Overview
- Ron Prosor told Funke Mediengruppe that left‑wing antisemitism is more dangerous than right‑wing or Islamist forms because it conceals its intent.
- He said Germany has established political and legal tools against the far right, described Islamist antisemitism as highly dangerous, and argued authorities are learning to counter it.
- Prosor cited cultural and academic settings as problem areas, pointing to Flanders Festival Ghent’s cancellation of Israeli conductor Lahav Shani as an example of delegitimization.
- He reported growing insecurity among Jews in Germany, noting property purchases in Israel and cautioning visitors not to wear a Star of David while walking Berlin’s Sonnenallee in Neukölln.
- Former president Joachim Gauck urged stronger resolve against antisemitism beyond the far right, while commentary from left‑leaning outlets criticized Prosor’s framing, underscoring an intensifying public debate.
