historical background

The anti-Semitic tendencies In the incident, shadow shadows on a dark story in which Jews in Nazi Germany were prohibited from access to many shops and institutions by the late 1930s. The current concerns are increased by the increasingly aggressive activities of movements such as the BDS. The Tagesspiegel reports that the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Boycott, Divestment and sanctions) classified as an extremist suspicion.

This movement, which was founded in 2005, calls for a comprehensive israelization of Israel in economic, cultural, diplomatic and political terms. Critics see BDS an instrument that is not only directed against Israeli politics, but also bears anti -Semitic features. The Federal Center for Political Education explains that the demands of the BDS can be interpreted as a threat to Israel's existence.

political reactions

The BDS movement already convicted the BDS movement as anti-Semitic in 2019 and asked the Federal Government as well as cities and municipalities not to support any movements of the movement. After the attack by Hamas on Israel in October 2023, there was an anti-Israel gatherings in which BDS-close groups took part. This has drawn attention to the special social sensitivity on the subject of hostility to Jews in Germany.

In addition to the current events, a report by the Protection of the Constitution of 2023 shows that there are "sufficiently important actual indications" that BDS violates the idea of ​​international understanding. The Jewish general emphasizes that such incidents must not be viewed in isolation and that the social discourse on anti-Semitism and its different forms of manifestation is more necessary.

summarizing it becomes clear that the society faces a challenge. The current debate about anti-Semitic statements and the BDS campaign must be actively and openly led to reduce prejudices and to promote diversity in Brandenburg.
