Weekly roundup of world briefs

Weekly roundup of world briefs By Ron Kampeas WASHINGTON (JTA) In his proclamation marking Jewish American Heritage Month, President Joe Biden cited the precedents set by prominent Jews in politics this year and condemned the nation’s spike in antisemitism in recent years. Biden recognized Douglas Emhoff and Chuck Schumer, saying this year Americans saw “two historic firsts… the Vice President take the oath of office alongside her Jewish spouse, and a Jewish American became the first Majority Leader of the United States Senate and the highest-ranking Jewish American elected official in our Nation’s history.” Schumer, the Jewish Democrat from New York, became Senate majority leader in January when Democrats retook the Senate.

German Jews demand government protect synagogues after Israeli flag burnings

Follow May. 13, 2021 Germany’s Jewish community called upon the German government on Tuesday to step up protection of Jewish institutions throughout the country after Israeli flags were burned in front of two synagogues, apparently in response to the latest escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Police arrested 13 people in the northwestern city of Münster after witnesses reported a group of about 15 people of “Arab appearance” shouting and burning an Israeli flag in front of the synagogue. In Bonn, three suspects in their 20s were detained in connection with the burning of an Israeli flag outside a synagogue there. A window in the door of the synagogue was also shattered. The suspects admitted to police that hostilities between Israel and Hamas and its allies in Gaza had motivated them to throw stones at the building.

Berlin bans annual Quds Day march that protests Israel

4 shares File: Protesters attend a pro-Palestinian rally on Quds Day in Berlin, Friday, July 25, 2014 (AP Photo/Markus Schreiber) Berlin banned the annual anti-Israel Quds Day march this year, the first time the city has taken a stand against the event since it became a local tradition in 1996. Quds Day, which protests the establishment of the state of Israel, was established in 1979 by Iran’s leader Ayatollah Khomeini. Since then, his followers have marked the day in cities around the world with large Muslim populations, during or shortly after Ramadan. Jewish and pro-Israel groups have tried for years to have the march banned as a purely antisemitic demonstration. It is illegal in Germany to call for the destruction of Israel.
