  1. Win! A NSW Supreme Court judgment has clearly distinguished criticism of Israel from antisemitism, settling important questions about the IHRA conflation and its weaponizing by governments and institutions.

    “The IHRA core text is so verbose and imprecise that it could not realistically be attributed to the ordinary, reasonably informed member of the Australian public,” Justice Fagan says. The examples, he says, “indicate that the IHRA wording is not intended to give effect to the extant common understanding of antisemitism” but is directed to grafting “onto the community’s abhorrence of antisemitism, understood as hostility to Jews for their Jewishness, a parasitic rejection of protest against Israel. Seen in that light, the IHRA proposal is detached from the reality of the common usage and understanding of antisemitism in this country.”

  2. 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."

  7. "The Zionist produces and defines itself through the animalization of the Palestinian."

    "Palestinian liberation is an impossibility in the current ordering of knowledge and being, similarly demanding through its realization the end of […] this world, and modernity."

    This paper "posits that Palestinian freedom necessitates the creation of new worlds and [the getting rid of encumbering] constructs such as modernity and the Human."

  8. 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."

  13. Never again is for anyone 🧵

    "Renowned Jewish American photographer Nan Goldin used the opening of her retrospective exhibition at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin to denounce Israel’s genocide and call for global action."

    In her speech, Goldin criticized Germany for conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism, stating that the government is using this false equivalency to suppress dissent.

    “This is not just an Israeli war. It’s also an American war.” She pointed to the billions in US military aid to Israel and corporate profits tied to the genocide.

  14. #Antisemitism must be vigorously challenged as a pillar of Eurocentric white supremacy.
    #Zionism is a specific political ideology and form of ethnonationalism that drove the establishment of the state of Israel and maintains the illegal occupation of Palestine.

    "The primary goal of the IHRA definition is not to fight antisemitism or to protect Jewish communities from racist attacks, predominantly carried out by white supremacists; it is a mechanism to suppress advocacy for Palestinian rights. Of the definition’s 11 examples, seven deem criticism of Israel or Zionism to be antisemitic."

  19. Deborah Feldman: “Germans tend to cut off any attempt at constructive conversation with the much-favoured phrase that topic is much too complicated.
    […] Non-affiliated voices are often silenced or discredited, replaced by the louder ones of Germans whose Holocaust-guilt complexes cause them to fetishise Jewishness to the point of obsessive-compulsive embodiment.”
