Mirna Funk und Ronya Othmann aus aktuellem Anlass: Schulterschluss des Grauens

In the organizer's words:

How the war between Hamas and Israel divides the world. The taz talk on a current occasion with Mirna Funk and Ronya Othmann moderated by Jan Feddersen.

After the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, candy was immediately handed out on Sonnenallee, "From Berlin to Gaza, Yallah Intifada" was chanted on Hermannplatz, and loyalty to Hamas was sworn on Potsdamer Platz. That alone would be frightening enough.

But because Jew-hatred brings together even hostile groups, we have seen feminists, intersectional activists, and jihadists nodding in agreement at several pro-Palestinian demonstrations. They declared the terror to be an anti-colonial liberation struggle and shouted "Free Palestine from German guilt" in the best closing line manner.

Not for the first time, one could observe a cross-front of Islamists and leftists. That is why we have to talk: About anti-Semitism and Islamism, about perpetrator-victim reversal and years of Islamism trivialization in art, culture and the media. And about the projection surface Middle East.
