(In Deutschland leben ca 5,3 Millionen Muslime und ca. 220,000 Juden. Trotzdem glaubt @spiegel , Muslime in Deutschland vor anti-muslimischen Ressentiments schützen zu müssen, Juden aber outen und damit direkt in Gefahr bringen zu dürfen.)

Dies ist jetzt das zweite Mal binnen fünf Wochen, dass @spiegel die Identität des Angreifers anonymisierend schützt und die Identität des Opfers rücksichtslos outet: jüdischer Student bzw. orthodoxer Jude. Was soll das?

#Antisemitismus durch Nachlässigkeit, @spiegel ? Oder doch Vorsatz?

Mit bis zu 30% Zustimmung in manchen Bundesländern? Ein Verbot kommt zu spät.

Ärger als für ein Verbot der AfD zu demonstrieren dürfte für ihre gerade dem progressiven Spektrum entstammenden Gegner werden, jetzt konservativ zu wählen, um die "Brandmauer" zu halten. Ein weiterer Grund, warum die AfD in den Landtagen stark vertreten sein wird.

Die Gegner der AfD bleiben zu Hause. Und wenn sie wählen, wählen sie irrelevant.

The year 2024 has had a very rocky start so far. First, at the beginning of the year, we had to clear out the apartment on the mainland - security renovations. This meant, among other things, moving thousands of books to alternate locations. When I finally got back to the island, the water pipes in the house were frozen - we had a strong arctic wind and temperatures of -19 degrees. There is still water in the sauna - otherwise I would be doomed. And now I'm in bed for the second day with a virus, too weak to move. Where the hell did I get it? I haven't seen anyone for days. On the ferry maybe?

Reminds me of the end-boss in Half.Life 1 (1998).

@exador23
BTW, "common sense" is the most dreadful feature of the human mind. It's historically pretty much equivalent to the permission to kill and slaughter.

@exador23
Indeed, stepping away from generalisations ("settler colonialism", "genocide", and all the other crap) towards critique of concrete actions is a first step to avoid anti-Semitism.

That doesn't mean that the critique of individual actions is no less anti-Semitic, e.g., when in the current conflict cause & effect are reversed or when the IDF is blamed for atrocities that are not raised in the conduct of the Russian army in Ulkraine (double standard).

So, no, I don't buy your way out.

@exador23
"we can't allow those who criticize Israeli policy to be called antisemitic"

I see. It's this last sentence what this is all about. To immunize "critique of Israel" against being labelled antisemitic. That is, to circumvent, e.g., the 3-D-rule (double standards, demonization, deligitimation).

Perhaps people first learn about the history of the conflic(s). It would cuation them from making grand claims that, in their generality, are prone to vocie antisemitic sentiments.

@Hcobb @adamgreenfield Yes.

τήν τε οἴησιν ἱερὰν νόσον ἔλεγε καὶ τὴν ὅρασιν ψεύδεσθαι

Heraclitus, fragment 46

Gnomic doesn’t begin to describe this one. Hmm. οἴησιν is translated variously as notion, opinion, conceit, arrogance, even as bigotry. The temptation is to amplify. ἱεραν νόσον is sacred disease or holy plague–which meant to the Greeks, epilepsy.

Opinion is a holy plague?…Conceit is epilepsy?…Bigotry is the sacred disease?…(Heraclitus) said, and seeing is deceiving.

Ösenzange. Wenn die eigene zu klein ist, einen Schuhmacher kontaktieren. Die haben das im Werkzeugbestand, auch maschinell mit Hebel und Stanzen und so.

A great performer on a great mission. Although Halloween is only growing as a custom here, I find the idea appealing that the spirits come and ask for their share. For us a nice way to ask for a one year blessing on one's house. Kind of spiritual fire insurance. And that it is children doing the errand is thrice-charming: to them, to us, and to the spirits. Happy Halloween to you and Mrs. Dr. Omed.

let me see...

Germany: When Jewish life can happen only with protection of the police while friends of Hamas can roam freely and without impediment.
