Angela Merkel to attend Berlin rally against anti-Semitism
German chancellor Angela Merkel has called on the country’s citizens to attend a rally against anti-Semitism next week in Berlin where she will speak.
Mrs Merkel said today she will do everything possible to make sure anti-Semitism has no chance in Germany.
Her remarks came after recent protests in Germany against the Gaza war turned anti-Semitic, with synagogues and Jews being attacked and demonstrators chanting for Jews to be gassed.
Mrs Merkel said making Jews feel safe remains a top priority for Germany 75 years after it attacked Poland in the run-up to the Second World War and the killing of six million Jews. She expressed worries that Jewish institutions need police protection.
