Excellent piece by @Ruairi_Casey in @LRB on the predictable damage to artistic freedom & freedom of expression caused by the new German #antisemitismresolution lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/nove…; case in point, @Bochum_de City council's decision to cancel Mohammed al-Hawajri’s Guernica Gaza
allow me to blow your mind
The final moments of Palestinian Doctor Adnan Al-Bursh's life have been revealed through claims made in new testimony by an inmate at the Israeli prison where he died. Sky’s John Sparks has been speaking to those who saw him in his final days. ➡️ trib.al/AssGt4O
German MPs have been briefed by the Federal Civil Protection Agency that if Ukraine crumbles within the next 6 months, millions of Ukrainians will head West. The official estimate: 10 million, 2 of them to Germany. Unofficial: up to 18 million, 3-4 million to Germany 1/

Earlier this year I wrote about Germany's disturbing relationship with Jews for @thebafflermag In light of the "Antisemitismus Resolution" passed last week, it seems I can now be labeled an antisemite by the country that murdered most of my family. thebaffler.com/latest/how-ger…
The Transnational Institute has refused to appear with Berlin’s CFFP after my reporting showed allegations of silencing employees in Gaza
In October @dondeniamh and @andrewfeinstein were invited to participate in an event organised by the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy. Due to CFFP's stance on Israel's genocidal war in Palestine they decide not to participate. Read the full letter: tni.org/en/article/let…
Berlin's official city portal just wrote our film No Other Land has "antisemitic tendencies". A film that won the Berlinale and was recently invited to a special screening in the German embassy in Israel. It pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the holocaust,…
The kids in the school I’m beside in Beirut have been encouraged to clap and cheer when air strikes hit so they don’t become frightened. A loud one hit not too far away just now & I watched them all do this after they heard the explosion. #lebanon
"Germany Must Stop Supporting the Annihilation of Palestinians" – a letter under this title has now been published, as reported by Frankfurter Rundschau today @fr fr.de/kultur/gesells…
It has been a terrifying honor watching my friend @benmauk work on this story (with @nyrola) for two years. It deserves your time, you can come back to fighting about Trump in an hour nytimes.com/2024/11/10/mag…
"The stories being written by Picun writers and their peers show the effort and the ingenuity required to survive as migrant workers, builders of the economic miracle. They describe glaring injustices, prejudices and inequalities without editorializing these realities."
‘For much of the twentieth century, the idea that Chinese literature and art should be focused on – and sometimes created by – the working and farming poor was not at all unusual.’ Han Zhang on the crossover of writers and labourers in China. granta.com/picun/
I don't know why the US ambassador to Qatar is posting on linkedin about the promotion ceremony for the Marine security guards he conducted in the embassy swimming pool but he is.
On paper, Friedrich Merz is fully committed to the “debt brake” that places strict caps on German government borrowing. But the man widely seen as the next chancellor could quickly find it too suffocating. More, featuring @jsuedekum @Lars_Feld @maxkrahe: ft.com/content/8f059f…
Solid left-wing reading of Dem failure from @gabrielwinant : dissentmagazine.org/online_article…
‘If the measures now demanded by the Bundestag were introduced as legislation, they would probably be overturned by the courts.’ @Ruairi_Casey on how Germany’s support for Israel’s wars is playing out in government and cultural funding: lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/nove…
On the antisemitism resolution passed yesterday in the German Bundestag: “If the measures now demanded by the Bundestag were introduced as legislation, they would probably be overturned by the courts.”
The Bundestag has called for critics of Israel to be frozen out from funding for arts, academia and civil society - all to fight antisemitism I looked at how control over state funding has become a powerful tool to repress Palestine solidarity in Germany lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/nove…
In all likelihood the IRA won't be repealed, but contrary to what some are saying this doesn't make it a successful climate policy. Renewables are being added to the energy mix, they're not replacing fossil fuels. Which means there is no "green transition". 1/3
Israeli soldiers blow up homes in Gaza this morning, in revenge for the events in Amsterdam the two past days. “We dedicate this explosion to all the fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv. We’ll get to all of you, you sons of **”
