How did “imported antisemitism”, a far-right anti-immigrant buzz phrase, make it into the political mainstream? After all, Germans didn’t exactly need to import antisemitism. But this is the way we see it in Germany: if you haven’t committed genocide you can’t properly claim to be against it. I’m not making this up. You couldn’t make it up. Indeed, the political scientist Esra Özyürek discusses the belief in her excellent 2023 book Subcontractors of Guilt.

The thinking behind it is that because of our history, we teach the next generation to make sure it will never happen again. At school we studied the Holocaust every year. We didn’t learn to analyse antisemitism, but we learned to be very wary of it – or as the writer Max Czollek put it: “Today Germans know mainly one thing about Jews: that they killed them.”

Immigrants to Germany need to know a bit more than that if they want to become German citizens. They need to know when the state of Israel was founded, and who is allowed to become a member of one of the 40 Maccabi sports clubs. If you’re not born in Germany you have to prove you’re not antisemitic by learning facts about Jewish people.

But even if you were born here, like me, the statistics still refer to you as an immigrant if one of your parents comes from a different country. And as such, you are viewed with suspicion when it comes to the antisemitism you may have “imported”. During the last election, Merz suggested revoking German citizenship from dual nationals if they committed a crime. When asked if that meant, for example, getting on a bus without a ticket, he made it clear it related to antisemitism.

However, antisemitism is not a criminal offence in German law, so we see it everywhere. Jews have been arrested for holding up signs reading “Jews against genocide”. An Irish protester was arrested in Berlin for speaking Irish at a demonstration for Palestine because the authorities did not have an Irish translator present to check if they were “importing antisemitism” too. This has gone so far that the Council of Europe’s human rights commissioner has reprimanded Germany for criminalising protest against the war in Gaza – including curtailing the use of Arabic at protests. In the end Merz didn’t get his way, but he drove the message home: Germans like me with foreign heritage are Germans on trial.

Please ignore the dog & pony distraction around the #Nobel Peace Prize.

It's already been awarded to a war criminal (Kissinger), a genocide apologist (Aung San Suu Kyi), and a head of state who bombed many counties & assassinated people (Obama).

The whole thing is a performance of geopolitical hegemony, by elites, for elites. Nothing about what's happening around it recently is unusual.

There are real people with actual material needs that need your attention instead.

Trump is working on regime change in Europe — fact, not conspiracy theory

The US State Department published a memo urging Washington to back far-right parties in EU elections to build obedient “civilizational allies,” branding mainstream Europe as anti-democratic and making threats against governments that resist—effectively exporting Trump’s culture war to erode European sovereignty.

Plans by Israel’s defence minister to force all Palestinians in Gaza into a camp have been condemned by legal experts and academics, who described the scheme as a blueprint for “crimes against humanity”.

Israel Katz said he has ordered Israel’s military to prepare for establishing a camp, which he called a “humanitarian city”, on the ruins of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, according to Haaretz.

The UN human rights office on Tuesday raised alarm over reported proposals that Israel is working with other countries, including the US, to potentially facilitate the so-called voluntary movement of Palestinians out of Gaza, warning that such plans could amount to forcible transfer under international law.

"This raises concerns with regard to forcible transfer," spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani told reporters.

One Israeli human rights lawyer condemned it as nothing less than an "operational plan for a crime against humanity".

Central Gaza’s Al-Aqsa Hospital to run out of fuel within hours

It is one of the barely functional hospitals left in the central area, and this chronic shortage will have severe repercussions on the lives of many patients who are receiving treatment inside, and will lead to the potential suspension of a number of medical services, including kidney dialysis treatment.

ALEX JONES SAYS A DEAL WAS MADE WITH THE DEEP STATE CONCERNING EPSTEIN

( No Deals! )

====Bullhorn Barry📢 (Opinion / News)

According to Alex, the Deep State is supposedly going to roll over and let Trump do his thing—as long as he backs off the Epstein disclosures.

Yeah… no. That’s never going to happen.

You can’t make deals with devils.

Now, I’m not even saying I believe that claim—but IF there’s any truth to it—NO DEALS CAN BE MADE! Personally, I think what's happening is something else, but I don't think anyone knows for sure except for those on the inside.

Trying to explain "How Capitalism Works" without mentioning its disastrous structural flaws for the masses is just a cover-up, albeit an entertaining one, I must admit.

#Capitalism needs "suckers" on an individual level, all the way to colonies on an "empire" level.

Fortunately, -although I have some doubts about stupidity-
both of these "characteristics" are beginning to disappear.
And this is precisely the path that capitalism will inevitably take.
