The German government and establishment are stepping up the repression of pro-Palestine Jews including Israelis, but it’s all about anti-Arab/Muslim racism by proxy, says Udi Raz, a Jewish activist who spoke to The New Arab in Berlin.
“Germany is very much engaged in an attempt to self-define itself through the exclusion of other minorities. In the 30s and 40s, it was the Jews, and now it is Muslims,” explained Raz, adding that Germany is eager to protect Jews but only to the extent that those Jews are also “willing to produce anti-Muslim racism.”
Calling the last seven months a culmination of a decades-long oppression of Palestinians in Germany, Raz believes that this marginalisation of Palestinians also targets the entire Muslim population living in the country. […]
It’s wild you’re getting downvoted for this when Germany is rounding up Jews and jailing them for speaking out. It’s literally how nazi Germany started.
I find that Germans are in denial about all this. They’re so conditioned to being virtuous about accepting their past they can’t accept that they’re supporting genocide or acting like Nazis.
