Demonstrators for Palestinian rights have been arrested in Berlin, where authorities claim recent protests were “antisemitic.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Abir Kopty<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the most striking things I\u2019ve heard since I moved to Berlin eight years ago was from a Palestinian-German friend and a mother, who told me that after every pro-Palestinian protest she takes her kids to, she tells them not to mention this to their classmates to avoid harassment and judgment at school.<\/p>\n

I do not think this is unique. I think this is the experience of many Palestinian families in Germany, who are afraid their kids will be harassed for stating their Palestinian origin or aspirations for freedom. I\u2019m terrified that this might be soon my experience, with my kids. That is not a fear in a vacuum. It is bred by the growing anti-Palestinian discourse in Germany. What is happening in Germany is growing racism against Palestinians amidst silence and denial of the vast political currents.<\/p>\n

Last August, a whole incitement campaign took place in the German media against Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas for his unfortunate use of terminology. He used \u201cholocausts\u201d to describe the many Israeli crimes against Palestinians, when he obviously meant massacres. An intern in Palestinian diplomacy would know he shouldn\u2019t use this word, but Abbas did. Watching how this unfortunate use of terminology was interpreted as \u201cHolocaust denial\u201d by German media and politicians is irritating but predicable.<\/p>\n

The German public sphere does not miss any opportunity to incite against Palestinians. Even the German police declared that they will open an investigation against Mahmoud Abbas for \u201cHolocaust denial.\u201d This is not about Germans battling Holocaust denial, but rather their attempt to export their feelings of guilt onto the shoulders of Palestinians, and moreover, to use such incidents to cover up the fact that antisemitic sentiments and racism persists in their society.<\/p>\n

Last June, the\u00a0Goethe Institut<\/a>, a German state-funded cultural association, decided to disinvite prominent\u00a0Palestinian<\/a>\u00a0writer and journalist Mohammed el-Kurd from speaking at its conference, \u201cBeyond the Lone Offender.”<\/p>\n

“After some consideration, the Goethe-Institut decided that\u00a0Mohammed el-Kurd<\/a>\u00a0was not an appropriate speaker for this forum: in previous posts on social media, he had made several comments about\u00a0Israel<\/a>\u00a0in a way the Goethe-Institut does not find acceptable,” stated the Institut.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cAppropriate\u201d and \u201cacceptable\u201d are not random here \u2014 they reflect a deeply enshrined approach in Germany towards the Palestinian cause. It\u2019s patronizing: \u201cWe, the Germans, can teach you, the victims, from our comfort zone, what should or should not be said about your oppressor.”<\/p>\n

But it also shows how Germans are subject to a ministry of thought when it comes to Israel. The \u201cappropriate\u201d and \u201cacceptable\u201d is not according to German criteria, it\u2019s what Israel considers appropriate and acceptable.<\/p>\n

Being haunted by their past, Germans are trying to clean their conscious at the expense of the Palestinians. Antisemitism is not their problem any more, it is the Palestinians\u2019. Palestinians who are not going to bear this responsibility and apologize are not appropriate and acceptable voices. Down this road there is a dangerous slope into a racist society that persecutes Palestinians for just being Palestinians.<\/p>\n

\nIn May, Berlin’s police banned\u00a0several Nakba Day protests. When hundreds of activists took to\u00a0the street despite the ban, they\u00a0were faced with brutal attacks by the police, who detained scores of them. In one clip,\u00a0shared\u00a0<\/a>by Human Rights Watch, an officer tells a woman she is being held because “she shouted \u2018Free Palestine.'”<\/p>\n

The anti-Palestinian practices and discourse have been on the rise in recent years. It\u2019s not just populist behavior in the streets among right-wing groups. It\u2019s not in the margins. It\u2019s in the mainstream \u2014 among officials, elected representatives, official institutions, civil society and media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Journalist Nemi el-Hassan\u00a0was fired by the German channel WDR<\/a>\u00a0after a right-wing activist published a photo of her on an al-Quds March in Berlin in 2014, when she was 17, way before she became a journalist. The way the German media joined the attack on her and treated her as a\u00a0sinner who needed to apologize<\/a>\u00a0was shameful.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s state broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) recently fired seven Arab and Palestinian journalists over their social media posts it condemned as \u201cantisemitic.\u201d Two of them, Palestinian journalists Farah Maraqa and Maram Salem, have recently won their case against the DW<\/a>. The court ruled that their dismissal was not legally justified.<\/p>\n

Also in May, an exhibition of Palestinian artists’ work as part of the renowned art festival\u00a0Documenta 15<\/a>\u00a0in the city of Kassel\u00a0<\/a>was\u00a0targeted with racist vandalism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Palestinian artists are being denied visas to come and perform in Germany. Numerous lectures and events have been cancelled over recent years after pressure and accusations of antisemitism.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Dr Anna-Esther Younes, a German-Palestinian academic,\u00a0was disinvited<\/a>\u00a0from speaking at an event after a secret dossier compiled about her was shared with organizers. A secret dossier!<\/p>\n

No, these are not random unfortunate events. This is a systematic anti-Palestinianism. It\u2019s not anymore about Germans being afraid to speak up \u2014 that job has long been accomplished; Germans often refrain from any criticism of Israel or showing any solidarity with Palestinians. It is now also leading to Germans refraining from defending the right of Palestinian voices to be heard.<\/p>\n

This silence is allowing anti-Palestinian sentiment to settle deeply in the society\u2019s mindset, beyond the right-wing or the Zionist lobby.\u00a0This is a process that can take us to a very dark place. It is terrifying to think that this is happening in a country that has so much to learn from its own history. It is a threat to Palestinians in Germany, depriving them of a safe space to speak about their own cause in public.<\/p>\n

The attempt by Israel\u2019s defenders to make being pro-Palestinian rights synonymous with antisemitism is destructive for Palestinians in Germany on so many levels. It asks generations of Palestinians in Germany to regulate their identity and feelings about their homeland in a manner that is appropriate and acceptable for their oppressor.<\/p>\n

What will come next? Forcing Palestinians to hide their identity so as not to be hunted in the streets?\u00a0The story of my German Palestinian friend shows that this is already happening.<\/p>\n

This should be extremely alarming for Germans. Trying to rid yourself of a dark past towards one group should not happen by creating a dark present for another.<\/p>\n

Rather than retreat, we need to make a lot of noise when faced with racism, and we have to stand with everyone who faces racism, and build alliances with other communities who face racism. We need to do that for our kids, so they can grow up being proud Palestinians and human beings who hold values of dignity and freedom without any fear of bullying or harassment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
