German antisemitism monitor slams AfD for motion banning kosher slaughter – Felix Klein calls AfD motion to ban religious slaughter in Germany ‘fundamental attack on Jewish life.’ | Israel National News

Germany’s antisemitism commissioner Felix Klein slammed right-wing populist party AfD’s legislation to ban religious slaughter in Germany as an affront to the fundamental rights of the Jewish community.
“The motion by the AfD parliamentary group to ban religious slaughter in Germany is a fundamental attack on Jewish life in Germany,” said Klein, according to RND.
“If Jews are to be restricted in their religious practice, this constitutes an encroachment on religious freedom. The last time that [kosher slaughter] was banned in Germany was by National Socialist legislation in April 1933.”
