BERLIN: Antisemitism has risen in Germany since Hamas's attacks on Israel on Oct 7, the head of a German anti-discrimination think-tank said, warning that Germans had become too willing to ignore their own past crimes and criticise Israel.

Police secure the street with a sign "stop police - do not enter the crime scene"after two molotov cocktails were thrown at a synagogue overnight in Berlin, Germany, Oct 18, 2023.

Sociologist Beate Kuepper said 5.7 per cent of the population showed antisemitic attitudes, three times the level of two years ago. While people with origins in Türkiye or Russia were by far the most likely to have antisemitic beliefs, young people accounted for most of that increase, she added., which began after a raid by Hamas militants on southern Israel on Oct 7 in which 1,400 Israelis were killed and 240 hostages seized.

"In these debates, the role of Israel-related antisemitism was diminished," he said."They said it was fine to criticise Israel from the country of the Shoah."
