"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."

"@germany cuts funding to Egyptian women’s rights organization for criticizing Israel"
Lawyer Azza Soliman, chair of the Centre for Egyptian Women’s Legal Assistance (CEWLA), added that the country is attempting to whitewash its shameful history toward Jewish people by turning a blind eye to Palestinian suffering.

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.”

"More often than not, the ultimate “victim” of the offenses denounced in the German press is no actual Jewish person, but only the German state."

"The story [of guilt and fragility] is not about Germany, but a certain segment of society, about the reactionary radicalization within a bubble of political and cultural elites: disproportionately white, disproportionately identified with existing institutions, and disproportionately—let’s face it—neither Jewish nor Palestinian. It is among such people that we can see a defiant reprovincialization of the German spirit: a pride in not understanding or participating in analogous debates that rage elsewhere, a perverse pride in imposing one’s own categories, as though historical guilt confers true expertise."

Germans still prefer that Jews go away. The support of the German state to the Zionist state remains unconditional, in weapons but also in storytelling:

There was strong international condemnation, including from the EU, of @israel's brutal attack on a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza, which killed at least 100 people.

Nevertheless, the Germany government deputy spokesman Wolfgang Buechner justified it on Monday 12th, saying that “Israel has the right to defend itself. The reality is that Hamas uses schools, hospitals, kindergartens as command centers and that the people in the Gaza Strip are also abused against their will as protective (human) shields.”

"Fifteen Israeli NGOs said it ‘would be instrumentalised to attack and constrain German funding for our human rights work’."

"The resolution calls for immigration, asylum and criminal law to be tightened to combat antisemitism, and for universities, where antiwar activists have occupied buildings and set up encampments, to be granted wider powers to discipline and expel students. All levels of government are asked to prevent the financial support of projects and organisations – Documenta is mentioned as an example – that ‘spread antisemitism, question Israel’s right to exist, call for a boycott of Israel or actively support the BDS movement’. The IHRA definition is to be considered ‘authoritative’. The new resolution cites the 2019 BDS text as its model, ignoring a parliamentary assessment from a year later, which found that if that resolution had been formulated as legislation, it ‘would not be compatible with the fundamental right to freedom of expression and would therefore be unconstitutional’."

"With a non-binding resolution, recipients of state funding will be drafted, willing or unwilling, as enforcers. Curators, convenors of academic conferences and charity administrators will be expected to screen and blacklist any partners or collaborators who could be seen to violate the IHRA guidelines. An old social media post or a signature on a petition could result in funds being withdrawn."

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.
