Naturally, this question came from a German journalist working for a major Berlin newspaper. Watch @FranceskAlb's response.

A right-wing Israeli mob came to my family’s home yesterday to search for me, threatening close family members who fled to another town in the middle of the night. I am still getting death threats and had to cancel my flight home. This happened after Israeli media and German politicians absurdly labeled my Berlinale award speech - where I called for equality between Israelis and Palestinians, a ceasefire and an end to apartheid - as ‘antisemitic’. 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 will end the killing in Gaza and allow the release of the Israeli hostages - empties the word antisemitism of meaning and thus endangers Jews all over the world. As 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 outraging that German politicians in 2024 have the audacity to weaponize this term against me in a way that endangered my family. But above all else, this behavior puts Palestinian co-director Basel Adra’s life in danger, who lives under a military occupation surrounded by violent settlements in Masafer Yatta. He is in far greater danger than I am. I’m happy our award winning film, No Other Land, is sparking an important international debate on this issue - and I hope that millions of people watch it when it comes out this year. Sparking a conversation is why we made it. You can have harsh criticism of what me and Basel said on stage without demonizing us. If this is what you’re doing with your guilt for the holocaust - I don’t want your guilt.

“To stand on German soil as the son of Holocaust survivors and call for a ceasefire – and to then be labelled as antisemitic is not only outrageous, it is also literally putting Jewish lives in danger,” @yuval_abraham told the Guardian

Happy Birthday to Brendan Behan.

Such a wonderful talent. It ended far earlier than it should have. He won the adoration of so many, from Dublin to Paris to New York.

@SDRafterBL They were demonstrating against being labeled antisemitic by the Israeli team in advance of the match. Without any evidence whatsoever. As a barrister you should have informed yourself of the facts before spouting hate.

@Mai2k3 @jarbuthnot1966 @mishtal Bring critical of your government does not equal support for Hamas / antisemitism, no matter how many times you shout it.

So all you cheerleaders for "the most moral army in the world" with your claims of "pinpoint accuracy." Take a look at what you enabled. This is the Genghis Khan model of warfare: total destruction, mass slaughter of civilians, complete eradication. Netanyahu says he has barely begun. Don't be on the wrong side of history. #NoToEthnicCleansing

@Paulod372 @IdahoNua @podonovan Dredging any part of the river that is tidal means that it fills instantaneously with sea water. Pointless exercise in terms of flooding.

@frank_oconnor @anoisagency @judesherry Lived near this building for about 20 yrs, reported it as derelict about 10 yrs ago. Finally added to Derelict Sites Register in 2019. I wonder has a cent of the Dereliction levy been collected on it? https://t.co/9L7IenKsrC

@kevinthebooks @frank_oconnor Artists are finding it increasingly difficult to find spaces to work in Cork City. And as long as artists are poorly paid then they need to be subsidised. Think of any great city. Now think about it without the influence of art and creativity.
