After 17 years, trial for anti-semitic neo nazi starts

in #antisemitism7 years ago

Took Germany 17 years to finally bring to trial the neo-nazi who bombed a commuter rail station targetting Jewish immigrants.

But sure, let's keep talking about this 'new antisemitism' which is cynically used to sweep racist attacks by German neo-nazis and drummed up to incite against immgiration policies. Awaiting a more robust combat against anti-semitism, especially deriving from right wing underground neo-Nazi parties.

'One outcome of the political controversy, and the failure of the justice system to solve the Düsseldorf case, was a movement to ban the far-right NPD party, then represented in a string of German regional parliaments.

The attempt failed when the country's highest tribunal, the Federal Constitutional Court, threw out the petition based on major procedural problems.'
