Salon de la Critique in the Koeppenhaus

The co-founder of the climate movement "Extinction Rebellion" relativises the Shoah in major newspapers, some Fridays for Future activists celebrate Palestinian terrorists as icons and an anti-imperialist youth group calls for a "climate intifada". Meanwhile, BDS, the anti-Israeli boycott movement, is also trying to hijack the issue of climate protection.

One thing is clear: there are also repeated anti-Semitic incidents in the climate movement. At the same time, accusations of anti-Semitism are being instrumentalised by the right-wing fringe to discredit the climate movement as a whole. But there are also voices in the climate movement that consistently and credibly position themselves against all forms of anti-Semitism.
