A senior German government official accused the opposition far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party of helping make anti-Semitism “presentable” again in Germany by challenging a longtime consensus about how to deal with its Nazi past.
Felix Klein, who holds a newly created government post tasked with fighting anti-Semitism, said in remarks to online newsite watson.de on Thursday that the AfD tolerated party members calling for a new “culture of remembrance”.
“I don’t want to say the AfD is anti-Semitic, per se, but it tolerates representatives who are demanding a new policy of remembrance,” he said. “They initiated this discussion about drawing a line (under the Holocaust) and that is very dangerous because it helps make anti-Semitism presentable again.”
The AfD had no immediate comment on Klein’s comments.

Antisemitism, “the world’s second-oldest mortal sin.” can come from the right or the left. But in this last century or so, it has usually come (most dangerously, anyway) from the left (Nazis in the 1930/40’s era, Communist regimes, and the D party controllers (SorozNazi and his various puppets like Obammy etc).
Being alert to any possible Nazism on the right... FINE!
Being alert to any more Nazism on the left... ESSENTIAL, too!
.....
Just more slandering of the AfD.
The people who just let a million military age Jew-hating Muslim men into Germany call those who tried to stop them “anti-Semites”. With friends like those, European Jews don’t need (more) enemies.
A couple of million screaming crazed moslems out there in Doucheland, but the _problem_ is actually the people who wish they wouldn’t flood the nation with even more.
Got it.
Very true.
This is an ugly smear on the AfD. The AfD is about the equivalent to the Tea Party.
I had to snicker at that. If muzzies were not included I doubt there would be any need for a "data base".
The AfD is honestly a party of cranks and misfits
look up the Prinz von Tengernsee for a good example
Trump’s fault...
Ugh. Welcoming muslim antisemitic proxies is the very way of the left to make antisemitism great again
Once again leftist germans feed Germans to the wolves only to
complain later that the wolves grew strong because the German “meat” fed them too well and went to kill leftists
You are much closer to this than me but can you define “anti-semitism” to me.
I was raised in the old south of the USA and raised throughout our great land.
I do not understand the hatred of the Jewish people.
Thanks
The AfD leadership as in Alexander Gauland was in the forefront of criticizing the new Karl Marx statue in Trier paid for by the Peoples Republic of China.
Guess that’s “Anti-Semitic” or perhaps to put in the Orwellian terms of what many European insider politicians are really trying to say:
“Anti-Islamic is Anti-Semitic”
More liberal tripe. Project it on conservative people and not the islamic hoards invading the country.
Liberals are horrible people.
JoMa
Yup. Not a peep over how “anti-Semitic” the “refugees” are that they let flood Europe. Or how racist and anti-Semitic the Palestinians are.
The Maoists of Europe (meaning Europe's ruling class) won't even acknowledge the elephant in the room...let alone talk about it.
Is it Germany's "far right" who've made Sweden the rape capital of Europe,Comrade Merkel?
And BTW...to any Freeper who tends not to follow European news remember this: European politicians and the European press toss around the term "far right" like chimps fling their $hit.Anyone who believes in *real* borders...anyone who refuses to believe that "all cultures are equal"...anyone who disagrees with the Mayor of Cologne's advise that German women should dress more modestly to avoid being raped by 9th Century knuckledragging moslems...is labeled "far right" in Europe.
And BTW,this same crowd refuses to acknowledge the existence of a "far left" in Europe...or anywhere else.
>> The AfD is honestly a party of cranks and misfits <<
Any insurgent political move will have plenty of cranks and misfits. Exactly how long have yuo been on FR?
Anti Semitism in Europe is a term equivalent to Racism in the USA. One is either a Leftist and pure or one is a conservative and thus AntiSemitic/Racist and every other evil thing.
Suff terms as “Anti Semitic” in leftspeak are definitional, not descriptive.
Islam is the problem. The AfD is NOT the problem.
