Glasnogovornik vlade je rekao da kancelarka i cijela vlada najstrože osuđuju antisemitske izjave koje su učinjeni u pro-Palestinskim i anti-Izraelskim demonstracijama u Njemačkoj. Ovi događaji su napad na slobodu i toleranciju i pokušaj da se uzdrmaju osnove slobodnog i demokratskog sistema.Mi ne možemo i nećemo to tolerirati.

Streiter further stressed that any violence against Jewish people or institutions would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. “The chancellor and the entire government welcome the revival of Jewish life in Germany and will continue to stand up for the security of Jewish citizens,” he said. Adding, that the German government saw Israel as a “friend and partner” and would work with “all its strength” to maintain those ties.

German President Joachim Gauck also called the leader of the country’s 200,000-strong Jewish community, Dieter Graumann, to discuss the “dreadful anti-Semitic incidents” in recent days.

“Many members of our community are very shaken, worried and absolutely shocked by the worst anti-Jewish slogans that some out-of-control crowds have shouted, calling for Jews to be ‘gassed,’ ‘burned’ and ‘slaughtered’,” Graumann said in a statement.
