"Antisemitism in the climate movement" lecture by Nicholas Potter
The co-founder of the climate movement "Extinction Rebellion" relativizes 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 instrumentalized 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 anti-Semitism.
Nicholas Potter is a British journalist and writes for newspapers such as taz, Jüdische Allgemeine and Jungle World. He is co-editor of the anthology "Judenhass Underground: Antisemitismus in emanzipatorischen Subkulturen und Bewegungen" published in 2023
