This article explores the misuse of the accusation of antisemitism in Germany and its impact on Jews. The author, Udi Raz, a transgender woman and member of Jewish Voice for Just Peace in the Middle East, argues that the term "antisemitism" has been distorted and is now used to silence those who criticize the Israeli regime or support Palestine. Raz shares personal experiences, including losing her job at the Jewish Museum for using the term "apartheid" to describe the situation in Israel. The text also addresses the ongoing marginalization of Jews in Germany, questioning why they are still seen as "other" and highlighting the lack of Jewish representation in political decision-making. The author criticizes the control non-Jews have over determining what is considered antisemitic and argues that Germany has not fully de-Nazified. They express support for a one secular state solution and advocate for dismantling nationalist categories. [Extracted from the article] |
