    The AfD party’s platform has long included support for a ban on kosher slaughter in Germany, as well as the import and sale of kosher meat, in line with its opposition to halal, or Islamic ritual slaughter.

    A Jewish group supporting the party announced its incorporation in October, and was swiftly condemned by other German Jewish groups.

    “Enabling kosher slaughter is important for Jews, but not essential for survival,” the Jewish support group, calling itself Jews in the AfD, said in a statement that was posted on social media. “Therefore we are willing to compromise, especially because a complete prohibition of shechita would most likely gain the AfD many votes.” Shechita is the Hebrew word referring to Jewish ritual slaughter.

    The statement continued that the group would only agree to a ban if the government did impose restrictions on importing kosher meat.

    The statement added that banning ritual male circumcision, another part of the party’s platform, is “non-negotiable,” as it is “indispensable for Jewish life in Germany.”

    Will Trump do the same? Ban Kosher? He was elected by the same Ultra Right. Will EDUCATED Yiden support him on this too like they did on Deportations, Separating Families?

    Sad. They’ve put political idealogy above their yiddishkeit and what is good for themselves and for their continued freedom to practice their faith, just like the MAGA Fake News Jews following Trump and hating and cursing other yiddin who are loyal to Yiddishkeit and not Trumpkeit.

    we should realize that the reform movement started in Germany by Jews who wanted to ingrain themselves with the goyim. They became the self hating Jews who (according to R. Avigdor Miller tz”l) caused the holocaust….
