Kathrin Göring-Eckardt, group leader of Greens in Bundestag, has spoken in a newspaper interview for more use against anti-Semitism – even among Muslims. The picture on Sunday said Göring-Eckardt: “You have to talk about right antisemitism and Islamophobia, but you also have to talk about anti-Semitism among Muslims and Arab-born migrants. So far we have done too little. “

It is impossible to leave problems such as antisemitism in society to “politicians like Jens Spahn or AfD”, Göring-Eckardt said furr. The AfD abuse fight against anti-Semitism “to be undisturbed islamophob. That’s disgusting. “
The green politician also spoke to newspaper about Israel’s right to exist: whoever wants to promote integration must make it clear that recognition of this right of existence is “non-negotiable”. Anti-Semitism is also not tolerated in form of hostility to Israel.
Anti-Semitic slogans would have to be sanctioned in Germany, not depending on origin of authors, demanded Göring-Eckardt. The criminal law must be fully exploited. The Bundestag group chief also considered possibility of expulsion for perpetrators of particularly serious offences which had only been granted a right of residence. It is also clear, however, “that you cannot deport anyone if it is a danger to life. Then punishment must be served in this country. “
According to report, Göring-Eckardt also spoke out for a better information-about anti-Semitism: policy needed an accurate situation on antisemitischeStraftaten and identity of perpetrators. It should also be examined wher general offences such as bodily injury or damage to property would have an anti-Semitic background.
