It really seems as if, after what seemed like a brief period of enlightenment a couple of weeks ago, Germany is going backwards on this issue: more isolated from international opinion than ever, turning in on itself, refusing (unashamed, unafraid) to acknowledge its complicity.
Macklemore saying Israel is committing a genocide is reported as a “scandal” - while Gaza starving isn’t
The Israeli Ambassador to Germany is now attacking the leadership of the Anne Frank House
„Surprise, Surprise! Wer hätte das gedacht? Macklemore – schon vorher kein Unschuldslamm in Sachen Israelhass – verbreitet auf deutschem Boden… richtig: Antisemitismus! Aber keine Sorge: Die Anne Frank Bildungsstätte hat ihn ja vorher geschult. Vielleicht war’s ein…

Wahnsinn, wie ausnahmslos alle Outlets – Berliner Zeitung, BZ, BILD, JA – bei ihrer Berichterstattung über die Proteste gegen das Restaurant „Gila & Nancy“ in Berlin unterschlagen worum es dabei eigentlich geht: die Rolle des Besitzers Shahar Segal als Sprecher der GHF in Gaza.
This is how German public funded media reported a Macklemore festival appearance
Berlin police arrest a 13-YEAR-OLD CHILD at a Palestine demonstration. The police hold the child's wrist in a "pain grip" and cover their face. This is now accepted and normal in Germany, no-one says a word.
Die Berliner Polizei nimmt auf einer palästinasolidarischen Demo ein 13-jähriges Kind fest. Mit Schmerzgriff am Handgelenk, mit dem Handschuh ins Gesicht gepackt, die Augen werden zugehalten, der Kopf nach hinten gedrückt. Völlig unverhältnismäßig #b1907

⚡ Wow! Czech Republic bans communist propaganda — up to 5 years in prison President Petr Pavel has signed a law that equates communism with Nazism. Creating or supporting movements based on communist ideology can now lead to up to 5 years behind bars. The law explicitly bans…
