World
Germany's chancellor has called on the country's population to "defend the Jews" following reports of a number of anti-Semitic incidents linked to the conflict in the Middle East. He says this is a matter of civil courage. DW reports that.
"Anyone who attacks Jews in Germany is attacking us all. We will not accept antisemitism. We have crystal-clear laws: It is a criminal offense to burn Israeli flags; It is a criminal offense to cheer the death of innocent people; It is a criminal offense to shout anti-Semitic slogans," Scholz said in an interview with the newspaper Mannheimer Morgen.
It is noted that these comments by Scholz came against the backdrop of pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Germany.
"Law enforcement agencies have the necessary tools and they must use them consistently. Police authorities and courts know what to do," the chancellor said.
