In a recent debate held at the Frankfurt Jewish community center, local politicians from various parties, including CDU, FDP, SPD, Greens, and Volt, discussed the issue of antisemitism within political parties. The event focused on the effectiveness of parties in combating antisemitism, especially in light of recent demonstrations against Israel in the city. The organizers notably excluded the Left Party from the discussion, citing their contentious stance as part of the antisemitism problem.

The participating politicians were questioned about their definitions of antisemitism and specific measures they planned to implement to ensure the safety of the Jewish community in Frankfurt. Moderated by Pola Sarah Nathusius, the discussion aimed at understanding how these parties view their responsibility in fighting hate and promoting support for Jewish residents, especially against the backdrop of rising incidents of antisemitism in Germany.

This discussion marks the second event of its kind organized by the Jewish community to engage with political representatives. During the previous Bundestag election, a Left Party politician, Michael Müller, participated, which raises questions about the shifting dynamics and perceptions regarding political engagement with antisemitism in contemporary German politics.
