Jewish schoolchildren increasingly are suffering anti-Semitic attacks in Berlin public schools, observers said.

Most incidents involve either neo-Nazis or Muslim pupils, according to a report Thursday in Der Spiegel Online magazine.

The word “Jew” increasingly is used as a curse, the report said.

Barbara Witting, director of the Jewish High School in Berlin, said children have been transferring to the Jewish school to avoid discrimination in public schools.

One recent transfer from a section of Berlin with a large Arab population reported that her daily walk to school had become an obstacle course, with young Arab boys following her, spitting and cursing.

Before transferring, the 14-year-old had police protection on her way to school.

The problem appears to be on the rise both in right-wing and Islamic circles.

The Berlin Senate’s study on school violence in 2004-2005 cited 62 reported right-wing extremist incidents, up from 39 the previous year.
