Since the Hamas massacre on Israeli soil, attacks on Jewish life have also increased in Austria.
After it was demolished a few days ago by three young people and a video of it was distributed on social networks – the ‘Krone’ reported – the blue-white flag with the Star of David in the heart is flying again on the facade of the Vienna city temple.
300 percent increase in incidents
It was just one of many incidents recently recorded by the anti-Semitism hotline: in the first two weeks after the October 7 attack by the Hamas butchers alone, 76 anti-Semitic incidents were reported in Austria – an increase of 300 percent. !) compared to the average of the previous year.
In addition to humiliating the flag, this also includes disgusting graffiti on walls, insults or statements that glorify terror.
Back to the city temple, one of the centers of Jewish life in Austria: on the windows there are photos of people kidnapped by the terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip, and in front of them are candles in memory of the at least 1,400 victims.
Mid-week, Karoline Edtstadler paid a solidarity visit to the synagogue: “The increasing anti-Israel incidents in Austria are shameful and shocking at the same time,” said the Minister of Constitutional Affairs. “It is our shared task to combat any form of anti-Semitism.”
