Hatred against Jews has spiked in Germany with the spread of the new coronavirus, the government’s anti-Semitism commissioner warned Tuesday.

“There are direct links between the current spread of the coronavirus and that of anti-Semitism,” Felix Klein said in Berlin at the launch of a new government research project into the issue.

“There is a boom in conspiracy theories in times of crisis,” he said, describing anti-Semitism as a virus of its own that is “contagious on a social level”.

For example, he cited claims circulating online that the pandemic is the result of a failed bioweapon test by the Israeli secret service.

“In recent weeks, right-wing radicals have increasingly tried to leverage the coronavirus crisis for their own ends,” Klein said.

Anti-Semitic crimes have increased steadily in Germany in recent years. …

What, they think Jews released Coronavirus? I guess there is no expecting sense from people who don’t have any.

This has apparently been going around Europe for a while. Probably obvious who has been spreading it.

I thought we had beaten and bombed the anti-Semitism out of all the old Germans. I guess it must be the new "Germans" they let in. But then they blame the Jooooooos for everything from cloudy weather to a detonator not going off at the right time.

There’s a large Muslim population there now that blames the Jews for everything.

The dirty people in the world release this virus, either by accident or by living in squalor. It’s spread among Iranians, dirty Middle Easterners, and Orientals..... Jews bad.

I guess that makes sense. ...To Hitler

The article makes no mention of these guys. Maybe Klein just forgot.

Karl Marx:Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. from On the Jewish Question 1844

What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need; self-interest.

What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering.

What is his worldly god? Money.

Very well, then! Emancipation from huckstering and money—consequently from practical, real Judaism—would be the self-emancipation of our time. …
That’s also from Marx’s Zum Judenfrage, which was a critique of Die Judenfrage by his friend from college days Bruno Bauer.

(Slapping myself on the forehead.). Boy, have we been barking up the wrong tree, blaming this on the poor Chinese when it was obviously caused by the Jews, the source of all calamity. Remember that for next time./s

Uh, no. That happened about 80 years ago with the spread of the National Socialists.
