Statement von 15 israelischen zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen, 12.09.2024 (engl. Version)
As human rights and civil society organizations based in Israel, striving to promote and protect the rights of all people in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory, we follow with great concern deliberations among the leading German parties SPD, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, FDP and CDU/CSU about a joint resolution on antisemitism, which may be tabled ahead of the first commemoration of 7 October.
We are deeply alarmed by the repressive character and divisive implications of a draft for this resolution, which has provoked fierce criticism from numerous scholars, artists and civil society organizations in Germany and would harm our organizations and human rights work.
Indeed, since 7 October 2023, antisemitism has sharply increased. This disturbing global trend needs to be countered and reversed, also in Germany. However, the fight against antisemitism should be inclusive and embedded into a universal struggle against all forms of racism. Regrettably, in both tone and content, the draft resolution goes in the opposite direction.
