Left party in turmoil: Schwerdtner warns of anti -Semitism and genocide!

Ines Schwerdtner, candidate for the chair of the Left Party, has clearly positioned herself to anti -Semitism and the conflict in the Middle East after a heated start at the state party conference in Berlin. "We criticize and condemn every anti-Semitism," she said, at the same time emphasizing that no crime of Hamas could justify the humanitarian disasters that Israel caused in the Gaza and Lebanon conflict. These statements were made before the impending federal party conference, in which the party is aiming for a new start.

The debate about Israel's critical attitude is headed by some district associations in which Israel's military campaign against the Palestinians is called genocide. The outgoing party leader Janine Wissler thought it made sense not to say goodbye to this wording. The heated discussions at the state party conference even led to prominent party members left the room protesting. Meanwhile, well -known members of the Berlin State Association are considering to even step out in the event of an unfortunate course of the Federal Party. Schwerdtner is aiming for the party chairman at the Federal Party Congress in Halle (Saale), supported by Jan van Aken, who runs as a possible co-chair.
