A new wave of anti-Semitism plagues Germany
(CNN)Germany's anti-Semitism commissioner has asked all citizens to wear the kippah in solidarity with the Jewish community, in the run-up to planned anti-Israel protests Saturday.
"I call on all citizens of Berlin and across Germany to wear the yarmulke (as the skullcap is known in Yiddish) next Saturday if there are new, intolerable attacks targeting Israel and Jews on the occasion of Al-Quds Day in Berlin," said Felix Klein in a statement.
"By doing this we can show a great sign of solidarity with the Jewish community and make a statement for the freedom of religion and the diversity of our society," Klein told CNN via email.
Germany's Bild newspaper published a cut-out kippah in a campaign against anti-Semitism
