BILD columnist Philip Pyatov expressed concern about the recent pogrom against Jews in Amsterdam and suggested that something similar could happen again in Germany.
He recalled that in the city where Anne Frank hid from the Nazis during World War II, Jews were forced to seek refuge in hotels and shops, fleeing attacks by aggressive Arab groups.
Pyatov cited the opinion of the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, which wrote that the country had “sunk so low” that it could not offer security even to foreign football fans. King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands also admitted that the country had once again failed to protect the Jewish community, as it had done during the war.
Pyatov stressed that this incident was a show of force by radical groups that pose a threat to Germany. He drew attention to the fact that for more than a year society, including politicians, has realized that a large group of people in Germany supports radical terrorist movements.
Instead of taking decisive action, the government often explains this as a “Middle East conflict” and the police try to deal with the consequences.
According to the journalist, the events that Germany is experiencing after the Palestinian attacks by Hamas on Israel on October 7 cannot simply be classified as a Middle East conflict. Thousands of Islamists, he claimed, are already in German cities and order is only maintained thanks to the efforts of the police.
Pyatov warns that unless Germany reviews its immigration policies and takes tougher measures against radical Islam and anti-Semitism, violence like what occurred in Amsterdam could become part of daily life in the country.
Previously, Kursor wrote that the investigation raises big questions for police, who ignored reports of imminent attacks on Jews in Amsterdam.
