Germany: After Arab migrants celebrate Iranian rocket attack on Israel, far-left interior minister says she is ‘surprised’

“Many of these people have been allowed into the country since the wave of refugees in 2015. A serious mistake”.

Images of Arabs dancing and acting in a jubilant manner in Germany after Iran bombed Israel with nearly 200 rockets sparked widespread debate in Germany, and now Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said she is shocked and will take “tough action” against these people, claiming they are committing a crime.

However, experts interviewed by Bild say there is no reason for shock or surprise, as many of Germany’s Arab population hold extremely unfavorable views of Israel.

The renowned ethnologist Susanne Schröter, a professor at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, told the Bild newspaper it was a “taboo subject” to address the ties between immigration and anti-Semitism.
