Director Christian Petzold weighs in on the Berlin Film Festival controversy over its handling of the Gaza conflict:
"We had many, many people onstage in the time when I was on the jury. We have people in from Gaza, and they were onstage and said they wanted to have a ceasefire. And the Germans had a big problem. [The Germans] are the killers; they made the Holocaust. And now they want to be the good guys. So, therefore, they say that antisemitism is the worst thing in the world. And it is. It’s the worst thing. Terrible. But there is a quotation by [philosopher Theodor] Adorno — he says that a philosemite is an antisemite who’s loving Jews. Now they want to be philosemites."

German police arrested Udi Raz in 2024 for holding a sign that read “Jews against genocide.”
He said, “Would it have been alright with you if it said “Jews in Favor of Genocide?”
The police reportedly “manhandled him even more fiercely” as a result.
According to Iris Hefets, herself arrested for holding a similar sign in 2023, Jews have been specifically targeted for arrest because they “get in the way of the narrative.”

@lime_green_leni Wenn jemand auf gegen Russlands Pavillion wäre, fänden Sie es dann Ok?
Deutsch
Das Briefeschreiben scheint für manche inzwischen selbst zur Performance geworden zu sein.
Während die Autor*innen keinen Anstoß an Russlands Pavillon nehmen, arbeiten sie sich an Israels Pavillon ab - das entlarvt eine fatale Doppelmoral.
Doch damit nicht genug: 1/

Liberal identity politics so compromised In Germany they’re doing girlboss brown lady checking white peoples’ privilege by… shushing them on why bombing and war are GOOD, actually.

Why is Euronews' Germany correspondent complaining about Muslims in the Bundestag?
Zara Riffler@ZaraRiffler
Tut mir leid, aber keiner kann mir erklären, das sei normal. Keiner meiner Freunde mit Migrationshintergrund findet das normal. Kein Muslim, den ich kenne, würde im Bundestag Niederwerfung vor Allah machen. Jeder weiß, welch Symbolik das in einem christlich-jüdischen Land hat.

🇩🇪 New: Germany officially withdraws support for Israel in legal proceedings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against accusations of genocide brought by South Africa in December 2023.
Germany announced in early 2024 that it would intervene as a third party in the case, formally rejecting South Africa’s claims as "baseless" and "political instrumentalization" of the Genocide Convention. Berlin argued that Israel has been exercising its right to self-defense following the October 7 attacks.

@derJamesJackson Is this a comedic sketch? This surely isn't a serious programme?

Es gibt für diese Verhaltensauffälligkeiten übrigens auch einen Begriff: long-distance nationalism.
Diaspora-Communities sind oft wesentlich extremer als Menschen in den Herkunftsländern und blockieren mitunter sogar pragmatische Friedenslösungen.
Dazu gibts spannende Studien.

@arash_tehran @wuh0810 I'm sure some have that opinion. I'm sure some don't. That's why it's silly to claim the voice of "die Iraner"

Today Germany announces it has stopped its support for Israel's defence against the accusation of genocide at the ICJ in order to defend itself in the case brought against it for support of genocide by Nicaragua. One of my articles was mentioned in the hearing:
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth
Counsel for Nicaragua at the ICJ showing that while senior German govt ministers have recognised concerns about Israel not abiding by international law, Germany continues to export weapons & military equipment to Israel that can be used in the execution of those possible crimes

Breaking: civil servants have called on Germany to stop supplying Israel with arms, saying the country’s “crimes in Gaza” are “in clear contradiction to international law and thus to the Constitution”.

German Chancellor Merz on Iran: Washington did not consult us and did not declare European aid to be necessary. We would have advised against following this path in the way it is currently being followed.
