He is pulling the emergency cord and leaving the party Die Linke. In the WI-Talk, Andreas Büttner, Antisemitism Commissioner of the State of Brandenburg, speaks about the obvious — and about the deeper — reasons for this step. He describes a structural problem the party has with antisemitism: the refusal to name certain forms of Jew-hatred clearly, the relativisation of Jewish perspectives and a political approach to Zionism that calls Jewish self-determination into question. We talk about what Büttner’s break with the party says about the state of the left and whether it is still a political home for democrats at all. A conversation about antisemitism, political repression and the political defining-away of real Jew-hatred.
Moderation: Nelly Eliasberg, WerteInitiative e.V.
