German Jews Warned Not To Wear Yarmulkes After Anti-Semitic Attack From Muslim Immigrant

On Tuesday, Josef Schuster, head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, told German Jews to avoid wearing yarmulkes on the streets after an Arab Israeli was assaulted for wearing a kippa just days ago in a social experiment. The suspect beat the Arab Israeli with his belt while shouting “Yahudi” – “Jew” in Arabic. The suspect in the assault is a 19-year-old Syrian refugee “of Palestinian origin.” Schuster explained that people should stop “showing themselves openly with a kippah in a big-city setting in Germany, and wear a baseball cap or something else to cover their head instead.” According to the Associated Press:

Schuster suggested three years ago that Jews shouldn’t wear skullcaps in areas with large Muslim populations. But he stressed there’s increasing anti-Semitic sentiment among non-migrants.

The rise of anti-Semitic attacks throughout Europe in line with a massive increase in Muslim immigration has been obvious for years. According to a June 2017 study from Johannes Due Enstand of the University of Oslo, “Available data on perpetrators suggest that individuals of Muslim background stand out among perpetrators of anti-Semitic violence in Western Europe. … Attitude surveys corroborate this picture in so far as anti-Semitic attitudes are far more widespread among Muslims than among the general population in Western Europe.”

This is one of those politically incorrect facts that gets ignored so often in the European Left’s desire to speak glowingly of “diversity” thanks to mass immigration from the Middle East — the selection of Muslim populations over Jewish ones. The city of Malmo, Sweden has become essentially a no-go zone for Jews — as Paulina Neuding wrote in The New York Times last year:

Today, entering a synagogue anywhere in Sweden usually requires going through security checks, including airport-like questioning. At times of high alert, police officers with machine guns guard Jewish schools. Children at the Jewish kindergarten in Malmo play behind bulletproof glass. Not even funerals are safe from harassment. … A spokesman for Malmo’s Jewish community put the situation starkly. You “don’t want to display the Star of David around your neck,” he said. Or as spokesman for the Goteborg synagogue put it, “It’s a constant battle to live a normal life, and not to give in to the threats, but still be able to feel safe.”

Fully 51% of all anti-Semitic attacks in Sweden were perpetrated by Muslims, as opposed to 5% perpetrated by right-wing extremists and 25% perpetrated by Left-wing extremists.

The European press are determined to ignore this problem, even as it grows radically — even as elderly Holocaust survivors are thrown from windows or stabbed to death, even as Jewish supermarkets are targeted, even as non-Jews are attacked for wearing yarmulkes. Political correctness trumps public safety and honest discussions about value differences. No wonder Europe is in trouble.
