    As the war in Gaza continues, Germany’s unstinting defence of Israel has unleashed a culture war that has just reached Australia

    His work led him to being offered a stint at Germany’s prestigious Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology.

    Key Points: 
    • His work led him to being offered a stint at Germany’s prestigious Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology.
    • This came less than two months after the Max Planck Foundation, with war in Gaza raging, had announced “additional funding for German-Israeli collaborations”.
    • What to me is a fair, intellectual critique of Israel, for them is “antisemitism according to the law in Germany”.

    A political ideal

    • As he succinctly writes:
      I have a political ideal that I have always struggled for regarding Israel/Palestine.
    • It is the ideal of a multi-religious society made from
      Christians, Muslims and Jews living together on that land.
    • I have a political ideal that I have always struggled for regarding Israel/Palestine.
    • It is the ideal of a multi-religious society made from
      Christians, Muslims and Jews living together on that land.
    • His criticism of current Israeli policy, he insists, stems from the Netanyahu government’s determination to “work against such a goal”.

    Self-imposed red lines

    • It is worth pointing out that it is not just happening in Germany.
    • Universities in the United States are under siege from students and community groups variously accusing them of both antisemitism and Islamophobia.
    • Largely, however, what’s happening in Germany is a result of some self-imposed red lines the German press, the German courts and the German parliament have imposed on public debate.
    • Rather, it is a result of Germany’s current belief that its genocidal, antisemitic Nazi past implies future unwavering support for Israel.
    • It might equally be said that Germany has a special responsibility to stridently oppose ethnic cleansing, war crimes and genocide wherever they occur.

    Enough?

    • Sharp words from German government officials about the renewed Israeli campaign in Rafah suggest this might be possible.
    • The German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock warned recently “the people of Gaza cannot vanish into thin air”.
