It seems like a travesty of the German fight against anti-Semitism, but it is reality: a 16-year-old Arab beats up a Jew – previously he was part of a campaign against anti-Semitism.
The victim of the attack, which took place at a small Israel vigil in downtown Hamburg, has since left hospital. The 60-year-old Jew suffered a fractured cheekbone and nasal bone. The blow also caused a piece of glass to enter his eye. He had to undergo several operations. In an interview with Bild-TV, the man still appeared to be in bad shape, complaining of headaches, problems eating and massive visual difficulties, as the attack had caused his pupil to enlarge. That is why he also wears an eye patch. “It’s going to take quite a while for this to really all heal, if it all heals at all,” he said.
In the interview, the victim also stressed his criticism that the police often turned a blind eye regarding perpetrators with a foreign background. A look at a police report from Tuesday underlines the problem: it only says that the suspect found was “a 16-year-old German”. There is no further background information on the perpetrator. The Hamburg Senate’s anti-Semitism commissioner, Stefan Hensel, recently appealed: “Anti-Semitism must finally be named by politicians as the dramatic threat to Germany’s Jews that it is.” Perhaps the Senate should start with itself: The governing mayor Peter Tschentscher ( Social Democratic Party, SPD) has still not made any perceptible statement on the case.

The brutal teenage thug, who had been accompanied by three youths and whom the newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt calls a “German”, initially fled on an e-scooter after his crime and was searched for days in the Hanseatic city and in Berlin by investigators from the Hamburg State Criminal Police Office. Now he has been arrested in his parents’ flat in the Wedding district of Berlin.
But as is almost usual in Germany, especially with foreign offenders and migrant criminals with German passports: Aram A. was released after a short time.
Aram A. currently refuses to give a statement to the media. His mother, who according to research by the newspaper Bild “regularly supports the radical Islamic Hezbollah and the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad at demonstrations”, admits that her family is “against Israel”. But, “what my son did is wrong.”
Whether Aram A.’s Muslim family in Berlin belongs to the group of “refugees”, regularly gets social welfare and lives in premises that the state – i.e. the taxpayer – pays for indefinitely is currently unknown.
It can be assumed that the youth A. will be “punished” at some point according to the rather lenient standards of juvenile criminal law. In such cases, experience shows that German courts usually impose generous suspended sentences with conspicuously great leniency.
