(Jewish Group) Bonn residents don kippahs in solidarity with Jewish attack victim
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)More than 1000 residents of the western German city of Bonn attended a rally in support of an Israeli professor who fell victim to an anti-Semitic attack. Many demonstrators showed solidarity with the Jewish community by wearing a kippah.
The rally, dubbed “Day of the Kippah,” was the brainchild of Bonn’s mayor Ashok Sridharan and took place Thursday afternoon on Bonn’s market square in the shadow of the town hall and cathedral.
A large crowd of residents of all ages attended, many of them wearing kippahs, a flat, circular cap traditionally worn by Jewish men, reported the Rheinische Post newspaper on Thursday.
“The people of Bonn have given a signal today: against anti-Semitism and racism, for tolerance and open-mindedness,” tweeted the mayor. “Thank you Bonn!”
