For starters, an antisemitic bureaucrat (so the courts decided) is in charge of the fight against antisemitism.
The Green party-dominated government in the southern German state of Baden-Württemberg (B-W) has been running an antisemitic campaign against Israel since Hamas massacred nearly 1,200 people on October 7. The bill of particulars against the B-W government of the party’s governor Winfried Kretschmann is long.
The state’s scandal-plagued commissioner tasked with fighting antisemitism, Michael Blume, told the German wire service dpa in May that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is doing the fight against antisemitism a disservice with his behavior. Blume added, “We clearly notice that Israel-related antisemitism is increasing sharply.”
