Brandenburg discusses: Anti -Semitism and Israel's right to exist!

Brandenburg, Deutschland - In Brandenburg, the topics of anti -Semitism and the support of Israel are currently at the top of the political agenda. The state parliament has recently discussed intensive discussion about a controversial condition for naturalization. This states that a commitment to Israel's right to exist since June 2023 is a prerequisite for naturalization in Brandenburg, such as the Süddeutsche Zeitung . Interior Minister René Wilke made it clear that not all decisions of the Israeli government have to be accepted.

Another focus of the debate was the alarming increase in anti -Semitic incidents. Anti -Semitism representative Andreas Büttner stated that he was at a historic high. A particularly dark chapter is characterized by the recent acts of violence in the Middle East: Around 1,200 people were killed in an attack by Hamas in Israel and over 250 were taken hostage. In Gaza, the health authority reported more than 54,000 deaths among which both fighters and civilians are.

political reactions and demands

The CDU parliamentary group called for clear solidarity with Israel and increased protective measures for Jewish institutions in the state parliament. MP Kristy Augustin emphasized the urgency not to mention. However, the application of the CDU found no majority, which illustrates the tensions within the political landscape.

Wilke also referred to the disagreements in Europe, where several EU countries argue against the classification of the Iranian revolutionary guards as a terrorist organization. In this context, BSW parliamentary group leader Niels-Olaf Lüders called for a more differentiated discussion about Israel's law on self-defense.

In addition, the draft calls for strict controls in the financial support of organizations that promote anti-Semitism or support the BDS movement. Special measures should also be introduced in the education sector to strengthen universities and schools in combating anti -Semitic incidents.

racism and anti -Semitism in focus

In the resolution, attention is also paid to anti -Semitism among foreigners and immigrants, especially from North Africa and the Middle East. The required foreign policy measures include the support of the security interests of Israel and the recognition of his right to self -defense, which initiates an intensive debate about German foreign policy.

The various aspects of anti -Semitism are also evident in public life. Critical voices that are directed against Israel and the actions of the Israeli government must be carefully distinguished from actual anti -Semitism. It is essential that a well-founded discussion about anti-Semitism and the limits of criticism of Israel will take place, as the Central Council of Jews emphasizes.

The current debate about anti -Semitism and political support for Israel is an important step to not only protect Jewish life in Germany, but also to promote actively. In a country that is aware of its past, responsibility lies on all shoulders to shape solidarity together and to make discrimination against all kinds.
