Germany should take anti-Semitic tendencies among its Muslim population seriously, Turkish-German Green party leader Cem Özdemir warned in an interview with daily Frankfurter Rundschau on Monday.
"We must unfortunately acknowledge that there are anti-Semitic mindsets not only in the right-wing or among the so-called left-wing anti-imperialists, but also in the Muslim community – particularly among male Arabic, Turkish and Kurdish youths," Özdemir, the country's first leader of a major political party with Turkish roots, told the paper.
These young men feel "marginalised" in German society and are identifying with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he told the paper.
