  1. Wieland Hoban explains #philosemitism in Germany:
    "It’s very difficult to have a general sense of Jews as ordinary people who are part of the country’s population. Many people have an image frozen in time of Jews as the victims of the Nazis, who were the parents or grandparents of many Germans.

    "In some cases, this leads to an over-compensation which means that people want to have a particularly favourable idea of Jews. They make a point of doing what they think is supporting Jews. Including supporting Israel, going on holiday in Israel, or cultivating connections to Israel thinking this somehow revives Jewishness."

  6. IT’S POLITICS: Debunking the Myth: Zionism vs Judaism Explained

    Sir Afilonius Rex and Lila de Alba Toledo, 21st December 2025 David Jacobs wrote the following comment on X: “Many on this platform still believe that they can tease Zionism away from Judaism. That's not possible. It's time for me to repost my previous explanation. And yes, if you use 'Zionist' as a slur, or rage against Zionists, you are indeed a Jew hater.” This is a considered and measured response to that tweet and associated tweets. […]

  7. "Germany is open about its uninhibited support for Israel‘s war of extermination and genocide in Palestine, and wants to make sure the entire world sees it."

    "Establishment forces have translated Holocaust remembrance chiefly as support for Israel, elevating its protection to a German Staatsraison (national interest) coupled with zero tolerance for criticism of Israel, which is automatically treated as antisemitism".

  12. “Self-defence means not only attacking terrorists but destroying them. When Hamas terrorists hide behind people, behind schools … civilian places lose their protected status because terrorists abuse it,” said Germany's then foreign minister during a parliamentary session marking the anniversary of the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.

  17. #research #Gaza #hospitals
    We are still developing a more precise database (MS Access).

    Between Nov. 10 and Nov. 14, 2023, the #Israelis were attacking 3 #hospitals in Northern #Gaza simultaneously. They only made "#Hamas claims" about #AlShifa Hospital.

    The Al Ahli #Hospital in Zeitoun was the first hospital the #Israelis attacked (Oct. 17, 2023) by targeting the parking lot, killing 500 people. The database about #hospitals shows Israelis were already resorting to #warcrimes by #conflation

    "As it silences and threatens to sanction any dissent against Israel, its apartheid system, and its crimes against humanity as antisemitic, it is obvious that the government and parliament intend to spread fear of being branded antisemitic, being criminalised and persecuted for expressing your opinion as a basic individual citizenship right.

  24. The German state has bound its own re-birth into the “realm of civilized nations” through a particular protective relationship with the figure of the Jew, where (always Jewish) Israelis are a prime embodiment of Jewish life.

    "As long as the figure of the Jew remains a medium through which German post-unification identity is articulated and experienced, the performance of Jewish collective difference and political agency will be exclusively relegated to the State of Israel. The figure of the Palestinian, as well as Palestinians’ political subjecthood and demands for equality will, in turn, be addressed as either an annoyance to be ignored or a threat to be criminalized—rather than as a crucial prism through which the multiple layers of legitimatized moral violence in Germany have to be recognized."

    The article at top of this thread lists many examples of silencing by @germany

    Your recollection may hint at an earlier incident:
    #Oyoun, a migrant-led cultural center, refused to give in to political pressure and cancel the 20-year anniversary event of the Jewish anti-Zionist group Jüdische Stimme in November 2023. #Berlin’s Culture Minister #JoeChialo ended the center’s contract with the city government, effectively shuttering Oyoun.

    They announced: “This decision feels like more than just a closure; it resembles the setting of a precedent that all state-funded institutions may now fear. The implications are far-reaching, impacting the very essence of artistic freedom and expression.”
