A political commentator argues that German right-wingers and conservatives obsessively attack the Left Party, while the Left focuses its criticism on the Israeli government, and that both reflexes are identical. In each case, he writes, more urgent and dangerous problems, such as the situation in Saxony-Anhalt, are ignored so that political actors can work off their own enemy image instead of addressing real issues.
Why now: The Israeli government's conduct and the role of the Left Party are prominent points of conflict in current German political debate.
