Interview with mayor Stephan Weil (Social Democrat). His response to a question concerning this event is this:(Google translation cleaned up)
Q: In Sahlkamp it became evident this year that serious conflicts among ethnic groups are a real possibility. Children of Arabic descent pelted a Jewish dance group with stones.
Is this the beginning of a new antisemitism among certain strata of society?
A:The incident has shocked me at that time. But now, after careful examination, we see more clearly. The attack developed in the context of a few families
If the attack just 'developed' the actual attackers or instigators can't really be blamed, can they? Weil is employing every rhetorical trick to avoid laying blame on Arabs here. And yes, it's just as awkward in German., it can not therefore be attributed to the social structure of an entire neighborhood. This form of anti-Semitism has a lot to do with the conflict in the Middle East
It's Israel's fault.
and is above all an expression of unfortunately widespread everyday racism.
They're victims of society.
To counter this an alliance of various institutions in the precinct is preparing a wide range of activities under the umbrella term "respect".
So Muslim antisemitism is worthy of "respect?"
Again if Weil's response appears to be awkward and wishy-washy it's not an artifact of translation. I smell Hizzoner's fear of Muslim riots.
