Catalogue question 149 · Question catalogue in force since 2024-07-01
What is an example of antisemitic behaviour?
- attending a Jewish festival
- criticising the Israeli government
- denying the Holocaust Correct
- playing football against a Jewish team.
Why — for every option
- A — Attending a Jewish festival is cultural participation, not antisemitic behaviour.
- B — Factual criticism of a government's policy — including Israel's — is covered by freedom of expression and is not inherently antisemitic.
- C — Correct: denying the Holocaust is a recognised form of antisemitism, because it disputes or trivialises the historically documented crime against humanity committed against European Jews, and is furthermore a criminal offence in Germany (§ 130(3) Criminal Code).
- D — A sporting match against a Jewish team is a normal sporting encounter, not antisemitic behaviour.
