Germany Warns of Significant Antisemitism Threat as Berlin Boosts Policing for Oct. 7

Security officials cite escalating incitement targeting Jewish people as conflict-related propaganda spreads.

Overview

  • Germany’s domestic intelligence service released a new assessment warning of a significant threat, noting rising hate and calls to violence against Jews and pro‑Israel institutions and the uncovering of attack plans.
  • The analysis says extremists from otherwise divergent milieus are using anti‑Israel narratives as a shared enemy image, with social media serving as a common resonance space.
  • Berlin will deploy more than 1,000 additional officers for the anniversary, with police preparing for spontaneous actions and a planned Alexanderplatz rally that has already drawn a criminal complaint from Brandenburg’s antisemitism commissioner.
  • RIAS reports 2,225 assemblies with antisemitic content from October 2023 to December 2024, indicating roughly a fivefold increase over the preceding period.
  • Hesse recorded 357 antisemitic crimes in 2024 and 134 through August 2025, while a Munich rally led by Guy Katz promoted a five‑point plan whose petition has surpassed 30,000 signatures.
