 Summary: Academic study entitled 'Anti-Semites as a Coalition Party' concludes that virulent anti-Zionism and antisemitism are spreading rapidly throughout the German Left Party. The Feankfurter Rundschau links to the study in their report, which broke the story last week. Widespread media discussion followed, prompting angry responses from Left Party leaders and accusations of seeking votes among antisemitic groups from government coalition partners. Until now it was common wisdom that antisemitism is the exclusive province of the Right, but now there's a German academic study on the subject which shows irrefutably otherwise, and ties left-wing Israel boycott efforts to the Jew-hatred of those dreadful neo-Nazi types. |
