'Hyperzionism': How Germany's conflation of antisemitism and anti-Zionism allowed a far-right return

In the week leading up to Germany's historic elections, a supporter of pro- Israel politician Karoline Preisler wrote that they had “experienced antisemitism up close” after being confronted by a pro- Palestine activist on the U-Bahn in Berlin. Preisler, a Free Democratic Party (FDP) politician and lawyer known for her provocative one-woman counterprotests at pro-Palestine demonstrations, posted the video to X. In it, she is seen brandishing an English sign reading “Intifada is a call to violence” at two men she called “racist white terror supporters”.
