The Foreign Ministry has invited one of the leaders of a German political party that has been criticized for failing to fight anti-Semitism and hard-core anti-Israeli attitudes within its ranks… Parliamentary Vice President Petra Pau, of the Left Party, will be speaking at a conference of the Global Forum for Combating Anti-Semitism in Jerusalem on Monday. She will participate in a discussion on “Government and Parliamentarian Actions in Combating Anti-Semitism.” In an interview with Pau shortly before her first trip to Israel, she told The Jerusalem Post she considered Paech’s “word choice to be false.” But she “protests against the assertion that Norman Paech, a member of Parliament, is an anti-Semite.” http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1203605158083&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
