The escalation of violence in Israel and in Gaza has also led to social polarisation in Germany. Nuanced public debate hardly seems possible any more.

<h4>Moderation</h4>

Vivian Perkovic&nbsp;&ndash; German journalist, television presenter

The escalation of violence in Israel and in Gaza has also led to social polarisation in Germany. Nuanced public debate hardly seems possible any more.

Resisting anti-Semitism and the right to free speech are played off against each other. The status of a commitment to Israel&rsquo;s security as a fundamental principle of the German state is now challenged. Anti-Semitic hate speech is evident in both private and public discussions &ndash; especially on social media &ndash; and attacks on Jews and Jewish institutions have increased enormously. At the same time, Palestinians have been subjected to blanket suspicion and there has been a significant increase in anti-Islamic crimes. The journalist Alena Jabarine and the historians Per Leo and Meron Mendel discuss what this conflict is doing to society in Germany &ndash; from a Palestinian, German and Jewish-Israeli perspective.
