Some notes on the arson attack on the synagogue of Worms, two weeks ago.
OF MATHEUS HAGEDORNY
about the same time, when Germany began to grieve for Michael Ballack's ankle, Unknown tried in Worms, a synagogue burned down. Although the perpetrators were nine fires sparked simultaneously nothing to chance, could avert the local fire department by their timely use of the destruction. "As soon as you are not the rest are Palestinians, we will give you no peace," it said in German bumpy order to justify the attack on some notes, which were designed near the crime scene. The official reaction to the attack were from politically correct. The Rhineland-Palatinate Premier Kurt Beck said about the manner of a "despicable act" and had 10,000 euros bounty , launch, and finally the offender had committed a "transgression". Police are investigating. And the public lost interest in the incident before it actually came.
hatred of Jews earlier
Even the First Crusade in 1096, when the Germans were called to the conquest of Jerusalem, they fulfilled their Christian duty by a Heimatliches pogrom, which also drew the Worms synagogue affected. Fifty years and a crusade repeated later, the arson. Until the legal equality of the Jews, which was completed in 1792 by the annexation of Worms' to the French Republic, saw the Jewish Community in the city two other excesses of the anti-Jewish mobs.
your reason to hope that the civil traffic conditions ultimately lead to the elimination of anti-Semitism, or at least the madness would privatize smashed in National Socialism. During the November pogrom of 1938 burned the synagogue, and the "King City" was to 1942 "Jews." After the unconditional surrender of Germany built the Worms survivors of the Shoah a prayer place again. When it was re-opened in 1961, the militant anti-Semitism less than two years earlier "call German: Jews out" with the slogan at the Cologne synagogue reported (Source: Tribune, 1 / 2010, p. 13ff.).
anti-Semitism today
Who in the Federal Republic now wants the Jews to eradicate from the German national body to the neck, is usually outside the permitted by the police. The Worms detectives want to stop not yet interprate too much anti-Semitism, because "whether and to what extent actual Palestinian interests involved, it can be said not currently. Probably it is an unfortunate formulation of an innocent police officer, in the press release is not recognized, at least; that anti-Jewish actions are something that not only the neo-Nazis, but also the Palästinensertum is in place.
Minister President Beck the other hand, knows that if he knows nothing else, what a German is of historical responsibility. He made no bones about it, frankly outraged about the crime and know that arson is against Jewish places of worship a "transgression". But where a boundary is passable, there is also tolerance. Beck, who knows even before Obama the bugbear of the "moderate Taliban" constructed, that it is very annoying for many, the clean boundary between the visible blurring "criticism of Israel" and the murderous anti-Semitism. Of his words, that the risk of fire Palestine Solidarity has broken a barrier, as well as the hazardous location embarrassment that beat the practice of "criticism of Israel" over the traces and can bring Jews in Germany in critical condition.
In contrast to the poor Ballack and the future of the German World Cup team, it brought the fire to Worms only to a marginal note in the media. It was the President of the Central Council of Jews, Charlotte Knobloch reserved to criticize the failure to be an arson scandal in the "Nibelungen town."

The "Jew among the states"
As German and German to know, are two different things, it is difficult to say whether the perpetrators of the Islamic, the neo-Nazi or even come from a relevant environment. In this country, and contemporary popular everywhere in any case, the view expressed in bad language motivation. Because the State of Israel allowed the Jews to have to be understood not only as a helpless object of history, the global anti-Semitism is now fixed on the screen called "Palestinians" and the precise blood guzzling "child murderer Israel": the "Jews among the states "(Leon Poliakov).
Had the Nazis used to have proclaimed, the "rootless" Jews will never be able to produce their own state, hate the present-day German ideologues - whether her lament now Islamic, nationalist and human rights comes along - the Jewish state for its embattled existence . The "criticism of Israel" crowd must show that the history of the Holocaust and the Middle East conflict are inseparable. That the Arab Palestine in 1948 by the Islamic murderers and SS-group leader retired, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini proclaimed, is to experience all around, it will only appear do not know.
The respectable anti-Semitism called "criticism of Israel" is like the outlawed a sealed against any contradictory experience delusional system for the dead Jews but has much compassion left free, the living Jews and defensible but mistrusts. The Shoah is practically no more separate from the (holy) war against Israel as the modern anti-Semitism from anti-Zionism. Was it before the destruction of the Mosaic world rooted conspiracy against the peoples of the earth, has now one of the Israel lobby and their henchmen on life support, has become a Jewish state be wiped crimes against international law and human rights from the ground. With two popular hallucinations are then very real Jews brought to their lives.
The limits of German law
upset in this climate that the recent attack outside the affected Jews hardly anyone. Although the 82 000-strong town on the Jewish prayer house was soon a hundred-strong vigil, there is no reason for sedation. The violence against the Palestinians friendly Worms synagogue is obviously not suitable, as opposed to smaller events, kicking off a nationwide wave of anti-fascist protest. For experienced people are missing right front against swastikas, Nazi pigs caught or similar tangible. What remains just curious, eloquent silence.
would
In Germany - in the absence of a non-Jewish, anti-Zionism and critical public for Israel - if all the rule of law that could curb the rage against Jews effectively. But that barrier is crumbling rapidly. As Israel's war against Hamas in January 2009 on the occasion of the greatest anti-Semitic manifestations in Europe since 1945, the Duisburg police bowed to a "israel critical" rally in front of the radical Muslim mob by broke into a private dwelling, a most window attached to remove Israeli flag. As a Palestinian A few days later security guards of the Berlin synagogue attacked with an iron bar, was the assessment of the Berlin police, have this "apparently his displeasure over the Israeli actions in Gaza to express" want. And in February this year, the Cologne public prosecutor to certify the anti-Israeli "Cologne Wailing Wall" that a Palestinian child-eating Jew - sorry Israeli - no anti-Semitic caricature, but because of the lack of hook nose is a legitimate criticism of Israel.
You can currently only speculate whether the perpetrators of Worms from the recently founded NPD local club are the anti-Semitic hate campaign of the local Millî-Görüş or Ahmadiyya community has borne fruit, or perhaps some readers Zionist leaves the world awaited court against the "Jew among the states" could not wait. It is clear that the "critical of Israel" witch hunt well in various environments other soil and makes the Jews in Germany long ago is no peace.
The signs are obvious that criticism of Israel has become the accepted currency in order to restore the anti-Semitism in the Federal Republic of moral and then unloaded to strike at everything Jewish. And the public largely ignored the stop signal of Worms, the militant critics of Israel "everywhere, whether red, green or brown, that it can go on with it.
