Jewish Israel critic labeled anti-Semite
By BENJAMIN WEINTHAL, THE JERUSALEM POST, BERLIN
A Cologne appeals court ruled on Tuesday that German-Jewish journalist Henryk
Broder is allowed to describe the statements of fellow Jew Evelyn
Hecht-Galinski as anti-Semitic.
"Even German courts are beginning to understand that it is not enough to be
Jewish in order not to be anti-Semitic," Broder told The Jerusalem Post by
phone. He is in Israel, covering the Gaza war for Der Spiegel's Web site.
Hecht-Galinski equates Israeli policies with Nazi Germany's, and has said that
a "Jewish-Israel lobby with its active network is extended over the world, and
thanks to America its power has become so great..."
The appeals court overturned a regional court ruling barring Broder from
labeling Hecht-Galinski's statements as anti-Semitic without citing reasons
for his assertions.
Broder's attorney Nathan Gelbart told the Post the ruling "is a victory for
freedom of speech" in Germany and "a victory over those hiding their
anti-Semitism in pretended criticism of Israel's policies."
The appeals court said Broder's criticism of Hecht-Galinski contributed to a
public discussion on Israel's policies and was protected by free speech
guarantees.
Hecht-Galinski said Broder statements defamed her character.
