Henryk Marcin Broder (born 20 August 1946), self-designation Henryk Modest Broder, is a Polish-born German journalist, author, and television personality. He was born into a Jewish family in Katowice, Poland.

Broder is especially interested in Vergangenheitsbewältigung, Islam, Israel, and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. He sees a close relationship between German criticism of Israel's policies and antisemitism.^[1]

Ever since Operation Entebbe, Broder grew more and more critical of the German approach towards Israel, and what Broder sees as appeasement towards Islamic threats. In Broder's opinion, anti-Zionism is in essence antisemitic.^[2]

Broder is also associated with the blog Politically Incorrect and the counter-jihad movement.^[3]

In 2006 a German court sentenced Broder to a term in prison after he had publicly accused anti-Zionists like the Dutch-German Jew Hajo Meyer and Abraham Melzer [de] for their putative "capacities for applied Judeophobia" (Kapazitäten für angewandte Judäophobie) because they had compared the Israeli occupation policy to measures taken by the Nazis.^[4][5] On appeal, a court mostly cleared Broder, stating that there was no such thing as "Jewish anti-Semitism."^[6]

Broders attitude is controversial. Stefan Niggemeier wrote in the context of right-wing populist statements: "Henryk M. Broder is also a victim of Thilo Sarrazin. For years he has been striving to become the republic's chief provocateur."^[7]
