“Now you can see that nonsense has been brought into the country”

“Now you can see that nonsense has been brought into the country”

Since Hamas' attack on Israel, anti-Semitic incidents in Germany have become more serious. The Bavarian Deputy Prime Minister Aiwanger sees a problem in immigration policy. The demonstrators come primarily from the Islamist environment.
The problem has been “hushed up and smiled away for too long,” says Aiwanger
Bavaria's Deputy Prime Minister Hubert Aiwanger has sharply criticized the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic protests in Germany. The demonstrators come primarily from the Islamist environment. “This has been hushed up for too long, smiled away, and no one should talk about it,” he said on Deutschlandfunk on Tuesday morning. “And now you can see that nonsense has been brought into the country.” Germany will have to take a better look at this in the future. “Immigration policy is one of the reasons for this development.”
The immigration was uncontrolled, “including from these cultural circles where anti-Semitism is openly shown and presented,” said the Free Voters leader.
Germany does not need migrants who take extremist positions onto the streets. “We don’t have to have that. We don't have to hand our passports to people who then attack the police during violent demonstrations, attack Israel, attack businesses." We need to consider whether immigrants in Germany have to hold anti-Israel protests, which often end violently. Better action should be taken here.
The Bavarian Justice Minister Georg Eisenreich (CSU) also recently complained about an increasing number of anti-Semitic crimes in Bavaria, Germany and Europe. Eisenreich said the consequences of a wrong immigration policy “are now becoming abundantly clear.” In addition to the anti-Semitism that has always existed in parts of our society and which has increased in recent years, there is imported anti-Semitism.
