Germany's democracy at risk, warns Israeli ambassador.

Following anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim attacks in Halle and Hanau, Israeli ambassador to Germany Jeremy Issacharoff warned Thursday that: "No democratic society can survive if minorities are constantly threatened or harmed."

"The Holocaust has shown us all where such hatred leads," he told the German regional newspaper Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung. "An open society can tolerate many things, but never violence. People are starting to act violently against minorities, against Jews and Muslims again."

The ambassador also appealed to Jews and Muslims not to hide their religious affiliation.

"More security for every kind of community in Germany cannot be achieved by people hiding their identity, their religion," said the Israeli ambassador, who has been living in Germany for two and a half years.

"Not wearing a kippa or Muslim headgear would also mean hiding the problem. We have to protect everyone, stem terrorism and hatred, and maintain an open society where we can celebrate our diversity."

#4 Committed our treasury and manhood for pulling them out of two suicide attempts in the 20th Century. Then we indebted ourselves for generations doing the same to protect them from Moscow only to have them erect an authoritarian system in Brussels that is basically no different, other than having better suits. As lost as Justinian's attempt to resurrect the fallen Western Roman Empire.
