German police arrest suspect after assault near synagogue in Hamburg
[AlAhram] German police on Sunday arrested a man who attacked and seriously injured a Jewish citizen near a synagogue in the northern town of Hamburg as the Jewish community celebrated Sukkoth.The assault took place nearly one year after a far-right gunman attacked a synagogue in the eastern city of Halle on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas denounced the Hamburg attack as anti-Semitic and called on Germans to show more civil courage. "This is not an isolated incident, this is disgusting anti-Semitism and we must all oppose it!," Maas said in a tweet. A police front man said the 29-year-old attacker was accused of causing grievous bodily harm. The attacker seemed to have acted alone so there was no further threat, he added. The motive was unclear, the police front man said. The 29-year-old victim suffered serious head injuries after the suspect assaulted him with a shovel, German media reported. The suspect was wearing military clothes reminiscent of the outfit of the neo-Nazi  ...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both....attacker in Halle, the media reported. The right-wing gunman attacked the synagogue in Halle on Oct. 9 last year and shot two bystanders after failing to enter the building. The suspect Stephan B. confessed to the crime and is standing trial.
According to Germany’s dpa news agency, they found a piece of paper bearing a swastika in one of his trouser pockets. The woman attacked managed to get herself away from her attacker and passers-by gave her first aid before she was taken to hospital, the agency added. A police front man cited by dpa said the suspect, a German of Kazakh origin,
Only last month, Chancellor Angela Merkel ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists... spoke of her shame over rising anti-Semitism in Germany, even as the Jewish community warned the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)  ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...was acting as a catalyst stirring up anti-Jewish hatred. Anti-Semitic crimes have increased steadily in Germany in recent years with 2,032 anti-Semitic offenses recorded in 2019, up 13 percent on the previous year. Germany is now home to the third-largest Jewish population in western Europe, largely due to an influx of around 200,000 Jews following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
