" it pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the Holocaust, you empty the word antisemitism of meaning to silence critics of Israel's occupation in the West Bank (the topic of our film) and legitimize violence against Palestinians"

That's from the ISRAELI maker of the movie. Who feels unsafe in Germany. But his movie documenting the real going-ons is antisemitism? Fuck off, Germany. Sincerely, a German.

Yes, and fuck this shit in particular:

A resolution adopted by the German Bundestag last week on curbing antisemitism and protecting Jewish life could negatively impact civil society and free expression in the country. (...) There are major concerns in Germany about the resolution, including from civil society, academics, Jewish artists and intellectuals, and lawyers. There are fears it will open up new avenues for abusive enforcement, further chill free expression, peaceful assembly, and free association, and risk stigmatizing migrant communities, while downplaying homegrown antisemitism in German society including from the far right.

Sincerely, another German.

For this one Prof. Goldmann from an initiative to criticise this resolution has made the perfect observation imo. In a small press conference he notes, that this new resolution does not mention the most obvious antisemitic attack in Germany of the past years. A Neonazis attempting to storm a Synagogue and commit a massacre in Halle. Instead it explicitly mentions this movie at the Berlinale festival, which is the least clear case of Antisemitism (or what is alleged to be such).

Here is the conference in German. Note that a jewish led initiative has to be in a small room and only few journalists are present. Which goes to show how much the plurality of opinions among Jews are respected in Germany...

Anti-semitism is a form of racism and prejudice.

Being anti-genocide, anti-Israeli government, or even anti-Israel is a very different thing.

If we're going to redefine s***, then being anti-Palestinian is literally being an anti-semite when you consider whose semites actually are.

It seems the IDF are some of the worst anti-semitic offenders on Earth.

Good grief.
