-----------------------------------------------

The attack on Israel by the Islamist terrorist organization Hamas on 7 October 2023, in which around 1,200 people were murdered and around 5,000 others seriously injured, was the most brutal anti-Semitic pogrom since the end of the Second World War.

Calls for demonstrations such as "Queers for Palestine" show that the anti-Israeli consensus no longer only dominates queer theory, but also large parts of universities and the cultural sector.

Guests at the taz Talk are two authors and the editor of the anthology "Siebter Oktober Dreiundzwanzig". The book brings together initial analyses of the terrorist attack and its consequences.

Guests in the talk:

🐾 Güner Yasemin Balcı, journalist, writer and filmmaker. She has been the integration officer for the Berlin district of Neukölln since 2020. As a journalist, she critically examines the situation of migrants in German society in reports and features. In 2008, she published her debut novel "Arabboy. A Youth in Germany or the Short Life of Rashid A.", which was also successfully adapted for the theater. She produces films on socio-politically relevant topics for the ZDF program 37°.

🐾 Chantalle El Helou is studying for a Master's degree in Social Theory in Jena. She regularly gives lectures criticizing queer feminist academia and movements. As an author, she has also written an essay in the "Jahrbuch Sexualitäten" (to be published in July 2024).

Vojin Saša Vukadinović, historian and editor of several anthologies on the history and present of antisemitism and racism, including "Freiheit ist keine Metapher. Antisemitism, migration, racism, criticism of religion' (2018) and 'Zugzwänge. Flucht und Verlangen" (2020) as well as two anthologies for the magazine Die Schwarze Botin. He has also written numerous articles and essays on the history of emancipation movements, particularly feminism.

🐾 Jan Feddersen will moderate the discussion. He is taz editor for special assignments and curator of the taz Talks and the taz lab.
