I know I'm not well-informed on German politics but wasn't Die Linke the left wing party?

[-] trompete@hexbear.net 24 points 4 days ago

They just kicked out a pro-Palestine activist, Ramsis Kilani:

The Landesschiedskommission is thus following the logic of unconditional support for the State of Israel, in accordance with German Staatsräson, which it has put above the right to existence of and equal rights for Palestinian people.

The current development of the mass killing of the Palestinian civil population, which has also been confirmed by Amnesty International as a genocide, was given no import in the judgement of the context of my statements.

So Die Linke thinks Israel has a right to exist, and that armed resistance against a genocide is illegitimate, and anybody who disagrees with that gets thrown out.

So "Red Hitler" isn't too far off here.

Ah, if this is the case then Die Linke has gone a bit zu rechts since I last read about them. Is there a new left-wing successor to them yet? As I recall German parties can spring up fairly quickly.

They have been going into "respectability" politics for a while, which caused huge infighting and stagnation inside the party. The Russo-Ukranian war was the last straw and they purged the more radical and anti-west members of Die Linke. Which also included most pro-palestine officials since germany is the birth place of the "AKSHUALLY the tankie putinlovers far left is the true face of antisemitism" since at least like the 70s when the GDR and the RAF became very openly pro-palestine. One of the most infamous german terror attacks were the Munich Olympia Massacre and the Lufthansa kidnapping during the "German Autumn", and what a bizarre coincidence both were motivated by pro-Palestinian feelings/done by Palestinians.

In my defence, I am bad at recognising most logos.

I don't suppose you'd be willing to summarize? I can read bits of German when written but most spoken German or text that goes away too quickly is beyond my ability

summery is easy : He supported Palestine , he got evicted from the "left" (linke) ...

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

Could refer to the BSW, the PatSoc split from Die Linke.

[-] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 days ago

They have a very different logo. Might be a graphic from before the split but still
