Meanwhile
News story in Die Welt about Cabaret artist Lisa Eckhart. Translated: "WDR defends cabaret artist against antisemitism accusations. She joked about the MeToo debate - and then about Jews. Now she is subject to sharp critique. WDR doesn't understand the commotion. Eckhart wanted to "uncover prejudices."

Marwa Fatafta quote tweets Goethe Institut. Goethe Institut: "After some consideration, the Goethe-Institut decided that Mohammed El-Kurd was not an appropriate speaker for this forum: in previous posts on social media, he had made several comments about Israel in a way the Goethe-Institut does not find acceptable - (3/6)" Marwa Fatafta: "German institutions openly interrogate Palestinians from all walks of life about their political opinions on Israel before they hire them or invite them to an event. Goethe-Institut's racist action is not an anomaly but a standard practice here."

No, no. You must have blocked all Germans, maybe? I was responding to this. Just a throwaway comment.
"I've got the theory that our liberals ARE nazis" "They are weirdly racist and extreme"

Here's a German antifa sticker. You see a lot of this kind of stuff around the place. It says: "Antifascism must be practical! Against antisemitism and antizionism! Solidarity with Israel!"

Slightly maddening headline in one of Germany's biggest papers, Zeit.

"It's no use arresting hundreds of people"
"With hundreds of thousands of people protesting hatefully against Israel in London, the police can mostly only watch. There won't be any tougher laws any time soon."

They really should have followed up in this piece by asking Felix Klein what he means by "people that are hating Israel"
“A general suspicion that all Muslims are antisemites doesn’t help at all,” said Klein. “It’s unfortunate that it’s a very small group of Hamas supporters and people that are hating Israel that cause all this trouble. Not all Muslims in Germany should be taken hostage for that.”

Watch out, the Germans are after you 😭
German skeet: a screenshot of above skeet with text "#Blocked and #reported. To relativise an act of terror by criticising solidarity with Israel in such a situation is antisemitism. It's okay to criticise Israel for the breach of public international laws byblocking international humsnitarian aid for the Palestinians though. /1"

"Klein has said directly: That the Jews are not being sensitive enough to what antisemitism means to the Germans—that, in fact, these Jews do not understand antisemitism at all. In a perverse twist, the fact that the Germans were the most successful antisemites in history has here become a credential. By becoming the Jews’ consummate protectors, Germans have so thoroughly absorbed the moral lessons bestowed by Jewish martyrdom that they have no more need for the Jew except as symbol"

Germany should not exist
Olaf Scholz tweet. In photo: Scholz lays a candle in Israel. Text: "Brutal terror. The execution of defenseless civilians. Murdered infants, abducted children. Humiliated Holocaust survivors. It makes our blood run cold. Israel has the right to defend itself against this. A state has a duty to protect its citizens."
