A large part of the German political class seems to have come down with the chronic affliction of the US Democratic Party, trying fecklessly to imitate Republican positions instead of fighting for their own side. On the refugee and other immigration issues, the current nonsense the Social Democrats, the Greens, and the Christian Democratic Union are promoting will strengthen the xenophobic appeal of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). The Left Party (Die Linke) have limited clout nationally, but they have also been known to indulge xenophobic sentiments, now with a split-off electoral list headed by Sarah Wagenknecht. It’s a disturbing picture overall.
Does your support for refugees extend to the Jewish refugees that fled the vicious, violent antisemitism of Europe and the Arab World to British Mandate Palestine and then the state of Israel? Or do you make an exception when it's Jews?
