German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has called on people of Arab origin in Germany to clearly distance themselves from antisemitism and the Hamas militant group that runs the Gaza Strip.
The president expressed concern that the conflict between Israel and Hamas could adversely affect the state of peaceful coexistence in Germany, adding that he was "appalled by the condoning of terror and antisemitic incitement on our streets."
"Our country, our society, has been under more pressure than it has been for a long time," he said. "I'm delighted by the great solidarity with Israel, but I'm concerned about the extent to which the violence in the Middle East is also endangering social peace in Germany."
Addressing Germany's Jewish community, Steinmeier said violence against Jews in Israel had "shaken you to the core." He called it "intolerable" that Jews felt unsafe in Germany and were afraid to send their children to school.
"We will not tolerate antisemitism in our country: neither old nor new, neither Christian nor Muslim, neither left-wing nor right-wing," he said.
