They claim to be anti Zionist and it sounds like their leaders oppose the occupation, support icj case, and support equal rights for all. https://tribunemag.co.uk/2024/11/anti-zionist-israeli-mp-i-will-never-surrender
If the psl as an anti imperialist party can exist in the US the imperial core, it would make sense that an anti-zionist party could exist even in a state built on Zionism. There were Jewish people there even before the British occupation, let alone it's recognition by the UN.
It sounds like they made a tactical choice to use their privilege to leverage whatever political power they can get to stop the oppression.
The Left Party of Germany could do the same.
I evaluate political parties based on policies they promote and what they're leadership says. They're leadership conflates anti Zionism with anti semitism, Hadash doesn't. Even the DSA in the US doesn't do that.
Political parties evolve over time so in order to remain principled, we must remain up to date on where they stand.
So unfortunately while die linke might be able to do the same, they don't.
To add to that: the alegedly communist (afaik) head of the party, ines schwerdtner, condemned israels attacks months before anyone in german politics I think.
As someone who participates in the german left: we just need people to join and voice their opinion loud and often and it will be heard.
That said, I'm glad when representative democracy goes away. Its a shitshow that breeds assholes.
Its very important to know that germany is vilely anticommunist and people got killed for being leftist, not even communist. A communist party has been outlawed and dismantled while fascist parties continue to work, even after official reports that condemn them as fascist.
Germany has always been a fascist country. Just a little less obvious.
