Cooking Culinary Adventure: inspired by Halifax's Seaport Market | SaltWire #cooking #cookingshortsBERLIN - President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Sunday it was an outrage that Germany's Jewish institutions had required enhanced security protection since Hamas's attack on Israel two weeks ago, urging attendees at a rally to stand against antisemitism.

"Our democracy makes no distinction: regardless of origins, experience or religion, everyone who lives here must know Auschwitz and understand the responsibility that our country has because of it," he said.Since Hamas's deadly incursion and reprisal attacks by Israeli forces, Germany has witnessed a series of protests in support both of Israel and Gaza, at some of which antisemitic slogans were heard.
