The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) has created a comprehensive picture of the situation on antisemitism. It gives an overview of how antisemitism is currently represented in its constitutional protection-relevant forms in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Hostility towards Jews is widespread in all extremist phenomena: among right-wing extremists, among “Reich citizens and self-administrators”, in Islamism and foreign extremism as well as in left-wing extremism.

Antisemitic ideas are virulent in the individual extremism areas to different extents and in different forms. Overall, anti-Zionist antisemitism is currently the most important form of hostility towards Jews.

The Internet, in particular, is an essential factor in the spread of antisemitic agitation.

I served as an Antiaemitism Researcher at the Prime Minister's Office in Tel Aviv. For the last 17 years I have been researching antisemitism. As part of my research work, I ran a website that brought together all the news and antiemitic events that occurred in the world: CFCA - (The Coordination Forum for Countering Antisemitism) The site was the world's largest database of antisemitism and was an important element in the fight to eradicate this phenomenon. As I retire from state jobs, I continue my research work and am currently coordinating the information on a site called Monitoring Antisemitism Worldwide.
