According to the Spiegel and many other sources, anti-Semitic incidents and even violence in German schools are on the rise to such an extent that the authorities are worried. Jewish school children are being assaulted and terrorized on their way to school. Many have had to move to Jewish schools. Even regular teachers are being called "Jews" as an insult. The rise in quite clear and remarkable compared to just last year.
The new anti-Semites are not only the traditional extreme right-wing activists. A new phenomena of children of "non-German origin", in other words children of Turkish and Arab origin terrorizing their Jewish counterparts in regular schools has become common-place. Things that were a definite taboo in the post-war German society are being expressed openly by these youngsters.
Politicians don't seem to know what exactly to do. A Member of the Parliament, Peter Trapp from the Christian Democratic Party submitted an official query about the issue but is still waiting for a reply complaining that this seems to take unusually long. One cannot help but wonder if it would take this long if the perpetrators of the incidents were only right-wing. Might it be that because of the Muslim involvement the issue is considered too sensitive? Are the Germans sitting on a potential pile of dynamite?
Meanwhile police have to escort some harassed children to their classes...
