asylum seekers came from countries where the hostility toward Jews and Israel are part of state doctrine. It would take several generations to integrate such culture-hostile people into German society.

The hate against anything Jewish has already been injected into them from childhood on – for example, a few years ago on television with the Syrian afternoon series “Al-Ash Shatat.” In 29 episodes, the antiseptic concoction put the blame on the Jews for nearly all catastrophes of modern time, among others the killing of archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 in Sarajevo and the dropping of the atom bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. In the credits for each episode, the Syrian Defense Ministry, Education Ministry and the Damascus police are thanked for their friendly support. Even now some of the episodes can still be seen on the YouTube Internet portal. Thousands have already watched them there.

What indeed remains unmentioned in “Al-Ash Shatat” is an especially grim chapter in history: The first pogrom against Jews on European soil took place in 1066 in Spain’s islamically governed Granada. More than 1500 Jewish families were massacred then by the Moslem population.
