Anti-Semitic incidents in Germany nearly doubled in 2024, fueled by the Gaza conflict, prompting fear among Jews and warnings from officials.
Jewish life in Germany has deteriorated significantly over the past two years due to a surge in anti-Semitism linked to the Gaza conflict, with anti-Semitic incidents nearly doubling to nearly 8,600 in 2024, according to Germany’s anti-Semitism commissioner Felix Klein and Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
Jews now fear wearing religious symbols and sometimes order food under false names to avoid harassment.
Officials stressed that while protests against Israel’s military actions are permitted, they must not incite hatred or violence against Jewish people, calling the rise in anti-Semitism a threat to Germany’s core values and the “Never again” promise from the Holocaust era.
