How Germany’s fight against anti-Semitism is empowering the far right
"Prominent #Jewish #Australian journalist Antony Loewenstein returns to his ancestral home, #Germany, to investigate how the country’s impulse never to repeat the horrendous anti-Semitism that led to the #Holocaust has resulted in the suppression of any criticism of Israel and its actions in #Gaza.
With critics of Israel being sacked, cancelled, silenced, arrested and banned from Germany, one Jewish philosopher has called this a “McCarthyism” for the 21st century. We’ll see how in today's Germany, a nation that killed most of his family but granted him citizenship in 2011, Loewenstein is told, as a Jew, what is acceptable to say about Israel. To find out why the German authorities are so committed to stifling any criticism of Israeli actions and what it means for #democracy and #humanrights in the country, he will meet those being arrested and suffering job losses for criticising Israel, the people enforcing these laws and those on the far right claiming to support #Israel.
