This is the best summary I could come up with:
Germany’s Chancellor has urged people in the country to “protect Jews” after a number of antisemitic incidents were reported in relation to the conflict in the Middle East.
On Sunday, the European Commission condemned a spike in antisemitism following the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip against Hamas, which is considered a terrorist organization by the EU, the US, Germany and others.
The European Commission pointed to antisemitic incidents in Austria, France, Germany and Spain, as well as "demonstrators chanting hate slogans against Jews.”
“The spike of antisemitic incidents across Europe has reached extraordinary levels in the last few days, reminiscent of some of the darkest times in history,” it said in a statement.
In the statement, the European Commission also condemned “the rise in anti-Muslim hatred that we have been witnessing over the past weeks — which has no place in Europe.”
