A prominent Jewish group has criticized a court in western Germany for concluding that two men who firebombed a synagogue weren’t anti-Semitic.
Wuppertal’s district court on Thursday found the unnamed men of Palestinian origin guilty of attempted serious arson for throwing a molotov cocktail at a synagogue in July, causing 800 euros ($920) damage.
The unnamed defendants were handed a suspended sentence of one year and three months in prison. Together with a third, juvenile defendant, they were ordered to perform 200 hours of community work.
Court spokeswoman Carmen Schlosser said the adult defendants had claimed they wanted to draw attention to the conflict in Gaza and had apologized for their actions.
But the American Jewish Committee Berlin said Friday the Wuppertal court’s ruling effectively whitewashed anti-Semitic acts.

I can’t believe why there are yidden living in the evil, blood drenched Germany. Have we forgotten what it’s willing and compliant citizens did to our children, parents and grandparents hy”d.
It comes to no surprise how the ugly termites are coming out of the ground in Germany, France, England, Ukraine, Denmark, Holland, Greece etc.
Its time that we yodden leave these countries bare of Yidden. Let thrse antisemitic dogs feel what doom waits them when we are gone from their countries.
Hashem is preparing us for the ultimate world exodus.
