The discussion about #Israel and #Gaza on Diaspora seems to be dominated by white men who categorically know all the answers, and who are either declaring Israel good guys fighting evil #Hamas and #antisemitism around the world, or declaring #Palestine as innocent lambs who have done no wrong, fighting the ultimate evil of Israel. I see no productive discussion or nuance, so little point engaging.
US Universities Should Respect Right to Protest
End Crackdown on Peaceful Pro-Palestinian Protests
https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/04/26/us-universities-should-respect-right-protest
There have been troubling reports of antisemitic incidents in and around Columbia University’s campus. Allegations of antisemitic acts and speech by individuals, as well as acts of Islamophobia and other forms of discrimination, should be investigated and addressed on the merits in a case-by-case basis, through fair and transparent processes.\
\
As protests spread to campuses across the country, university administrations should be careful not to mislabel criticism of Israeli government policies or advocacy for Palestinian rights as inherently antisemitic or to misuse university authority to quash peaceful protest. Instead, universities should safeguard people’s rights to assembly and free expression.

Jewish Voice For Peace: As the largest anti-Zionist Jewish organization in the world, we unequivocally reject the conflation of antisemitism with anti-Zionism and reaffirm in the strongest terms that there is no place for antisemitism in our movements. We condemn the false accusations of antisemitism leveled against principled, anti-war protesters to discredit our movements.
We call on all people of conscience to remain focused on the urgent work at hand: Ending U.S. weapons and funding to the genocide of Palestinians and reaching an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. The lives of hundreds of thousands of people depend on it.

F*CK WAGNER
Werk und Künstler trennen? Darauf hat Chilly Gonzales absolut keinen Bock. Im subtil-kritischen „F*CK WAGNER“ rechnet der Sänger, Pianist und Entertainer mit dem deutschen Kulturgut Richard Wagner ab. Und zwar nicht wegen des streitbaren Spätwerks, sondern weil Wagner Antisemit war. Und das ganz unverhohlen. Zusammen mit dem Rundfunk-Tanzorchester gibt es hier die ganze Ansage in Full HD.
Arrangement: Lorenz Rhode

The #NYTimes once published an article saying that #Hitler wasn’t really that bad. He was just using #antisemitism as a way to attract followers & keep them excited about his #political campaign.
The NYTimes more recently published an article saying that #Trump isn’t really that bad. He is just using threats of #violence & #authoritarianism as a way to attract followers & keep them excited about his political campaign.
#Anti-Zionism Is Not #Antisemitism”: Palestinian Prof. Shalhoub-Kevorkian on Hebrew Univ. Suspension

Nobody that this post complains about supports Hamas, so this is Israeli propaganda, actually. To this poster, everybody who condemns Israeli's ongoing encroachment and land grabbing in Palestine, both Gaza & West Bank, is necessarily "anti-semitic" although Palestinians are indigenous semites and Israelites are largely European.

Antisemitism on the left, example: protesting the screening of a documentary about the Oct 7 attacks.This is not a protest for Palestinian civilians, it’s a protest that’s pro-Hamas, and pro-ethnic cleansing of Jews. And nothing about it is anti genocide.
Make no mistake, Hamas’ attacks on Oct 7 were part of their ultimate goal of Jewish genocide.
If you support demonstrations like these, you’re a bigot, and you’re a fascist, and you support genocide against Jews.
“The protesters yelled “shame on you” to people attending a Jewish-sponsored event screening a documentary about the Hamas massacre of more than 300 people at the Nova Music Festival in Israel on October 7, 2023.”
Where Antisemitism and Anti-Zionism Collide

Every time I write, as I did last week, that I don’t think anti-Zionism is necessarily antisemitic, I get emails from Jewish readers that are angry, disappointed or sometimes simply baffled. “Israel is the political entity through which the Jewish people exercises its natural right of self-determination and control over its own fate,” said one typical recent message. “How is singling out the Jewish people to deprive it of those rights not antisemitic?”
To answer this question fully would take more than a single column, but I want to make a brief attempt, because lately, in reaction to the grotesque suffering in Gaza, two ugly, intertwined trends are gaining steam. Well-intentioned opponents of Jewish nationalism, some Jewish themselves, are being falsely smeared as antisemites. At the same time, antisemitism is cloaking itself in anti-Zionism, with people spitting out the word “Zionist” when they really seem to mean “Jew.”
My own views on Zionism are ambivalent and conflicted. I’m a secular Jew with no particular attachment to Israel, spiritual or otherwise, though I also recognize that my ability to hold myself aloof from the country is enabled by the great privilege of an American passport. I think the idea of Israel as a colonial entity that will eventually be dismantled is a malign fantasy — most Jewish Israelis don’t have anywhere else to go — but I also recognize that the country’s creation can’t be disentangled from the dispossession of the Palestinians.
Yes, as Zionists often point out, Palestinians were far from the only people made refugees as maps were redrawn in the wake of World War II. After Israel’s creation, more Jews were uprooted from Arab and Muslim countries than Arabs expelled from their homes in historic Palestine. It is not Israel’s fault that some of its neighbors kept displaced Palestinians as stateless refugees rather than integrating them as full citizens. But I could never blame a Palestinian for thinking it obscenely unfair that I have a right to “return” to a country to which I have no family connection, while Palestinians who lost their homes in 1948 do not.
I also understand why many Jews, the survivors of millenniums of attempts to destroy them as a people, put their need for national self-determination above other, competing values. But one needn’t hate Jews to make a different moral calculus.
Right now, the relentless growth of settlements in the West Bank has created a one-state reality on the ground, although one in which people have very different rights and freedoms depending on their ethnic and religious background. There are people of good will who think the way out of this insupportable situation lies in the fight for equal democratic rights in a single state for everyone living in the territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. “It is time for liberal Zionists to abandon the goal of Jewish-Palestinian separation and embrace the goal of Jewish-Palestinian equality,” Peter Beinart wrote in Jewish Currents in 2020.

Filmmaker Yuval Abraham: Death threats after accusations by German politicians
On Tuesday evening, Israeli filmmaker Yuval Abraham ("No Other Land") reported on X about threats against himself and his family following accusations of anti-Semitism by German politicians after his Berlinale appearance:
'A right-wing Israeli mob came to my family's house yesterday looking for me, threatening close family members who fled to another city in the middle of the night. I am still receiving death threats and had to cancel my flight home. This happened after Israeli media and German politicians absurdly labeled my award speech at the Berlinale - in which I called for equal rights between Israelis and Palestinians, a ceasefire and an end to apartheid - as "anti-Semitic". The appalling misuse of this word by Germans, not only to silence Palestinian critics of Israel, but also to silence Israelis like me who support a ceasefire that would end the killing in Gaza and allow the release of Israeli hostages, empties the word anti-Semitism of its meaning, endangering Jews around the world. Since my grandmother was born in a concentration camp in Libya and most of my grandfather's family was murdered by Germans in the Holocaust, I find it particularly outrageous that German politicians in 2024 have the audacity to use this term against me in a way that endangers my family. Most importantly, this behavior endangers the life of Palestinian co-director Basel Adra, who lives under a military occupation - surrounded by violent settlements - in Masafer Yatta. He is in far greater danger than I am. I am pleased that our award-winning film "No Other Land" is sparking an important international debate on this issue, and I hope that millions of people will see the film once it is released in theaters. We made the movie to start a discussion. You can be harshly critical of what Basel and I said on stage without demonizing us. - If that's what you do with your guilt for the Holocaust. I don't want to carry your guilt.
