A group tracking antisemitism in Germany said Tuesday that it documented a drastic increase of antisemitic incidents in the country in the month after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7.

The RIAS group said it recorded 994 incidents, which is an average of 29 incidents per day and an increase of 320% compared to the same time period in 2022. The group looked at the time period from Oct. 7 to Nov. 9.

Among the 994 antisemitic incidents, there were three cases of extreme violence, 29 attacks, targeted damage to 72 properties, 32 threats, four mass mailings and 854 cases of offensive behavior.

Many Jews in Germany experienced antisemitic incidents in their everyday lives and even those who weren’t exposed to any antisemitic incidents reported feelings of insecurity and fear, said RIAS, which is an abbreviation in German for the Department for Research and Information on Antisemitism.

    What is going on with these posts? Why are all the comments deleted?

    So, it says there are 17 comments, but I only see 5?

    Albatross told me to go fuck myself. That user should definitely be banned. Where are all the other comments?

        I didn’t see anything uncivil. Certainly not pro-Isreal, but not uncivil.

        Edit: Except for a post from the albatross. They seem unhinged.
