German official: Extremists share anti-Semitism

Top security official says both right-wing, radical Muslim in Germany have 'similar picture of enemy: Israel and Jews overall'

A top security official says he sees anti-Semitism in both right-wing and Muslim extremists in Germany.

 

Heinz Fromm, president of the domestic intelligence agency, is quoted in Der Spiegel Sunday as saying both have "a similar picture of the enemy: Israel and the Jews overall."

 

Fromm said that while neo-Nazis adhere to a racist anti-Semitism, Muslim extremists "are oriented toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

 

He said both groups have the idea "that Israel and the Jews have undue power that needs to be fought."

 

Last month, a group of Arab youths attacked and shouted anti-Semitic slogans at a Jewish dance group during a street festival in Hannover.
