@germany's government class deepens its alliance with @israel – criminalising dissent, rewarding lobby groups, and eroding rights in the name of fighting antisemitism

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.

Artist and writer James Bridle was unanimously awarded the biennial Architectural Theory Prize by the Schelling Architecture Foundation in June this year for their “outstanding contributions to architectural theory”.

But on Sunday, ahead of the awards ceremony scheduled for today, Bridle was informed the foundation’s committee would not award them with the prize because they had co-signed a call for a boycott of Israeli cultural institutions.

"3. STRUKTURELLEN RASSIMUS BEKÄMPFEN

Während Institutionen sich nach außen hin bemühen, die Arbeit marginalisierter Menschen zu präsentieren, ist ihre interne Politik mit den Grundprinzipien von antirassistischen und emanzipatorischen Bewegungen nicht vereinbar. Obwohl viele Initiativen davor gewarnt haben, dass die Anti-BDS-Resolution von 2019 effektiv ein Instrument für strukturellen Rassismus werden würde, mit dem marginalisierte Positionen verzerrt, verleumdet und zum Schweigen gebracht werden, haben deutsche Institutionen sie ohne Widerspruch akzeptiert. Diese Resolution hat insbesondere auch zu einem Klima von anti-arabischem Rassismus und Islamophobie beigetragen, das in der deutschen Gesellschaft ohnehin weit verbreitet ist.

STRIKE GERMANY fordert, dass sich deutsche Kulturinstitutionen für die Aufhebung der Anti-BDS-Resolution einsetzen und alle Formen von Rassismus gleichermaßen bekämpfen."
