Henryk Marcin Broder (born 20 August 1946), self-designation Henryk Modest Broder, is a Polish-born German journalist, author, and television personality.
Broder is especially interested in Vergangenheitsbewältigung, Islam, Israel, and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. He sees a close relationship between German criticism of Israel's policies and antisemitism.[1]
Views
Ever since Operation Entebbe, Broder grew more and more critical of the German approach towards Israel, and what Broder sees as appeasement towards Islamic threats. In Broder's opinion, anti-Zionism is in essence antisemitic.[2]
Broder is also associated with the blog Politically Incorrect and the counter-jihad movement.[3]
Accusation of antisemitism
In 2006 a German court sentenced Broder to a term in prison after he had publicly accused anti-Zionists like the Dutch-German Jew Hajo Meyer and Abraham Melzer for their putative "capacities for applied Judeophobia" (Kapazitäten für angewandte Judäophobie) because they had compared the Israeli occupation policy to measures taken by the Nazis.[4][5] On appeal, a court mostly cleared Broder, stating that there was no such thing as "Jewish anti-Semitism."[6]
Reception
Broders attitude is controversial. Stefan Niggemeier wrote in the context of right-wing populist statements: "Henryk M. Broder is also a victim of Thilo Sarrazin. For years he has been striving to become the republic's chief provocateur."[7]

Kein Mensch geht hin und sagt: Ich bin Antisemit. Es gibt keinen Antizionismus, der seinen Ursprung nicht im Antisemitismus hätte ...Dass in einer aufgeklärten Diskussion alle Positionen vertreten werden können, ist selbstverständlich. Kritik an Israel ist vollkommen selbstverständlich." (Antizionism is for Jews and non-Jews just a pretext to present antisemitism in a political aseptical version. Nobody just comes around saying "I am an antisemite." There is no Antizionism which doesn't have its origin in antisemitism [...] It's a matter of course that in an enlightened argument any position can be held. Criticism of Israel is a matter of course.)
