Six antisemitic incidents every 24 hours, according to German Government’s figures for 2021 so far

New figures published by Germany’s federal government show that so far in 2021 there have been an average of six antisemitic incidents every 24 hours.

As of early November, 1,850 antisemitic crimes have been reported, 335 of which involved physical violence, leaving seventeen people injured.

The data, which comes from case statistics collected by the Federal Criminal Police Office on politically-motivated crime, was provided in response to a data request by Petra Pau, the leader of The Left Party and Vice President of the Bundestag.

However, it is widely believed that the real number of incidents far exceeds the number of reported crimes.

According to Welt, only 930 suspects have been identified and only five have been arrested, with two other arrest warrants issued.

Ms Pau said: “The culture of impunity motivates offenders to commit crimes and demotivates victims to report them. Antisemitic crimes must finally be consistently prosecuted.”

The total reported antisemitic crime figures for 2019 and 2020 were 2,032 and 2,351, respectively.
