Strike Germany
Hier die Verlinkung zur Onlinepräsenz von STRIKE GERMANY, die ausschließlich aufgrund der äusserst einseitigen Haltung Deutschlands begründet wurde, und im Video vom Kollegen Michael Lüders erwähnt wurde.

Es handelt sich um einen Boykottaufruf.
(Ich habe ja seit langer Zeit entschieden, als Privatperson mit schwachen Möglichkeiten alles aus der Richtung Israel zu boykottieren. Ich sehe mich daher bestätigt).

Apospasma:

STRIKE GERMANY is a call for international cultural workers to strike from German cultural institutions. It is a call to refuse German cultural institutions' use of McCarthyist policies that suppress freedom of expression, specifically expressions of solidarity with Palestine.

STRIKE GERMANY withholds labour and presence from German cultural institutions. Until the demands below are met, participation will be withdrawn from festivals, panels, and exhibitions.

STRIKE GERMANY upholds a commitment to liberationist struggle and against Germany’s embargo on internationalist solidarity.

POLITICAL CONTEXT

As the genocidal campaign on Gaza continues - amounting to one of the deadliest assaults on a civilian population in our times - the German state has intensified the repression of its own Palestinian population and those who stand against Israel’s war crimes. Palestine solidarity protests are mislabeled as anti-Semitic and banned, activist spaces are raided by police, and violent arrests are frequent.

This reactionary wave has also swept across the cultural sector and academia resulting in a slew of firings, cancellations, public doxxing, and outright censorship, effectively silencing any criticism of the Israeli state. The countless, invisible instances of repression have been punctuated by high-profile scandals: the Palestinian novelist Adania Shibli disinvited from receiving the LiBeraturpreis at the Frankfurt Book Fair; two major sponsors of the Hannah Arendt Prize withdrew their support after the recipient, Jewish American writer Masha Gessen, published an article on Gaza; the cultural centre Oyoun was denied funding and forced to close for hosting an event by a group called “Jewish Voices for a Just Peace in the Middle East.” The majority of those publically targeted have been Palestinian, Arab, Jewish, Black, and Brown.

While German weapons exports to Israel have increased ten-fold since the start of the assault on Gaza, the German cultural and academic sectors’ complete reliance on public funds has increasingly transformed cultural production into an extension of state policy. Since the German Parliament passed the 2019 anti-BDS resolution, cultural institutions operate with the understanding that in Germany there is no space for solidarity with Palestine, under threat of losing funding.

German post-reunification "remembrance culture" (Erinnerungskultur)—the state campaign to address Germany's genocide of the Jews—acts as a repressive dogma, reinvigorating the oppression that real “rememberance” should work against.

Rather than reckon with their own racist increasingly neo-fascist politics, German media and politicians rush to blame Arab and Muslim populations in Germany for so-called “imported anti-semitism.” Germany is not unique – but no other state has made an unconditional alliance with Israel its “Staatsräson” (raison d'état) and a prerequisite for participation in public and cultural life. The German state cannot continue to consolidate further authoritarianism against voices opposed to racism, colonialism, and genocide.

The time has come to STRIKE GERMANY.
