Of note:
The Central Council of Jews in Germany has warned of increased anti-Semitism due to the protests against coronavirus measures.
“For months, conspiracy theories with anti-Semitic tendencies have been deliberately stirred up in the coronavirus debate,” Council President Josef Schuster told German daily newspaper Bild.
“If, for example, the Rothschilds are blamed for the pandemic, then this is a synonym for Jews,” said Shuster.
He added that not everyone who protested in Berlin in August was anti-Semitic or racist, “but they walked among them.”
Two recent protests have drawn tens of thousands from across the country to Berlin. The demonstrations were mainly peaceful, but at one point, hundreds of demonstrators broke through a blockade in an attempt to storm the Reichstag building.
