Und das, Kinder, das nennt man Antisemitismus.
Und den Akteur: einen Antisemiten.
Wenn man nett ist.
Und sich in Selbstkontrolle übt.
Es gäbe treffendere Wörter.
Ich spare sie mir für später auf.

You learn something every day. When Casablanca was released in 1943 it was banned in Ireland because the Irish Government had prohibited anti Nazi films.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.

Today in 1945, George Orwell published a devastating critique of Communism.

Animal Farm reveals why every communist revolution follows the same tragic pattern: liberation to corruption to oppression.

Here are 10 truths from Animal Farm Orwell warned us never to forget 🧵👇🏼

After over a decade working against antisemitism here's 10 thoughts about Jew hatred.

1. Zionism was a response to antisemitism, If there were no antisemitism there'd be no Zionism.

Ooh, let me guess. Emotive longform pieces from Owen Jones complaining that American taxi drivers aren't reading enough Judith Butler?

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

In Iran, the real criminals make the laws.
Today marks the anniversary of the Isfahan acid attacks on these women, whose “crime” was wearing an improper hijab. Ten years later, the attackers walk free, because why arrest yourself when you hold power? Meanwhile, those who dared to protest, like Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi, remain behind bars.
During this past 10 years, I’ve watched countless powerful female politicians from the West visit my country, only to submit to compulsory hijab in the name of “respecting Iranian culture.” Show them these pictures and remind them: hijab was never part of our culture. Forced hijab is the culture of ISIS, the Taliban, and the Islamic Republic.

Long but totally worth it:

Here is the response that Dina Roubina, a Russian and Israeli writer, sent to the Pushkin House in London, inviting her to a conference but first asking her to clarify her position on Israel.

Dear friends and colleagues

Recently, the Pushkin House in London, in collaboration with the University of London, invited me to a literary debate broadcast on Zoom. The conversation was supposed to be about my books.

I just received this email from the moderator of this meeting.

I suggest you read it, as well as my response, which I invite you to share on social networks

By: Nataliya Rulyova

Hello, Dina!

The Pushkin House announced our upcoming conference on social media and immediately received critical messages regarding your position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They wanted to understand your position on this issue before responding. Could you formulate your position and send it to me as soon as possible?

Please accept, Madam, the expression of my distinguished greetings,

Natasha By: Dina Rubina

Here the reply:

Dear Natalia!

You've written beautifully about my novels, and I'm so sorry for the time you've wasted, because apparently we have to cancel our meeting.

The universities of Warsaw and Torun have just canceled lectures by the wonderful Russian-speaking Israeli writer Yakov Shechter on the life of Galicia's Jews in the 17th and 19th centuries - "to avoid making the situation worse."

I suspected that this would affect me too, since academia is now the main breeding ground for the most disgusting and virulent anti-Semitism, disguised as so-called "criticism of Israel."

. I was expecting something like this, and I even decided to write you an email about it... but I put it aside. It's time for me to publish it.

This is what I want to say to all those who expect from me a quick and obsequious report on my position regarding my beloved country, which currently lives (and always has) surrounded by ferocious enemies who seek to destroy it . My country which is waging a just war today against a rabid, ruthless, deceptive and cunning enemy.

The last time I apologized was in elementary school, in the principal's office, I was 9 years old. Since then, I have been doing what I think is right, listening only to my conscience and expressing exclusively my understanding of the world order and human laws of justice.

Natalia, thank you for your efforts, and I personally ask you to send my answer to all those who are wondering:

"On October 7, Saturday, the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, the ruthless, well-trained, well-prepared and well-equipped Hamas terrorist regime of Iran, Hamas, which rules in the Gaza enclave (which Israel left around twenty years ago), attacked dozens of peaceful kibbutzim, and bombarded my country with tens of thousands of rockets.

Hamas has committed atrocities that even the Bible cannot describe, atrocities that rival the crimes of Sodom and Gomorrah. Atrocities filmed by the way, by GoPro cameras, the murderers having taken the horror to the point of sending the images to their families or on social networks in real time.

For hours, thousands of happy, blood-drunk beasts raped women, children and men, shooting their victims in the crotch and heads, cutting off the women's breasts and playing football with them, cutting off the babies from the wombs of pregnant women and immediately decapitating them, tying up and burning the small children. There were so many charred bodies that, for many weeks, forensic pathologists could not cope with the enormous workload of identifying individuals.

A friend of mine, who worked in the emergency room of a New York hospital for 20 years, then in Israel for 15 years, was one of the first to arrive in the kibbutzim, as part of a team of rescuers and of doctors.

She still hasn't been able to sleep since.

Aus aktuellem Anlass mal ein paar Fakten zu Amnesty International:

1. AI feiert eine Frau, die folgenden Traum hat: „Wir werden euch abschlachten und ihr werdet sagen, dass das, was Hitler euch angetan hat, ein Witz war, wir werden euer Blut trinken und eure Schädel essen!“

Heute wäre unser ehemaliger Jugendspieler und Löwenfan Guiliano Kollmann 27 Jahre alt geworden.

Er wurde beim rechtsterroristischem Anschlag am OEZ in München ermordet. Guili, wie ihn einige seiner engsten Angehörigen nannten, wird schmerzlichst vermisst. (1/3)

At today's congressional hearing on the shameful surge in campus antisemitism @RepStefanik asks: Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate your school's code of conduct?

President of @MIT: Something something context something something

President of @Penn: Something something context something something

President of @Harvard: Something something depending on the context

The context is that they are Jewish students. If this were any other minority group, there would be no equivocation.

An Arab/Bedouin Israeli on the apartheid lie:

"If not for Israel I would probably be illiterate, penniless, herding sheep.
But I have an electrical engineering degree, I have a masters from Stanford University, and I have my rights to live my life the way I wanted to live it."

[Botschaft Israel @IsraelinGermany]

Tarek Abu-Arar, ein arabisch-israelischer Arzt, war auf dem Weg zu seiner Schicht im Krankenhaus, als er anhielt, um einer Person zu helfen, die offenbar verletzt war.

Diese Person war ein Hamas-Terrorist, der Tarek als Geisel nahm, während er auf Zivilisten schoss. Er und eine Gruppe von Hamas-Terroristen benutzten Tarek, der aus einer Schusswunde blutete, als menschliches Schutzschild gegen die IDF-Soldaten, die kamen, um die Terroristen aufzuhalten.

Tarek überlebte wie durch ein Wunder.

Diese blutrünstigen Mörder haben es auf unschuldige Männer, Frauen und Kinder abgesehen.
