JL;DR SUMMARY Andreas Böttner, the antisemitism commissioner for the German state of Brandenburg, resigned from the far-left Die Linke party after the party's youth delegation in Lower Saxony passed a resolution condemning current forms of Zionism, which he interpreted as questioning Israel's right to exist. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
