Official German government statistics on rising antisemitism came under criticism on Wednesday, as several observers charged that the data was based on the incorrect assumption that far right activists are to blame for the vast bulk of anti-Jewish incidents in the country — despite evidence from Jewish victims indicating that Muslims influenced by Islamist and antisemitic beliefs are behind an increasing number of these outrages.

Interior Minister Horst Seehofer revealed at a press conference on Tuesday that antisemitic crimes in Germany rose by 20 percent in 2018. “This is a development that we have to confront, especially in this country,” Seehofer said, in a reference to Germany’s Nazi past.
But some reporters questioned the claim of both Seehofer and German federal police chief Holger Münch that far right activists were behind 90 percent of the antisemitic offenses.
In response, both men insisted that the police practice of automatically categorizing as “far right” those antisemitic crimes where the motives were unclear made practical sense — “otherwise there we would be the accusation that we are blind to the right,” Seehofer explained.

How long will These officials keep Downplaying Islamic Involvement; till they’re placed in cages to be burned alive in public or down on their knees waiting for the executioner to behead them??? Then it’s too late.
Jihadis destroy church everywhere they go because as per koran its their religious duty to do it !
you cannot win unless there is organised legal /political pushback.
And that cannot happen without more ppl funding , supporting , sharing real news that expose the truth that MSM will not cover
Email your reps , participate in street rallies that oppose left/jihadi menace
But Most conservatives, patriots expect someone else will do it for them !
You are oh so right. The MSM has been politicized / weaponized and the politicians (at least most of them) will not listen to the warnings. Street rallies that oppose the left/jihadi menace could soon be illegal if CAIR has it’s way. I’ve seen that one of the first things moslems do is to silence all opposition to islum.
Media is corrupt and dumb voters still support these scums out of stupidity and ignorance.
That is why the left /jihadi are actively taking over media and shutting down patriots who resist and expose them.
Exactly. Does anybody know that the number of murdered Jews by Nazi and their collaborators were decreased to 6 Millions artificially, in order to make it less shocking for public (like 6 Millions is not enough for them)?
In fact many documents tell that it’s at least double. The published numbers are based mostly on the books from the concentration camps. But who counted the victims of the mass murders on the occupied territories of Poland, Ukraine, Belorussia, Moldova, Russia, Hungary, Lithuania, Litva, Estonia? US and Europe turned the blind eye on Nazi crimes against Jews. And now they are trying to whitewash it. “Never again” is now!

Peace is an ideal we have derived from the observation that there have been intervals between wars.

The leadership, police and others of authority in Germany will remain mute and passive regarding Jew-Hatred by Muslims. The Muslim scourge serves one purpose, for the above mentioned authorities, to perpetrate the evildoings upon Jews so the authorities will not bloody their hands.It is a confederacy of evildoers from Islam, the politicians, the mainstream media and every antisemite not only in Germany but the West’s faux-Democracies. America’s so-called Democratic Party is a prime example of the Nazification/Islamization afflicting the West.
