Berlin (dpa) - The President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, assumes that the AfD is "particularly pro-Israeli" only for tactical reasons.

“It's not just cheap.

That is despicable.

The AfD's interest in Jews does not go beyond using us as a fig leaf for one's own demagogy, ”said Schuster in an interview with the“ Süddeutsche Zeitung ”(Wednesday).

"If a few, very few, Jewish people make themselves available as a group called" Jews in the AfD ", then at least that refutes the old prejudice that all Jews are smart."

According to Schuster, the Central Council is not in talks with the party.

"If leading politicians of this party demand a" turn in the politics of memory by 180 degrees ", insult the Holocaust memorial as a" memorial of shame "and describe the Nazi era as" bird shit ", there is no basis for it," said Schuster.

In his opinion, the AfD is "only destructive and directed against this democracy".
