A sign in a German shop banning Jews drew outrage from locals and officials and was compared to messages seen on German streets during the Third Reich.

“JEWS are banned from here!!!!,” read the sign in Flensburg, which has since been taken down after a number of complaints to police. “Nothing personal. Not even antisemitism. I just can’t stand you.”

Israeli Ambassador to Germany Ron Prosor wrote Thursday on X that “The 1930s are back,” expressing hopes that Jews and all other groups stay away from the store. “It’s the same old hatred, just in a different font.”

“It was never about Zionism. It was always about Jewish life. And it never ends harmlessly,” added Prosor.

Germany’s antisemitism commissioner Felix Klein told Die Welt that “this is antisemitism in its purest form, and of course, there are direct references to the Nazi era, when Jews were boycotted and there were many such signs.”

German Education Minister Karin Prien, who is Jewish, denounced the “blatant antisemitism”........
