The "Statement Against the #Boycott of Israeli Academics" now has a dedicated website. It includes relevant media related to the Statement and the problem of boycotting Israeli academics. Feel free to share it. https://t.co/p3JF4M2Fow @SmithHelmut @Daniel_Newcast

Looking forward to presenting in Berlin next week. My paper explores how early postwar Jewish engagements with human rights complicate the opposition between universalism and particularism in debates about human rights, memory, and the Holocaust. https://t.co/uPWdmyemg0

La Knesset adopte la peine de mort pour les terroristes. Anne Rethmann,chercheuse en histoire des droits humains, analyse ce basculement de l'État de droit :dans la lignée de la réforme Netanyahu, le droit ne sert plus de cadre, mais d'instrument politique https://t.co/GNxhId7PuJ

This is a really lovely insight into the indeed very famous #TelAviv Central Bus Station. No hip party scene, but people from the neighborhood and volunteers who did an amazing job cleaning up the space. Video by @unpackedmedia

It is important that any discussion about how this war is unfolding includes these voices. @arash_tehran spoke with several Iranians about how they see the war and what they fear.

I spoke to about a dozen Iranians to see what they think about the war. Here is what I found.

While we were sitting in the shelter in #Jerusalem last night, I was reading news from #Tehran. I don’t have an answer. But it is difficult to speak about this war without also thinking of the mostly very young Iranians whose lives are at stake.

Something nice for a change today: alongside this image, Paul Celan's voice in Jerusalem, 1969:

Since the 1970s, Schohreh Baddii has campaigned for a free Iran. In 1992, her husband was murdered in Berlin by the mullah regime. In the video, she shares her—and many Iranians'—view on the current war. Full interview (in German): https://t.co/Swr97Viuu4

So the humanities, and philosophy in particular, are back—not on the sidelines, but as another battlefield. It may take a few rounds, but Iran's Larijani isn’t the first to enlist Kant in the service of an antihumanist philosophy. A great article.

In 2012, Jürgen Habermas gave the first Martin Buber Memorial Lecture at the @IsraelAcademy of Sciences and Humanities. He died today at 96, one of the last representatives of a generation that sought to rethink Germany's intellectual life after 1945.

Ständig bekommt man Nachrichten aufs Handy, was seit den amerikanischen Luftangriffen auf Iran passiert. Der Blick der Welt konzentriert sich aber nur auf einen Bruchteil der betroffenen Region, schreibt @OthmannRonya in ihrer Kolumne.

Der Angriff auf die Islamische Republik Iran stellt einen wichtigen Schritt zur Befreiung dessen Bürger dar, meint Resa Memarnia. Wer die Menschen ernst nimmt, müsse ihnen die Fähigkeit zutrauen, einen freien und demokratischen Staat aufzubauen. https://t.co/fpSsaUzr4b

Bringing Human Rights Theory Back In: Great interview with @R_Mosayebi on the current war against the Iranian regime and on whether the allegations of breaches of international law by the U.S. and Israel are as legally unambiguous as many claim.

in deaster, nor that it will be a great success culminating in a free Iran and sweeping changes across the region. I read a moving comment. In a few almost stenographic lines, @Ammir captures the moment for many Iranians: the coexistence of facts, emotions, and histories. (2/2)

The sky over Jerusalem is beautifully blue this morning after a short night. News keeps arriving without pause: images of a destroyed building in Tel Aviv, an endless stream of commentary about what may come next. I can't bring myself to say that this will inevitably end (1/2)

more comfortable narratives. News like this from Poland is therefore a reminder that the rule of law and institutional independence protect scholarship from turning into convenient stories that serve only one's own group narratives.

[Anne Rethmann @AnneRethmann]

The relativization and marginalization of both the Holocaust and antisemitism are recurring phenomena across different countries and political milieus. Of course, Germany has its own history of subsuming distinct historical experiences under broader, (1/2)
