Overview
- The Bundestag is set to vote on a resolution titled 'Never Again is Now,' which seeks to protect Jewish life in Germany amid rising antisemitism.
- The resolution aligns with the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism, which critics argue could stifle legitimate criticism of Israel.
- Cultural and academic sectors express concerns that the resolution could lead to a restriction of artistic and scientific freedoms.
- Critics, including prominent intellectuals and organizations, warn that linking state funding to an antisemitism assessment could lead to censorship.
- Despite internal opposition from some SPD and Green Party members, the resolution is likely to pass, driven by the symbolic timing of its release.
