“JEWISH”? NOT SO MUCH. Over the years, the wider Jewish community has questioned JVP’s alleged Jewishness. Its views are, statistically, not representative of the Jewish community as a whole. Many of its chapters were started by non-Jews. In 2019, Facebook’s transparency feature revealed that the JVP page administrator

What frightens us is the prevailing atmosphere of racism and xenophobia in Germany, hand in hand with a constraining and paternalistic philo-Semitism. We reject in particular the conflation of anti-Semitism and any criticism of the state of Israel.

Interview mit Udi Raz über ihre Entlassung im Jüdischen Museum - World Socialist Web Site
Vor kurzem entließ das Jüdische Museum in Berlin mit Udi Raz eine seiner Guides, weil sie Israel während ihrer Führungen als Apartheidstaat bezeichnet hatte. Die WSWS sprach mit Udi Raz über die Hintergründe ihrer Entlassung.
Cutting through misperceptions and historical inaccuracies, Zoe Baker shows how the reasons anarchists gave for supporting or opposing particular strategies were grounded in a specific theoretical framework—a theory of practice. The consistent and coherent heart of anarchism, Baker shows, is the understanding that, as people engage in activity—political or otherwise—they simultaneously change the world and themselves.
Michael Bakunin was one of the early influential theorists of the anarchist movement and played a key role in developing and spreading its ideas. He is one of my favourite authors and I have gained…
Attached: 1 image Did Zionists collaborate with Nazis? Yes, they did. In one example, the Haavara Agreement between Nazi Germany and German Zionists (1933), made possible the migration of 60,000 German Jews to Palestine between 1933 and 1939 and to bring with them a portion of their assets. Widespread persecution of the Jews had already begun in Germany by 1933. The mass migration was considered part of the ethnic cleansing the Nazis initiated against the Jews, but it also benefited the Yishuv (Jewish community under the British Mandatory Palestine) by bringing in needed immigrant labor and economic support, and increasing the numbers of Jews living there. It also saved the lives of thousands of Jews who would have likely been slaughtered in the concentration camps. Then there was Rudolph Vrba, who escaped from Auschwitz in 1944, along with Alfred Wetzler, and tried to warn the Hungarian Jewry of the Nazis’ plans to exterminate the last major surviving Jewish community in Europe. The Vrba-Wetzler Report (the VWR) that they wrote immediately after their escape revealed for the first time to the general public that Auschwitz was not, as was widely believed, simply a concentration and labor camp, but a death camp. The VWR was also so accurately detailed that it could be used to help liberate the camp. However, Vrba and Wetlzer were betrayed by European leaders of the Zionist movement, who silenced them and suppressed the report, putting at risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of Jews in exchange for the hope of getting Nazi support for the continued transfer of Zionists to Palestine. In 1961, The Daily Herald published the following from Vrba’s memoir: “I am a Jew. In spite of that, indeed because of that, I accuse certain Jewish leaders of one of the most ghastly deeds of the war. This small group of quislings knew what was happening to their brethren in Hitler’s gas chambers and bought their own lives with the price of silence … I was able to give Hungarian Zionist leaders three weeks’ notice that Eichmann planned to send a million of their Jews to his gas chambers … Kasztner [leader of Hungary’s Zionist movement] went to Eichmann and told him, ‘I know of your plans; spare some Jews of my choice and I shall keep quiet.’” #nazis #antisemitism #holocaust #zionism #palestine #israel #genocide #concentrationcamps #ruldophvrba #eichmann #hungary #auschwitz #hitler

Ein Streit um antisemitische Tendenzen unter Klimaaktivisten ist eskaliert. Nun droht der „Letzten Generation“ die Spaltung. Die Basis zeigt sich zunehmend irritiert über den autoritären Führungsstil der sogenannten Kerngruppe.
Seit einigen Jahren läuft eine Kontroverse um zwei Antisemitismusdefinitionen. Beide haben Unschärfen, derer man sich bei der Beurteilung aktueller politischer Ereignisse bewusst sein sollte.

ADL - Hamas-Überfall auf Israel löst international laut Studie schlimmste Antisemitismus-Welle seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs aus
Der vom Angriff der palästinensischen Terrororganisation Hamas auf Israel am 7. Oktober ausgelöste Gaza-Krieg hat die schlimmste globale Antisemitismus-Welle seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs ausgelöst.
Myth: My people were here before your people | Decolonize Palestine
Israeli settler colonialism cannot be justified or tolerated, regardless of whatever historical claims are made. Boiling the history of Palestine down into a refutation of modern ethno-nationalist claims does a disservice to our real and multifaceted history.
A chill can be felt in the air, the leaves are changing color, and Home Depots the country over are newly stocked with gargantuan skeletons. Halloween is around the corner, and in deference to spooky season, I recently saw Francis Ford Coppola’s “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” for the first time. It’s a portrayal of the vampire […]
