Anúncio

Henryk Marcin Broder (born 20 August 1946), self-designation Henryk Modest Broder, is a Polish-born German journalist, author, and television personality. He was born into a Jewish family in Katowice, Poland.

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.

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.

Broder is also associated with the blog Politically Incorrect and the counter-jihad movement.

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. On appeal, a court mostly cleared Broder, stating that there was such a thing as "Jewish anti-Semitism."
