Debate about Israel
Left for party exclusion of the anti -Semitism officer
Former Linke member of the Landtag Büttner has been anti-Semitism officer since 2024. There is not only criticism of him on the Internet, but also in his own party.
The Brandenburg anti -Semitism representative Andreas Büttner is increasingly hostile to Israel because of his attitude – now several leftists are calling for his exclusion from the party. Nine members from several countries accuse the party friend of violations of the party line. Büttner defends himself against the criticism he receives because he insures Israel his solidarity.
“For me, the focus must be on what it means when Jews are attacked in Brandenburg because the Israeli government makes decisions that do not make people,” said Büttner of the German Press Agency. In his view, the Israeli government made many mistakes, but it is not about it to criticize this. Among other things, he is referred to as a Zionist pig, children’s murderer and genocide denier on social networks.
Application for party exclusion
The nine members who are now demanding their exclusion come from Brandenburg, Baden-Württemberg, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. “Andreas Büttner is consistently noticeable on social media with statements regarding the Middle East conflict, in which he not only clearly violates applicable party resolutions, but also also ignores the applicable international law in his argumentations,” says the application that is available to the German Press Agency.
One of several examples is a contribution to Büttner on Portal X: “The recognition of a state of Palestine would be the most wrong step that could be taken,” he posted there. The application states that with its party program, the left is “clearly and irrevocably to the side of suppressed peoples”. In addition, the nine members turn against criticizing the United Nations aid organization for Palestine refugees in the Middle East (UNRWA). Israel accuses the organization of being infiltrated by Islamist Hamas.

The anti -Semitism representative defended his course. “The resolutions of the party bind the party executive, but not every single member,” he told the “Tagesspiegel”. “Of course, members can have their own positions.” Büttner criticized the party leadership: “I told the party leadership in October that I find it important if the party executive is composed of the Central Council of Jews,” he said. “Nothing comes from the party executive.”
The left demanded in May at its federal party conference: “Stop displacement and famine in Gaza – realize international law!” Among other things, the decision states that the starvation of the civilian population is a method of accelerating the destruction of all the livelihoods of the Palestinians. At the same time, the left turns against anti -Semitism.
