Anti -Semitism in Vogelsberg: A wake -up call for clarification and dialogue!

A current lecture on anti -Semitism in the Alsfeld volunteer center brought important insights into the frightening presence of this phenomenon in our society. Maya Roisman, the committed speaker and head of workshops at the Jewish Museum Frankfurt, addressed the worrying connection between different extremist groups, including right -wing extremist and Islamist state followers, as well as their joint attitude towards Jews. These topics were also initiated by the discussion about Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip, because criticism of Israel is often transferred directly to the Jews living there, which brings deeply rooted anti -Semitic prejudices to the surface again. The Oberhessische Zeitung reports that old anti-Semitic motifs are picked up again, which is alarming and clear makes how deeply anti -Semitism is anchored in our society.

Roisman pointed out that anti -Semitic resentment in Germany has again gained legitimacy in the past two decades, especially in the context of social media, where open verb anti -Semitism has increased. Interestingly, this problem is not only evident in the right -wing extremist spectrum, it can also be found in the political left and in Islamic groups. The political mobilization of anti -Semitism is a phenomenon that we can observe in the 21st century, and it can also be seen in the current discussions about Israel.
