Abstract:
Der 7. Oktober 2023 und der Krieg in Israel und Gaza führ(t)en auch in Deutschland und Österreich zu einem sprunghaften Anstieg antisemitischer Vorfälle, die von unterschiedlichen politischen Hintergründen ausgehen und sich in Formen wie israelbezogenem Antisemitismus und Post-Schoa-Antisemitismus ausdrücken. Die Instrumente der polizeilichen Erfassung antisemitischer Straftaten helfen nur bedingt, das Ausmaß und die Qualität antisemitischer Aussagen und Handlungen abzubilden. Vor dem Hintergrund des enormen Dunkelfelds antisemitischer Straftaten und des fehlenden Vertrauens von Betroffenen in die Strafverfolgungsbehörden führte der Bundesverband RIAS im Jahr 2022 im Zuge des Projekts „Austausch von Polizei und Zivilgesellschaft zu Antisemitismus“ Expert_inneninterviews. Diese werden herangezogen, um die Grenzen und Leerstellen der polizeilichen Erfassung antisemitischer Straftaten in Deutschland zu beleuchten, wobei insbesondere die strukturellen Hürden und das der deutschen Polizei zugrunde liegende Verständnis von Antisemitismus sowie die individuelle Sensibilität der Befragten für das Thema in den Blick genommen werden.

Abstract:
October 7 marked the beginning of an antisemitic dynamic in Germany: By mid-November, civil society reporting offices working with the method developed by RIAS had documented a total of 994 antisemitic incidents in the context of the Hamas massacres and the war in Israel and Gaza for the period from October 7 to November 9, 2023. This equates to 29 incidents per day. The incidents include three cases of extreme violence that could potentially be deadly. The chapter deploys the concept of opportunity structures to describe this dynamic. In this sense, the widespread violence perpetrated by Hamas in Israel establishes a framework that also favours the occurrence of antisemitic incidents in Germany. Opportunity structures such as social structures, political-cultural reservoirs, public debates, situational factors and others are not the reason for antisemitism but provide antisemites with the framework to act antisemitically. Taking into account the perspective of those affected by these antisemitic incidents, the chapter states that for Jews in Germany, October 7 represents a turning point that further intensifies the feeling of threat and isolation in German society.
