In Berlin, the far left Linke Party garnered the most votes while Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania proved to be another triumph for the far Right AfD. Earlier this month, the AfD triumphed in Saxony-Anhalt.
In response to this electoral disaster, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated, “The fact that Jewish life is no longer safe in Germany is the heaviest burden of recent years.”
As you can imagine, when the German head of state tells the world that his country is no longer safe for Jews then all bets are off.
Merz's pledge that his government will do "everything possible to ensure that Jewish life in Germany, and here in the capital, Berlin, is safe,” is a day late and a Deutschmark short when he has already concluded it is no longer safe to be a Jew in Germany. This reality is reflected in the vote.
Of course, it is less safe to be a Jew all over the world. Yet the declaration of Jews no longer being safe in Germany takes on a whole other meaning.
Merz's grip on power is on tenterhooks. It is only a matter of time before the Far Left & Far Right rule Germany and Jews will once again be public enemy number one.
No good can come of it. I can only hope it can be stopped but it seems that Germans don't want to stop it. It would seem that Germans are in the mood to kill Jews again.
