Genozid explizit: No More 'Enlightenment Germany'

Last week the world was shocked that Germany, of all places, voted in the far-right for the first time since World War II.

But for Germany's Muslims, Palestinians, and anti-Zionist Jews, who've known for years something is rotten in Germany, this was scarcely news. 

As the clock struck twelve, their suspicions were proven right. On the same day a party led by a politician convicted for using Nazi slogan was elected in Thuringia, another video was published on the Bavarian Interior Ministry's X page, showing a hijabi woman searching for religious advice online and ending up being brainwashed by TikTok Imams, wearing a niqab and being an unhappy second wife. 

"The Salafism Trap: It Can Go Faster Than You Think" appeared on screen alongside imagery that a former left-wing parliamentarian said was reminiscent of imagery employed by antisemitic Nazi paper Der Stürmer.

And despite the video being hastily deleted, it is yet another example of a state apparatus emboldened by a nationwide climate of Islamophobia. Angela Merkel said that "Islam belongs to Germany", but her successor now rants about the "little Pashas" from migrant families who disrespect female teachers and spread dodgy statistics about the supposed frequency of 'gang rapes' committed by migrants. 

In Germany, commentators who parrot Islamophobic talking points about cultural integration are now awarded lucrative contracts in the booming "deradicalisation" industry, with 5000-word long reads about Greta Thunberg's supposed antisemitism and state-funded video essays that associate the Palestinian Keffiyeh with the Nazis — conveniently forgetting the lederhosen — increasingly common mainstays in the press. 

Ten years after Pegida began its anti-Muslim marches in Dresden, the marchers' rhetoric has spread into the German mainstream and the state itself. Now one in two Germans sees Islam as a threat. 

After a secret "remigration" conference backed the ethnic cleansing of Germany of immigrants, millions took to the streets to fight the return of fascism.

But Palestinian activists at these demonstrations were abused, and many at the march flew the flag of Israel, a country proudly supported by the far-right AfD. This week, a young member of the liberal Green Party called for the "remigration" of three million of Germany's Muslims on X. His profile has "antifascist" in the bio. 

I once thought that German Islamophobia was a bug, but I am increasingly convinced it is a feature. Ethnographer and Cambridge professor Esra Özyürek’s Subcontractors of Guilt argues Germany projects its redemption myth onto Muslims as antisemitic savages who need to be civilised away from their antisemitism to accept responsibility for a Holocaust that they had nothing to do with.

In this twisted fantasy, Germans are the priests willing to administer penance by ritualised admissions of guilt and visits to concentration camps.

Once the darling of international liberals for its open approach to refugees and supposedly world-class dealing with its historical crimes, Germanic exceptionalism has made a resurgence in mainstream discourse.

Books like Why the Germans Do It Better and Susan Neiman's Learning from the Germans have played a role in whitewashing and rehabilitating Germany's image. However, Neiman later retracted her thesis after being dismayed by the German public's harsh backlash against pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) activists following the passage of a non-binding resolution in 2019.

And guess who wrote the first draft of the law? The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD).

The far-right AfD bill was later adopted by the German centre. And here comes the complex part: understanding the dialectic between the nakedly nationalist AfD and what historian of the German-Israeli relationship Daniel Marweki called Ersatznationalism, the psychological projection that causes German liberals and leftists to Israel as it is were their homeland since historical responsibility prevents them from embracing their own. 

In this absurd opposite-land, protests against non-Jewish Germans with Nazi ancestry are described as antisemitic and commentators describe Germany as the "land of the Jew-friends" on public radio. And it goes further than that.

Author of Unorthodox Deborah Feldman described the special pride in which some German Zionists relish in cancelling antizionist Jews, happy that the shoe is on the other foot and that Germans can be even more loyal to the Jewish state than Jews themselves, who they consider disloyal rootless cosmopolitan for not embracing a state in the Middle East that most of them have never even visited. 

This German brand of narcissism thinks it can understand the world and can lecture everyone, not despite but because of their role in history's worst crime. Therefore because Nazi antisemitism was genocidal and without purpose, they think that is the only reason that Palestinians and their supporters could be protesting a war that has led to the highest death rate globally since the Rwandan genocide. 

No wonder a popular slogan among German anti-Zionists is "Germany will never forgive the Palestinians for the Holocaust."

Medea’s birthday: September 10. Happy Birthday, Medea🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

At least 12-13 days Jennifer Koonings, PMHNP, MS, MS, NYSAFE , one brilliant CODEPINK Alert CODEPINK’s Newsletter under Medea Benjamin, hunger strike outside White House in the wake US complicit Genocidal Gaza. This is [click link] her writing as member of CODEPINK Alert CODEPINK’s Newsletter. Jennifer is Certified Forensic Examiner for Adults and Children, really full knowledge about sexual assault, such as sexual assault by Israel to every Palestinian, like NYT reporting [photo uploaded].

We as Muslim prohibited to fasting at least 6 days for entire year [365, or 366 in leap year]. 2 Days Eid Fitr / Eid el-Fitr [1 Shawwal and 2 Shawwal / Syawal Syawwal], Day of Eid Adha / Eid el-Adha [10 Dzulhijjah / Dhul-Hijjah - today], and days of Tashriq [11^th, 12^th and 13^th Dhul-Hijjah / Dzulhijjah, or in Gregorian Calendar 2024, the days of Tashriq means 17-19 June]. But doesn’t mean prohibited for ‘less eating or hunger strike.’ As sacrifice in DC at least 13 days by Jennifer Koonings just because her protest about Gaza, I keep ‘eating less’ not only for her but also for Palestine, at least until 19 June. And for June 20th, back again for nonmandatory fasting, normally 17-18 hours, as even Jennifer, with her gut, sacrifice herself for Gaza. Wisdom quote I hear since war [Israel - Gaza] nonstop ‘’...You can't make people care about a genocide happening right in front of their eyes. They either do immediately, or a chip is missing up there, and they never will.’

For solidarity, since she started to hunger strike, I put myself eat 1 very tiny plate/day for break the fasting and for entire day after, extreme fasting 16.5 hours [based on my location]. I’m still continued for hunger strike, because its very easy. In last 17 years, I already [minimum] 340 days / year to fasting [29 - 30 days for mandatory fasting for muslim, ramadan session, the rest is voluntary fasting / sunnah]. Photo Jennifer with ann Wright, retired retired US Army and also [Ann] retired State Department. Sometimes I’m fasting up to 22 hours / day because forgot to break my fasting.
