More than 70 years after the Holocaust, the biggest threat to Germany’s Jews are still German Neo-Nazis. the majority of anti-semitic attacks in Germany are committed by neo-Nazis, according to recent data presented by the German government this week. Some government members were surprised to discover that 95 percent of all anti-semitic attacks in Germany were perpetrated by right-wing extremists.

Neo-Nazis were responsible for 1,218 of 1,275 attacks against German Jews in 2013, according to the government figures. This challenges a misconception that growing Muslim populations in European cities are to blame for hate crimes against Jews, especially after attacks on Jewish communities in Paris and elsewhere in Europe. An extremist Islamic group in Germany calling themselves “Sharia Police” is on a mission to impose Islamic law onto all of Germany, but rather than posing a danger to Jews in Germany, they are being targeted by the same xenophobic groups.

Parliament member Volker Beck said, “The feeling in the Jewish community, as well as my feeling, was that there were more Muslim antisemitic attacks, but the statistics doesn’t support that,” he said. There are still around 25,000 right-wing extremists in Germany, 5,600 of which are neo-Nazis. Germany’s Jewish population is estimated to be at around 120,000, whereas its Muslim population numbers over 4 million.

As Beck said, maybe the German Jews are misguided as to what or who constitutes their greatest threat. “This just proves that we need to research the issue more and to get a better assessment of what threatens the security of Jewish people and Jewish institutions in Germany,” he said.
