Germans urged to wear Jewish yarmulke in show of solidarity
Germany's anti-Semitism commissioner has urged Germans to wear kippahs in public on Saturday, following an earlier statement calling on Jews to refrain from donning skullcaps in public in light of a rise in anti-Semitic crimes in the country.
In a statement on Monday Felix Klein said, people should wear Jewish skullcaps in a bid to show solidarity with Jews and take a positive stance on diversity and freedom of religion.
Al-Quds Day is an annual event held at the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, initiated by the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979 in support of Palestinians and in opposition to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.
Al-Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem, meaning holy.
In previous years, the event has attracted a range of anti-Israel demonstrators including supporters of Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as neo-Nazis and supporters of conspiracy theories.
"I call on all citizens of Berlin and across Germany to wear the yarmulke next Saturday if there are new, intolerable attacks targeting Israel and Jews on the occasion of Al-Quds Day in Berlin," Felix Klein said.
