Germany’s deputy leader has said “too few” Muslims in the country condemned the Oct 7 attack Hamas inflicted on Israel.
Robert Habeck urged Germany’s four million Muslims to distance themselves from anti-Semitism, saying some have been “too hesitant” to condemn Hamas.
“Anti-Semitism should not be tolerated in any form,” the German vice-chancellor and Green politician said, adding that “the scale of the Islamist demonstrations in Berlin and other cities in Germany is unacceptable and requires a tough political response”.
