Staatsraison: Dispatch From Germany | Mass Review
▻https://massreview.org/node/11675
For white Germans to stand for the rights of Palestinians to life, health, safety, and freedom, they would need to study our world from outside Germany’s myopic narratives. Without knowledge of imperialism’s grip on the world, and the structural violence of European nation states, we cannot “read” the state of Israel as we know it today. We cannot see the ethical challenge which the ongoing annihilation of Gaza presents to the world.
Instead, we are witnessing a desperate attempt by white German elites of all political stripes to maintain their collective fantasy of their white goodness in the world, proven by unwavering and unconditional support of the state of Israel. This fantasy is being massively revived and revamped in a slew of Islamophobic, often hysterically absurd campaigns. Examples include the targeting of anti-Zionist Jewish groups and individuals from Israel, the US, or Germany; and activists like Greta Thunberg who dared to connect climate struggle to justice for the oppressed Palestinians.
Where will this wave of white re-nationalization lead us? Already we face the likelihood of extreme Right victories in the next regional and national elections. “Respectable” politicians of all camps are considering an addendum to German citizenship laws that requires requiring immigrants to unconditionally support the state of Israel.
German cultural institutions, political circles, media, and academy are currently under massive pressure to denounce as anti-Semitic, wholesale, even the humble and relatively recent gains of postcolonial and decolonial scholarship and activism. Or on a more aggressive note, as pro-Hamas. Merely calling for #CeasefireNOW is deemed to be anti-Semitic incitement. This castigation extends to Jewish intellectuals in Germany, like Deborah Feldman, and to the Berlin art collective OYUN, who have called for an end to the siege of Gaza, and spoken out against settler colonialism.
