The sheer state of the German left right now...

Seriously, if I wouldn't see it, I would not believe it. And I'm only seeing the small sample on Mastodon.

Antizionism, critique of Israel, suppost for Palestine get's thrown in with antisemitism so much that's it's basically impossible to figure out what's going on anymore.

Examples from Mastodon:

This picture shows a pro-palestine demonstration, we see people, palestinian flags and two signs reading "freedom for palestine" and "stop the israeli massacres in palestine". The left research network RABA writes: "After the attempted genocide of Jews with thousands of victims by the barbarous Hamas, the palestinian community Bonn and Cologne shows their ideological and personal closeness to the Hamas war. Replaying antisemitic, djihadi propaganda: transparent victim blaming"

Did they see the same picture as me? Do they know more than me? Or do they think any support of palestine is antisemitic by default?

This account called "punch a nazi" is in solidarity with Israel and against antisemitism. Thereby implying that anyone against Israel is antisemitic.

Same account saying: "The antisemitism bubbling to the surface all over the world right now is nothing less than disgusting. Openly disguised as "critique of Israel" or between the lines. Against all antisemitism!"

So no critique of Israel allowed ever? But no one is above criticism, especially not governments. Or do we make an exception for Israel?

Amadeu Antonio Foundation is a widely respected antiracist, antifascist group founded in the memory of a man murdered by nazis in 1990, Amadeu Antionio Kiowa. Here they say as part of a thread for teachers: "The antisemitism refering to Israel is to be differentiated from critique at Israeli government policy, a big challenge for teachers. With the practical handout teachers can react to slogans like "With the policy Israel is doing, I can understand why someone wouldn't like jews" or "Israel is an apartheid state" and catch insecurities and emotions."

Now, if you ask me, the first slogan is clearly antisemitic, the second is just true. How is that differenciating anything?

taz is a left leaning daily newspaper, basically the only one with any reach in Germany. It's staunchly zionist. While it is also showing the plight of the palestinian people, it is also joining in the chorus of other newspapers comparing Israel to Ukraine and therefore Hamas to Putin's Russia. This reads: The German peoples' demostration of solidarity with Israel are poor compared to the war in Ukraine. The actual test is still pending." The headline reads: Pro-Israel-Demonstrations: We don't care"

Same newspaper: "Dozens chant "free Palestine", a schoolground conflict get's political - but there are also other, quieter voices. A week in Neukölln (a neighborhood in Berlin)" With the headline: "Near-East-Conflict in Berlin: Symbol Sonennallee (a street)"

What's wrong with "free Palestine"? Does the palestinian people not have a right to self determination?

Rote Flora is an autonomous center in Hamburg since 1989. They fly a banner reading "Killing Jews is not fighting for freedom! We are in solidarity with all humans in Israel and all jews in the world. You are not alone." Someone posted this picture with the caption: Rote Flora stabil. which is kinda like saying it's based.

Examples end.

This is what I get from left and left leaning groups. Our public broadcast is of course zionist af, but to the point where American news like CNN are nuanced in comparasion.

The conflation of antisemitism and antizionism is just off the charts. I already lost one account for pointing out that these are different things, so I have to mute everything lest I blow up at any of these.

How can anyone look at the situation of the palestinian people and come away with anything but antizionism? That's why we have the term. Who but left and left leaning folks can look at this though a materialist lens? Isn't that our thing?

I hope this can be a turning point that also the left is starting to notice the difference between legitimate criticism of Israeli politics and barely masked antisemitism.

May 31 & June 3 - Free Lina!

Lina E. has been in custody in Saxony since 2020, for allegedly being a leader of a “criminal organisation“ called Antifa Ost, as police suspect her of being involved with an incident where a group of well-known violent neonazis who were meeting in a restaurant in Eisenach was attacked with hammers and pepperspray by antifascists. More info here: https://www.soli-antifa-ost.org/ May 31 is the final day of the trial of Lina and three other defendants. The public prosecutor's office is demanding up to 8 years in prison and is using the ideological background as a reason, among other things. Despite shaky evidence and a key witness who thinks up everything the public prosecutor would like, it is assumed that the verdicts will be correspondingly high. June 3 is Tag X, a huge solidarity demo on the saturday after the trial. Here are the currently planned demos:

Protest zum Urteil am 31. Mai

Berlin | 17:30 Uhr | vor dem LKA, Tempelhofer Damm 12 | Aufruf

Bielefeld | tba

Bremen | 20:00 Uhr | Ziegenmarkt | Aufruf I, Aufruf II

Dortmund | 19:00 Uhr | Sonnenplatz | Aufruf

Dresden | während dem Prozess | OLG Hammerweg | Aufruf, Anreise aus Leipzig

Dresden | 18:00 Uhr | Jorge-Gomondai-Platz | Aufruf

Duisburg | tba

Hamburg | 20:00 Uhr | Rote Flora | Aufruf

Hannover | 20:00 Uhr | U-Bahn Leinaustraße | Aufruf

Karlsruhe | 19:00 | Kirchplatz St. Stephan | Aufruf

Köln | 18:00 Uhr | (H) Servinstraße | Aufruf

Antifascists in several cities are organising buses to go to Tag X in Leipzig. As far as I’ve seen these cities are Berlin, Köln, Dresden and Copenhagen

Die wichtige Question is allerdings, re dieses pdf-Größen posts:

Für uns, die an der pdf-Grenze wohnen, ist sie dann sichtbar als rote Linie im Himmel, am Boden, oder auf Hüfthöhe? Beeinflusst sie unsere Flora und Fauna? Flackert sie, wenn sie nicht richtig lädt, vor allem aufm Land? Was ist die Dichte einer aufoktroierten pdf-Grenze, soll heißen, kann man ungehindert hindurchgehen/fahren (rip Tempolimitdebatte)? Bekommen wir PDF-Grenzlandbewohnersonderstatuskarten?

Fragen über Fragen.

Nun, eine pdf ist 2-dimensional und da ich als pdf-Bewohner nicht feststellen kann, dass ich in einem 2-dimensionalen Raum lebe, muss ich davon ausgehen, ebenfalls 2-dimensional zu sein. D.h. wir müssen davon ausgehen, dass an der pdf-Grenze ein Raum mit drei räumlichen Dimensionen in einen Raum mit zwei räumlichen Dimensionen übergeht. Deshalb vermute ich, dass es da eine Art optimische Krümmung oder sogar Knickung gibt, die es unmöglich macht den Übergang zu sehen - man guckt ja selber in den zwei dimensionalen Raum rein - aber sobald man die Grenze überschreitet, wird man selbst konvertiert und ist ebenfalls 2D, bis zum Verlassen des Raumes.

Dementsprechend schwierig ist es auch ein Antrag zu stellen, da die Formulare ebenfalls in 2D sind aber im 3D Raum ausgefüllt werden müssten - dies ist aber keine Entschuldigung seine bürokratischen Pflichten zu vernachlässigen, denn beim Feststellen eines unangemeldeten Betretens der .pdf sind Ordnungsbehörden angehalten den Besucher sofort in eine .zip Datei zu komprimieren und innerhalb von 10-20 Geschäftstagen per E-Mail an dessen zuständige Heimat-Gemeindeverwaltung zum Ausdrucken zurückzusenden. Da die meisten Behörden nicht über Farbdrucker verfügen, haben Betroffene keinen Anspruch auf Schadensersatz falls sie in Schwarz-Weiß ausgedruckt werden.

The occupation of the Rote Flora in November 1989 took place in a moment of nationalist excitement in Germany. While the East German GDR collapsed and the frenzy of ‘reunification of East and West Germany’ also swept over Hamburg, activists made things happen and took over the building that beca...
