Kurzfassung:
Traces the complex relations between Germany and Israel from the 1960s to 2004, focusing on the development of Left radical anti-Zionism in Germany. Distinguishes between five different types of antisemitism: antisemitism rooted in the European anti-Judaism of the Nazi period; neo-liberal antisemitism of the middle-class; neo-Nazism of adolescents; imported Islamic antisemitism; and Left-wing antisemitism deriving from anti-globalization, anti-Americanism, and anti-Israel groups, which are closely examined. The Left was not always infused with anti-Israel sentiments. With the reparations deal in the early 1950s a process of normalization began. But after 1967 an anti-Zionist worldview developed within the New Left in Germany which identified with the PLO. In 1982 the Middle-East debate became more acute; Israelis were viewed as "Nazis" and the Palestinians became the "new Jews". Since the outbreak of the Al-Aksa Intifada in 2000, the German pro-Palestinian front intensified, adopting radical Islamic ideology. Concludes with the 2004 anti-Zionist campaign of peace movements, which organized the conference "Stop the Wall" in which 20 organizations participated.
