German Jewish leader: Threshold for violence against Jews is falling

One year after the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, the leading organization for Jews in Germany is warning of increasing threats to Jewish life in the country. "The inhibition threshold for inciting and carrying out violence against Jews is falling," Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, told dpa. "This is a shocking development that we cannot simply accept." Fighters for the Palestinian Islamist Hamas militia and other groups attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.
