A quarrel has broken out within the Left Party over its relationship to Israel. Again and again, members of the party have engaged in one-sided rants against the Jewish state. Now the quarrel is out in the open. Senior figure Gregor Gysi has stated that the opposition to Israel must stop and that solidarity is the far more applicable position for a German party.On the one side stand Gysi and the party's reform wing, on the other the old-style proponents of East German foreign policy, which at the time branded Israel an enemy imperialist country.
