German Jewish community concerned over projected success of far-right AfD

The populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is poised for a strong performance in the upcoming state elections in Saxony-Anhalt. The party, which faces persistent accusations of antisemitism, has become a focal point of political debate. For Germany's Jewish community, this projected success raises difficult questions regarding their future and security. Political observers note that Jewish citizens in Germany increasingly feel caught between pressures from the political left and the rise of the far-right. The Times of Israel reports that these political developments have intensified a sense of insecurity for religious minorities across the country.
