How Germany's Left Party is split over anti-Zionism

The German Left Party is split after a regional group passed a resolution "against Zionism." Some fear a rise in antisemitism, while others stress that legitimate criticism of Israel's policies and actions in the Middle East has to be allowed.  

This video contains an incorrect English translation of a German quote from the Left Party leader for Lower Saxony, Torben Peters at the seven-minute mark. 

Peters actually says: "I think it's simply a case of conflicting viewpoints — not just within the Left Party but also within the broader German debate."  In the interview, he went on to say, "I think the intensity of the debate is a result of us not having had this discussion enough."

We apologize for this error.
