Lawsuit against anti -Semitism: Student feels uncertain at Fu Berlin!

Kirchstraße 7, 10557 Berlin, Deutschland - In Berlin, a procedure before the administrative court has been initiated that focuses on the security of Jewish students at universities. On July 9, 2025, it was announced that an oral hearing on the administrative dispute VG 12 K 356/24 will take place on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. in the courthouse at Kirchstrasse 7, Hall 0416. In his complaint, the plaintiff, a member of the Jewish community and student of the Free University of Berlin, objects to the inadequate measures of the university of anti -Semitic discrimination, which in his opinion violates the Berlin University Act.

The student no longer feels safe on the university site. He accuses Pro-Palestinian groups of having held anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic events on campus. The Berlin University Act obliges the universities to prevent and eliminate discrimination, but the plaintiff does not see this obligation fulfilled. reports .

anti -Semitism at universities

Jewish students report an increasingly aggressive mood at Berlin universities, which is characterized by fear and exclusion. Some students feel forced to select courses after the perception of their security. Despite the calming of pro-Palestinian protests in the past few weeks, the feeling of uncertainty remains among Jewish students. rbb24 reports .

ron Dekel, President of the Jewish Student Union Germany (JSUD), criticizes the lack of positioning of universities against anti -Semitism. An attack on a Jewish student in February 2025 increases the fears. However, Freie Universität Berlin denies that it does not take sufficient against anti -Semitic incidents and emphasizes its efforts to make a safe environment. The new university law, which has come into force since July 2024, gives universities the opportunity to punish serious misconduct with de -enforcement. Despite these changes, none of the eleven universities in Berlin have passed a corresponding statute.

research results and votes

According to a study by the Federal Ministry of Research, Israel -related anti -Semitism among students in Germany has increased in Israel since Hamas' terrorist attack. This anti -Semitism is observed in 8 % of students. Josef Schuster, President of the Central Council of Jews, questioned why anti-Semitism is more present and radical at universities.

At universities there are increasingly disorders of lectures and attacks by pro-Palestinian activists. A survey carried out in connection with the study shows that around a third of the Jewish students have experienced discrimination, while more than half observed such incidents at the universities. These immediate experiences ensure an alarming increase in concern among Jewish students and call for effective prevention measures against anti -Semitism.
