Merkel warns against increasing Jew-hatred

berlin - German Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned against increasing Jew-hatred in Germany. She wants resolute action against racism, xenophobia and exclusion. Merkel spoke Friday during the commemoration of the Kristallnacht, which took place 80 years ago.

'In Germany there is a flourishing Jewish society again', says Merkel. 'But at the same time we are witnessing a worrying anti-Semitism that threatens Jewish life in our country and in other parts of the world that are deemed safe. '
