"If you stood on the side of #Israel during the #Gaza #holocaust, then that is the most important thing about you, and it always will be. It doesn’t matter if you go to church on Sunday. It doesn’t matter if you are nice to your children and your pets. It doesn’t matter if you give money to charity…The thing that matters most about you as a person is that you supported history’s first live-streamed #genocide, and it always will be the thing that matters most about you."

Why (rhetorical question, in reality) does the refer to the slaughter in as a “war”. It’s bloody ! Gaza will become a concentration camp and then the can exterminate them but just not using gas chambers. They prefer bombs, bullets, starvation and disease. .

Nachdem publik wurde, dass ein polizeibekannter #neonazi mit #fckafd-Parteibuch die #Holocaust-Gedenkstätte Ahlem in #hannover geschändet hat, schließt die Partei den Mann aus.
Die Taktik, sich von #rechtsextremen abzugrenzen, scheitert immer mehr.
Um so besser, dass der #gruene @HerrLuehmann ein #afdverbotjetzt befürwortet und nun hoffentlich ernsthaft darüber im Landtag diskutiert wird Danke!

A very valuable conversation between @ayoub and Amos Goldberg.

'In this episode, the second part of their conversation, they get into the crisis within Holocaust and Genocide Studies since the start of the Gaza genocide.

In the last segment, they spoke about “The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History”, which Goldberg co-edited, and argue for the necessity of new horizons in our imaginaries."

A difficult relationship: How the Gaza war is changing Germany's view of Israel.

For decades, Berlin has offered unreserved support to Israel. But now, the war in the Gaza Strip is putting Germany in a difficult moral dilemma.

What are the true lessons of the Holocaust?

@praesolgka
Wundert mich nicht, dass Bundesrichter in der Gehaltsrange nicht verstehen, dass Radikalisierung dort stattfindet, wo hohe Arbeitslosigkeit, hohe Mieten, teures Essen, Unzugänglichkeit zu Schulbildung Menschen zur AfD treibt, die da die Ideolgie annehmen.

Das passiert mittlerweile auch in Westdeutschland. Kleingranular entdeckt man die Extremwähler in Problemstadtteilen.

Ich finde den Trend auch besorgniserregend. Zu meinem Bedauern stelle ich fest, dass sich aber auf staatlicher und NGO-Seite niemand für die jungen Menschen dort zuständig fühlt, selbst wenn man sich da als gutbürgerlicher Support miteinschaltet. Das lässt in jedem Fall zwei enttäuschte Menschen bzw Familien zurück.
Wer setzt sich für das Recht auf (Aus-)Bildung und die Verpflichtung des Staates ein? Wer garantiert Eltern Grundsicherung, damit das wenigstens die Kinder da raus schaffen?

Wenn ich ehrlich bin, steht der Text genau dafür, wieso die Jungen sich bei TikTok einfangen ließen, wobei TikTok auch schon wieder aus dem Fokus gerät und viele Kids zu RedNote wandern, in den USA auch wegen des Bans.

Man hat das Gefühl die Jugend rennt und die "alte" Aufsicht kann nicht mithalten und verliert den Anschluss und Überblick, wo die gerade sind.

Jetzt wisst ihr, wo sie sind. Und jetzt?

Die Kids fangen nicht als Junkies, Diebe oder Rassisten an.

More on #Germany and #Israel’s quid pro quo relationship and Ben-Gurion's calculated effort to balance holding a major #Holocaust related trial while securing German money and knowhow for building Israel's nuclear reactor at Dimona.

Germany suspended all military and financial assistance to Israel during the trial of Adolf #Eichmann (that took place in Jerusalem from April 11 to August 13, 1961,) explicitly conditioning renewal on how the trial was conducted. Once Ben-Gurion successfully managed the trial without damaging Germany's image, #Adenauer expressed gratitude and #Peres secured significant military equipment as compensation.

[...] Ben-Gurion knew that the Germans were very worried about the trial, as he wrote in his diary, and apparently also knew that they were following every statement that might harm them, so he was also careful not to make statements during the trial period. They applied heavy pressure on Israel and froze all commitments for arms deals, reparations and the loan for the Negev project, and made clear that they would renew the agreements 'according to what would be said in the trial.' At the end of the trial, Deputy Defense Minister Shimon Peres met with Chancellor Adenauer, and the latter asked to convey thanks to his dear friend Ben-Gurion for having managed the trial well. Peres presented the expected compensation - weapons without money - submarines, missiles, and [classified] [classified] [classified]."

-----------

West Germany's first installment of 200 million marks annually for the reactor came August 14, 1961 - one day after the trial ended. Final approval came June 8, 1962, only after the trial concluded.

Another noteworthy fact: Ben-Gurion knew West German official Hans Globke had drafted the legal framework for the Nuremberg Laws that enabled Jewish deportation and extermination, but told German representatives: 'There is no need to speak of Globke, because Adenauer investigated his past before accepting him as advisor better than Israel could have investigated.'"

Quoting Gideon Levy on how Germany is betraying the memory of the Holocaust through its response to the situation in Gaza:

[...] It is difficult, if not impossible, in Germany to criticize Israel, no matter its actions. This isn't friendship; it's a subservience to the past that must end in the face of Gaza. The "special relationship" cannot include legitimizing war crimes. Germany has no right to ignore the International Criminal Court, which was established because of its crimes, and to consider inviting a prime minister wanted for war crimes. It has no right to continue reciting clichés of the past and laying wreaths at Yad Vashem, an hour and a half's drive from Khan Yunis.

#ChrisHedges | The Shared Mythological History of Israel and the US (w/ Joan Scott) | The Chris Hedges Report

"The late Amy Kaplan, in her book, Our American Israel: The Story of an Entangled Alliance, explored how these narratives developed through popular culture and the media’s reporting on the Israeli government’s actions throughout the 20th century, particularly in the United States. Professor Joan Scott, professor emerita in the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and adjunct professor of history at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to discuss Kaplan’s book and how prevalent it is in the face of Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians."

Vorgestern saßen die Präsident*innen der Oberlandesgerichte und des Bundesgerichtshofs über 2h mit Mitarbeitenden der Stiftung Gedenkstätte @Buchenwald zusammen. Es war ein sehr ernstes Gespräch über die sich rasant verändernden Einstellungen vor allem junger Menschen. Es wurde nichts dramatisiert, aber auch nichts beschönigt. Der Austausch ließ uns sehr besorgt zurück.

In Buchenwald wird gute, zugewandte Sozial-und Bildungsarbeit geleistet, ohne Moralpredigten oder „Schockpädagogik“. Es wird versucht, junge Menschen wieder mit ihrer Empathiefähigkeit in Kontakt zu bringen. Das gelingt immer wieder - und doch wird das nicht reichen.

Wir alle - die Justiz eingeschlossen - müssen im Alltag, privat und im Beruf, klar dafür eintreten, dass Menschenrechte immer und für alle gelten. Ohne Ausnahme.

Ob es am Ende reicht, das Abgleiten in Autoritarismus und Hass zu verhindern? Ich weiß es nicht. Aber passiv zuschauen ist keine Option.

Niedliche Nacktschnecke

Adam tooze über die Shoa im Verhältnis zur Moderne und Industrialisierung. Er fordert uns auf, bestimmte Assoziationen und Bilder zu dekonstruieren indem.wir sie ernst nehmen - zum Beispiel die zugfahrpläne:

Es ist schwierig Zitate zu finden die dem Text gerecht werden, ich versuche es mit diesem Kommentar zu Postone:

> Likewise Moishe Postone explicitly invokes the scale of the transportation effort as part of his insistence that “the Holocaust was its own goal. ... No functionalist explanation of the Holocaust and no scapegoat theory of anti-Semitism can even begin to explain Whyte (...) a significant proportion of vehicles was deflected from logistical support and used to transport Jews to the gas chambers.

> If Treblinka, at its height of its operations, was receiving three trains per day, this would amount to a daily load of 150 standard G-model covered goods wagons. As horrifying as this was as a site of mass murder. In logistical terms it was trivial. Every single day, day in, day out, the Reichsbahn despatched around 120,000 wagons. Treblinka in other words, consumed at the height of its operations, a few minutes per day of the Reichsbahn’s transport capacity, one tenth of one percent of the Reichsbahn’s freight capacity.

Diese Feststellung, und weitere ähnliche im text, spielt nicht die Singularität der shoa herunter. Sie sagt nur:

> The Holocaust was the most intensive and directed campaign of mass murder in world history. It had a truly singular logic. But it is a fallacy to imagine that this moral and political weight had a material counterpart of equal significance, involving major material trade offs, or expressing a deep relationship to the history of industrialism.
