But the key chart for the current debate around The Left is this: different forms of #antisemitism by political leanings (far left to far right) *in Berlin*.

It is, frankly, shocking.

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

Is German voters’ dissatisfaction with Merz known as Merzschmerz?

This whole chapter on antisemitism in Berlin (and Germany) is very interesting. Here you see "handed-down antisemitism" (ie not post-colonial or other newer forms) over time. #Berlin really stands out.

Für sachliche Politik

@sachlichepolitik.eurosky.social

"Der Berliner Wahlsieg der Linkspartei hat in der Bubble rechter und rechtsradikaler Medienaktivisten, aber auch in Teilen der Hauptstadtpresse eine regelrechte Kernschmelze ausgelöst. „Berlin am Ende“, schreibt da Felix Dachsel, Leiter des Reporterressorts des Spiegels.

Wahlsieg in Berlin: Willkommen in der islamo-sozialistischen Höllendiktatur

Der Wahlsieg der Linken löst in bürgerlichen und rechten Kreisen eine Kernschmelze aus. Doch hinter der Schmierkampagne steht ein gefährliches Kalkül.

German Centrists Are Smearing Die Linke as Antisemites

Claims that socialist party Die Linke threatens Jewish life in Berlin are shameful lies. Sadly, many desperate German politicians would rather make cheap antisemitism accusations than address the cost...

The next few days, as Germany’s governing party licks its wounds and weighs its options, could prove crucial. Register for free to learn why Friedrich Merz’s position now looks shakier than ever bit.ly/4hgeg4j

The New Arab

@thenewarab.bsky.social

Born into a Turkish family that fled the 1980 military coup, Elif Eralp is now within reach of governing Berlin after leading the left-wing Die Linke party to a historic election victory in the German capital.
