نقلاً عن “Antizionismus”-Beschluss – Niedersächsische Linke will mit jüdischen Verbänden sprechen

News Brief: The Left Party in Lower Saxony has pledged to engage with Jewish organizations following criticism of its recent anti-Zionism resolution, which has been condemned for its language and implications.

In a statement, the Lower Saxony Left Party acknowledged that the fight against anti-Semitism is a cornerstone of leftist politics, alongside the condemnation of war crimes. The party admitted that its recent resolution failed to clearly articulate these principles. The contentious document refers to a rejection of ‘real existing Zionism’ and accuses the Israeli government of committing genocide in Gaza. The federal party leadership distanced itself from the resolution, leading to the resignation of Brandenburg’s anti-Semitism commissioner, Büttner, from the party. The President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Schuster, criticized the Left Party for providing a platform for anti-Semitism.
