"New York Times" (USA)

"The attacker's action bears a striking resemblance to the rampage of a right-wing extremist more than six months ago against two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, which streamed its killings live on social media. 51 people died in the attack, including the Christchurch killer Halle's attackers set themselves up in a 35-minute video full of shots, chaos and hateful language. "

"Leipziger Volkszeitung"

"In Halle, the Identitarian Movement operates a house in the middle of the city - the Identitarian Movement, which the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution classified as clearly right-wing in the summer and which maintains contacts with parts of the AfD, in Saxony-Anhalt - to be more precise: in Tröglitz - It was also where a refugee shelter burned down and the brave mayor Markus Nierth resigned in the spring of 2015. The state government has put the dangers of the right side into perspective again and again under the impression of the strengthening of the AfD - fatally entire country The militancy of the right-wing extremist scene is growing, it is becoming more and more blatant and sometimes even infiltrates the security authorities.

"Because of liberal values, Jews everywhere become the first target of White Suprematists." The shots at the synagogue in East Germany were not only an anti-Semitic attack, they were also an attack on immigration and values ​​associated with Jews. "

"Il Corriere della Sera" (Italy)

"Nobody is astonished by the fact that the most brutal attack of recent years happened here, and over the past few days the authorities had warned the Jewish communities in the region to warn them of the risk of potential attacks, which was not just an ordinariness for the upcoming one Holiday Yom Kippur, but a consequence of the wind that blows in this country - in Saxony, which since the day of reunification, stands for an unsolved problem: like a permanently boiling pot full of racism, frustration and identity problems. "

"Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung"

"Martialism has so far been relegated to the realm of a lost right-wing extremist subculture, but it does not exist in the Federal Republic of Germany that it dares to turn its hiding places into words and words. (...) Sad truth is, that right-wing extremist and anti-Semitic perpetrators in Germany have been able to move freely for years into the dregs of society, a dregs that not only in Saxony-Anhalt scents political morning air.

"Only an armored door prevented Stephan B. from dousing the Jewish feast of Yom Kippur and reopening the most dramatic wound in German identity, even though it missed its main target, yesterday's assassination of the Halle Synagogue Signal that can no longer be ignored: the fire of intolerance has returned to burn in our countries with an unprecedented force - Halle's is not an isolated case - and you can not reduce it to an episode of madness instead of the gravest threat of our democracies.
