Germany, an early defender of Israel against allegations of genocide in Gaza at the International Court of Justice, has pulled support as it faces its own charges for aiding Israel. Germany will no longer intervene on Israel’s behalf, a spokesperson for the German Foreign Ministry told reporters.

This is not only about the dramatic rise in antisemitic incidents since October 7, nor solely about the wave of anti-Israel demonstrations that have effectively turned into protests against Jewish existence itself.

Demonization of Israel, Jews, and core Jewish values—including Zionism—continues to spread across nations, international justice venues, university campuses, airports and ports, cultural institutions, and sports arenas. Every insult, every call for a boycott, and every violent act against Jews at prayer is legitimized and amplified across social media. How bad could it get? Just days before the murderous Yom Kippur attack on a Manchester synagogue, CRIF—the official body of F
