(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)Israeli flags burned outside 2 German synagogues, Free Palestine spray-painted on another in Spain
Israeli flags were burned in front of two synagogues in Germany and the words Free Palestine were spray-painted on another one in Spain.
The incidents this week are among the first manifestations of antisemitism in Europe connected to the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which six Israelis and at least 50 Palestinians have died in the exchange of rocket fire.
In Germany, police arrested 13 people in Muenster after witnesses reported a group of about 15 with Arabic appearance shouting and burning an Israeli flag in front of the synagogue.
In Bonn, police arrested three suspects in their 20s in connection with the burning of an Israeli flag outside a synagogue. A window in the door of the synagogue had been shattered.

And so it begins, what could turn into a rash of anti-Semitic hate crimes which a certain lot will "justify" with their own bigotry.
***As a note, this is the JEWISH GROUP and not the Israel/Palestine group, so if you are itching to discussing the ins and outs of that conflict, then head over there. Keep in mind, there are specific rules for that group as well, but they have been relaxed some, but check with the host, Lithos, for any questions.

It never will stop. For some with a need to hate, blaming Jews anywhere on planet Earth is the default reaction to Israeli policy for which they have no say in and nothing to do with. Jews in Germany and Spain do not vote in Israeli elections, neither do American Jews. That fact doesn't seem to matter much.

Also as predictable, are those who make excuses for this behavior, who tolerate it, and, in some cases, encourage it. They are joined by their fellow travelers advocating for the destruction of Israel, as well as, whining about "Jewish power" in a variety of mediums. It is disgusting, but it never ends.
