    Nope, they don’t and they are extremely under attack by the media for it.

    Edit: To clarify, they’re also only coming around to it very slowly and late, so now both sides dislike them. It’s a weird place to be for many german leftist who have defended Israel against far-right antisemitic (inaccurate) propaganda for years, while also continuously sticking up for the Palestinians and leveling accurate allegations at the israeli government.

    Non-muslim pro-palestinian movements in Germany have their roots deep inside the left political spectrum but have had a hard time getting anywhere politically because any allegation of antisemitism amounted to political suicide and Germans would tuck tails and run as soon as any israeli rightwinger would use the antisemitism-cudgel. The fear to be called a Nazi is rooted extremely deep in our society, because it’s seen as a stain you can never ever get rid of again once those allegations have been made and it is deeply drilled into each and everyone of us, that being seen as a Nazi is about the worst thing you can be, forever and always.
