German officials are on a “maximum security” alert for possible attacks against Jewish targets throughout the country. Police there have instructed Jewish residents in Berlin not to appear in public with clothes that identify them as Jews in order to avoid being attacked. An article featured on the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung website (Faz.com) says that the nearly 100,000 German Jews are starting to \"get nervous\" in light of the wave of anti-Semitism plaguing Jewish communities throughout neighboring France. The article quotes Paul Spiegel, president of Germany\'s Central Jewish Council, who says, \"The threat [to German Jewry] is getting closer.\" Spiegel acknowledged that he and his staff members have been receiving many anti-Semitic threats in the mail and via email.
World Jewish leaders convened in Brussels yesterday for an urgent meeting to discuss the alarming increase in anti-Semitic attacks around the world. Officials of the European Jewish Congress say there have been 300 anti-Semitic attacks across Europe in the past three weeks alone.
