If I was - for some reason - looking to endorse a Western voice on Palestine, I would simply not choose someone who was defending Bashir al-Assad even as he was barrel-bombing Palestinian refugees in Yarmouk. This tweet is about a lot of people, but primarily Clare Daly and Mick Wallace.

I feel every word of this and I'm not even Palestinian. How does the world continue while our siblings are being genocided day after day? Why can't we stop them from hurting our siblings? Oh world people are dying and no one is stopping them. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

"Calls for cultural boycotts in solidarity with Palestine against nations other than Israel are rare. Germany’s unprecedented willingness to defend Israel at the highest level goes some way to explaining why so many feel a strike is necessary." Read📰 www.newarab.com/features/why...

Hard to take Germany's anti-AfD protests seriously when the vast majority of those white protestors hate or are indifferent to Palestinians.

Meanwhile in nazi Germany, their biggest newspaper btw

i guess now it is i who am too cool for berghain, because fuck all of this.

When Dabashi goes hard, he goes hard. "Habermas appears ignorant that his endorsement of the slaughter of Palestinians is completely consistent with what his ancestors did in Namibia during the Herero and Namaqua genocide." www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/war-...

For more context: this was published yesterday; today some of the people mentioned in the report were fired from their respective right-wing parties, in a desperate attempt to manage the level of nazism at the "tolerable" level. In other words, 1) it is real, 2) journalism is still consequential.

it was long overdue, but it is finally here: #StrikeGermany if you are an artist, including djs, etc. or an academic or a cultural worker of any kind, it is time to not accept any work in Germany or if you already accepted, please cancel check out strikegermany.org for more details

I watched him cry because he was mourning his colleagues and them a few hours later he was also targeted and martyred.

Die Reaktion internationaler Journalist:innen und Politiker:innen in #DenHaag, wenn sie erfahren, dass ich Deutsch-Palästinenser bin, ist fast immer dasselbe: "Oh Gott, das tut mir leid, muss momentan sehr schrecklich sein, als Palästinenser in Deutschland zu leben".

Incisive & powerful @nesrinemalik.bsky.social "The case will be dismissed, of course, as it already has been, forcefully by the US, UK, Canada, Germany & others. But there is a cost to dismissing concepts & processes that underpin the very legitimacy of these countries’ claim to moral authority."

Lana Bastašić, one of the more prominent bosnian writers, just cut ties with her German publishers over their stance on Palestine and their silence over the silencing of cultural workers and institutions in Germany.

The Namibian response to the Germans, who only half-acknowledged their genocide of the Herero and Nama in 2015 and are still dragging their feet on reparations, is a thing of beauty. It is wonderful to see a multipolar world with strong African leadership emerging.

There are a lot of issues with information decentralization in our current age, but Global South actors like Namibia being able to talk back to the Global North in a way that would've had mainstream outlets portray them as crazy 20 years ago is a nice benefit

Namibia calls out Germany's move to defend Israel at the International Court of Justice when it hasn't fully atoned for the genocide committed there. Many of the tactics used on the Nama and Herero laid the groundwork for methods used in the Holocaust. twitter.com/NamPresidenc...

Irish people - Call 01 6194000 to get through to the department of an Taoiseach and ask them to urgently support Ireland backing South Africa in the ICJ in their case against Israel. Only takes a minute.

The fact that Ursula Von Der Leyen's justification for Isr@el's actions in G@za has been used as "evidence" in the ICJ is just another sign of her moral bankruptcy. I hope they follow her to the grave and she has no peace!

Germany being the Nazis they are want to join the ICJ action as part of Israel's defence. Utter shits.

Ouch

Dying… there is a dude on TikTok apparently doing a count

My friend Dima and her family are trying to secure refuge in Canada if they can get out of Gaza. Please help them. www.launchgood.com/campaign/hel...

Hamas have a great rugby team

i think part of israel's desperate, irrational obsession to get this genocide done is them realizing that they're not going to get another shot at it. Hasbara has failed to the point where pro-palestine protests of millions are pressuring even their presumed allies to distance themselves

"Our youngest members are twin four-year-olds, and we would all like to be able to sleep easily at night knowing they are safe. We all intend to go together no matter what, as [...] we know we would not feel safe at all if any of us were left behind." www.launchgood.com/campaign/hel...

for irish pals, demo for palestine this saturday 🍉

Yesterday Germany's foreign minister referred to Israel's genocide in Gaza as "the fight against blind terrorism" and look, I know I am a fountain of bad German news, but please keep paying attention to and calling out this blatant support for anti-Palestinian racism and violence.

Außenministerin Baerbock ist zu Besuch in Israel + der Westbank. Sie verurteilt Hamas, Hisbollah, Houthis, aber lässt die >22.000 Toten in Gaza, die Auslöschung des Küstenstreifens unerwähnt. Unter diesen Vorzeichen hat eine Reise keinen Wert, außer die dt Rückendeckung für d Genozid zu versichern.

Frau Schröter deleted the post below. I kept a screenshot because I was sure she would end up deleting it. I learned long ago that those capable of attacking the most defenceless are usually nothing but cowards.

This person is a professor of "colonial and postcolonial orders" and directs a research center on "global Islam." If words meant anything, she'd be well-aware via her professional credentials of the anti-Muslim racism in her own statement.

France is trying to beat these Islamophobia allegations I guess but it's not working out.

remember how we were mad about white savior americans trying to snatch up palestinian babies guess what 🥚

This remains the best review I’ve ever seen of a German “Mexican” restaurant

I keep seeing parents in Gaza whose children were murdered saying heartbreaking things like this, especially lamenting that their children died with empty stomachs, cold, afraid—their last moments of life become very important to those who loved them, now fixed and unchangeable.

The questions in this interview (with my good friend Jonas Lüscher) tell a story about dynamics in German media discourse right now. Specifically how there’s a reactionary pivot that presents itself as gestures of “left” self-interrogation — using largely US anti-“cancel culture” discourses.

Dear all, I have now posted the English and German versions of the Der Spiegel article on my site. I restored some of the content in the English version that was removed in the German edition. amroali.com/2024/01/the-...
