Need a Sunday #leftist read? Try this German #communist in-depth critique of #antisemitism on the #left.
"As critical communists who are active in the international radical left and are part
of alliances and campaigns, we see the need to take a stand on the current anti-
Semitic fervour within the German and global left. The criticism of anti-Semitism
within the left, which was still much more present at the beginning of the century,
seems to have faded away. We want to take this as an opportunity to criticise
these current developments within the left and explain why we consider an
ideology-critical, anti-authoritarian and anti-national left to be necessary. At the
same time, we are experiencing a pretended form of combating anti-Semitism
and solidarity with Israel by state bodies and parts of the ‘majority society’, which
are full of instrumentalisation and even open racism. We would also like to
comment on this.
However, it is not our intention in this statement to analyse individual Islamist
structures, give military tactical advice or suggest an adequate solution for the
conflict. We are aware that the space in which the current anti-Semitic fervour is
spreading is also a reaction to the war waged by the Israeli army in Gaza. This
has cost the lives of tens of thousands of people, including many civilians, and
destroyed large parts of the region. We mourn the dead and stand in solidarity
with the suffering population of Gaza. For an emancipatory left, it is also
necessary to support those structures in Gaza that are fighting for the prospect
of a good and self-determined life and against Hamas' reign of terror and
reactionary images of society, for example by campaigning for their rights as
workers, women or queers. ..."
