Abstract:
Sums up results of interviews with a non-representative sample of 12 Muslim teenagers born and living in Berlin. All but two stated that they hated Jews and approved of aggressive anti-Jewish talk and behavior, without distinguishing between Israelis and Jews in Berlin. Several justified the Holocaust and supported suicide attacks. As causes for their hatred, all mentioned anger at Israeli killing of Palestinians, which they saw on television; and the fact that these feelings were shared by all in their peer group, and that if they felt otherwise they wouldn't belong. Some felt that hatred of Jews was part of their identity and of their relligion. Several reported that their parents expressed anti-Jewish views. Some referred to the surrounding German society as also antisemitic although not admitting it, and echoed common antisemitic stereotypes.
