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."

#Instrumentalization of #culture to mask the existing #structural material inequities is further concentrating political #power and reproducing historical, contemporary and #intersectional inequities, e.g., #patriarchy, #class, #coloniality, leaving human rights to markets and #vicissitudes of capital, structural #racism, among others.

📍 What might a #queer and truly #democratic future in planetary #health, science, and medicine look like?
Is it not time, at long last, to queer #science, #medicine, #arts, hegemonic #binaries, and #public spaces?
📍 And as informed by critical theory and a #power and #politics lens because inclusion without equity and without #redistribution of power is not just.

The Guardian shows "the same patterns of systemic bias, deliberate distortion and deceptive underreporting" as other British mainstream media:

"The magazine’s politics were what passes for center-left in the United States. […] The operating orthodoxy was that police killings, CIA coups, black site torture, and institutional misogyny were aberrations, deviations from the American norm that would eventually be corrected when the arc of the moral universe, long as it is, finally got around to them."

A new radical left party emerged in Germany forty years ago, but its story is a warning about the importance of class for Britain’s new left party, argues Robert Dale When the German Green Party hit the scene in 1980 it was well to the left of the Social Democratic Party.
"Solidarity can not truly exist until non-white people see the ways they are complicit with and benefit from silencing Black voices, narrowing Black narratives and ultimately denying Black realities. As non-white people, we are used to gauging ourselves in terms of our proximity to whiteness."

"The recent wave of symbolic recognitions that began in 2024 now appears to be the only step many European powers are willing to take in the face of genocide, following nearly two years of moral, material, and diplomatic support for the Israeli regime as well as near-total impunity."
Why now? What political or strategic interests? https://al-shabaka.org/roundtables/statehood-without-liberation-europes-response-to-genocide/
Yara Hawari: "This kind of recognition is not just ineffective—it is dangerous. It reinforces a narrow partitionist framework that reduces “Palestine” to the West Bank and Gaza and the Palestinian people to less than half of who we are."
