DW Interview with Charlotte Knobloch

The Central Council for Jews in Germany called the election outcome "alarming" and accused German politicians of failing to adequately combat the far-right. "The results of the election are dismaying and a sign of political bankruptcy," the council's president, Charlotte Knobloch, said in a statement. Politicians faced the same situation two years ago, after the right-wing NPD won seats in Saxony's legislature. For a short period, politicians were outspoken in addressing the problem. But the debate quickly died off.
"In Germany, people either talk about right-wing extremism hysterically or not at all," author Staud said. He said the current debate would also soon wane. "This will have disastrous implications in the long-term," Staud said. "We are lacking a calm, factual and consistent discussion on this issue."

Well said Mrs. Knobloch! Great point why must Jews always be asked to defend Israels actions? People never see the difference between the state and the people. Furthermore, anti Israel is a direct result of antisemitism. Last century it was ok to say I hate Jews. Now it is ok to say I hate Israel.

New words same message, same hate. Why?

@Xccyss Also, ich mag Charlotte Knobloch! Sie ist eine sehr nette Frau, die halkt leider ueber ekelerregende Zustä#nde und Vorfaelle sprechen muss --- als Juedin ist es ihr gutes Recvht, diejenigen zu kritisieren, die Juden (wie auch immer) angreifen! Was soll daran schlecht sein? Mir ist sie total sympathisch!
