Rabbi and 8 students harassed with anti-Semitic abuse in Berlin
By Reuters
Tags: israel news, anti-semitism 



Two men shouted anti-Semitic abuse at a Rabbi and eight students traveling with him in Berlin early on Sunday and threw an object at their van, police said.

The two men, driving a Mercedes Benz, braked in front of the Rabbi's van and then reversed back towards it while shouting anti-Semitic insults, police said in a statement.

"The 36-year-old [Rabbi] then saw the driver light up an unknown object and throw it towards his van," the police said, adding that the rabbi could not explain what the object was.

Anti-Semitic crime has been rising in Germany, which has seen an influx of some 220,000 Jews from the former Soviet Union since 1990 after being home to just a very small Jewish community in the decades after the Holocaust.

Violent right-wing crime jumped 9 percent last year, and the Interior Ministry said last month it was up significantly again in the first half of this year.
