I’m being told that the largest Mastodon instance - mastodon.social - is now hiding my profile.

One person telling me it’s because of German obsession with making up antisemitism where there is none.

Anyone who knows my work knows that I platform critical Jewish voices. My MA thesis was on Yiddish & Hebrew, I do memory studies which incl Holocaust studies, and I am co-producing a Jewish podcast by three radical Jews. I’m also a writer for 972mag.

So what’s up Mastodon? Am I too Arab for you?

@ayoub The German authorities, and a whole lot of Germans, even some calling themselves antifascist, have a very twisted image of the post WWII world. And of the past I might add. They focus on one thing, ignoring all other Nazi victims, or even damaging their memory over and over, and are blind to what happens in the world today. It's almost funny to see a German so called antifa interact with anti Zionist Israelis, (or with me for that matter) they cannot find their baring.

@Libby_ @ayoub how long can the modern Israeli state - largely run by US immigrants and their descendants with no relation to the Holocaust victims - use the «criticism is antisemitic» shield? Breaking international conventions with impunity…
