speculation about why the Left is so difficult to keep the presence of anti-Semitism in consciousness.
Introduction The following text is taken during the discussions about the violent and accompanied by openly anti-Semitic slogans prevention of the film "Why Israel" by Claude Lanzmann. It was written with the intention of using a current case on the general character of the debate to reflect anti-Semitism in the Left. The analyzed to this end, examples are more or less random, their characteristics would have on other Opinions or passages can be worked out, and the conclusions are therefore describing the claim, a more general dynamics. The text is written not only with the aim to discuss some commonly neglected aspects of anti-Semitism, but it should also be suitable to the experiences that arise when trying to focus attention on anti-Semitism in the Left, to make better discussion. This should also be possible for those who do not know the details of the incidents in Hamburg.
The demonstration of the alliance on the day of the show is now gone, and the discussions were about as part of the unusual. The dominant feature of the scenery here obviously from the desire to remain equidistant to the "armed irregulars can. In the run indicated that there would be little or no involvement in the otherwise normal conditions. All outside the Alliance acted as if it was the most normal thing in the world that a demo call is supported only if the call text every word of their own position corresponds to and then if no group is involved, which elsewhere has announced once a wrong . let Attempts to launch alternative views or to create their own blocks, has not existed.
It is not surprising that the attempt to repeat the blockade, is met with little opposition. That on the day of the demo "slap anti-German" as their route with graffiti - a very clear call for renewed use of force - provided was, is, as far as I can overlook the moment, been addressed by anyone outside of the alliance group. Also felt by those who for whatever reason, always wanted to participate in the demonstration, no one called, at least to help ensure that the cinema visitors can not be filmed or photographed. In summary words about the conflicts over the left anti-Semitism is a taboo imposed that all parties involved in an "all or nothing" attitude seems to result. to make understandable why this is neither a coincidence nor is individually motivated to indecision, but a part of the substantive issue that must be taken as such, in theory seriously is the central purpose of this text.
