  • Hatred against Jews has spiked in Germany with the spread of the new coronavirus, the government's anti-Semitism commissioner warned Tuesday. "There are direct links between the current spread of the coronavirus and that of anti-Semitism," Felix Klein said in Berlin at the launch of a new government research project into the issue. "There is a boom in conspiracy theories in times of crisis," he said, describing anti-Semitism as a virus of its own that is "contagious on a social level". For example, he cited claims circulating online that the pandemic is the result of a failed bioweapon test by the Israeli secret service. "In recent weeks, right-wing radicals have increasingly tried to leverage the coronavirus crisis for their own ends," Klein said. Anti-Semitic crimes have increased steadily in Germany in recent years. According to government figures, the country recorded 1,799 anti-Semitic offences in 2018, up nearly 20 percent on the year before. Of those, 69 were classed as violent attacks. Last October, a suspected neo-Nazi gunman tried to storm a synagogue filled with worshippers in the city of Halle. After failing to break down the door, he shot dead a female passer-by and a man at a kebab shop instead. With 12 million euros ($13 million) of funding between 2021 and 2025, the new research project involving several German universities will aim "to better understand the causes and manifestations of anti-Semitism," according to Education and Research Minister Anja Karliczek. "We want to tackle anti-Semitism with science," Karliczek said. bur-fec/mfp/bmm
