Anti-Semitism in Berlin, especially towards young Jews, appears to be on the rise. The capital's Central Council of Jews has received many complaints from Jewish parents whose children have been verbally and physically abused at school or on the street, according to a November announcement from Gideon Joffe, the council's chairman.

Since the start of the year, Berlin's police have registered 190 anti-Semitic incidents, up from 123 in 2003 and 146 in 2004 (2005 saw 272 incidents, but many of these were the work of a single right-wing extremist). The most recent incident was on November 19th in Tempelhof, when players in a youth football team hurled anti-Semitic insults at members of the opposing, Jewish team. Mr Joffe said many of the attacks were seemingly carried out by Muslims from immigrant families, whereas in the past Germans were mostly to blame.

anti semitism is a word that is used too much. I disagree with alot of the actions that the mossad carries out and am not afraid to talk about it. becuase of that i am often labeled an anti semite, which is ridiculous. it is just llike saying i don't agree with bush and being called anti-american.

I believe that anti-Semitism existed before Islam, and the guilty party for it was all too often the leadership of the Christian church itself.

Its more likely the Lutherans, Catholics, Protestants and that sort that have created the atmosphere of intolerance originally.
