This chapter discusses the rise of the far right in Germany and its impact on the Jewish community. It explores the shift in attitude among Jewish community leaders, who are now expressing concerns about immigrants, and examines the connection between the rise of the far right and the wave of migration in 2015 and 2016. The chapter also delves into the issue of anti-Semitism, the racial profiling of certain groups by the police, and the attempts to criminalize anti-Semitism through changes in laws and classification of certain terms and demonstrations.
Featuring Emily Dische-Becker on how Germany became attached to a wildly narcissistic anti-antisemitism and Israeli proxy nationalism that have made it one of the most anti-Palestinian governments on earth.
