You mean the ban defined by the International* (Norwegian) Holocaust Remembrance Alliance? The IHRA that defended Norway's commemoration of the nazi Knut Hamsun? The same IHRA that defines antisemitism as "Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis."?

Though I'm guessing you mean specifically "Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor."

Which I thought I made pretty clear with the parallel between apartheid South Africa and apartheid Israel - just as I believe the colonial state of the US has no right to exist - so I believe that the colonial state of Israel has no right to exist either.

So when I hear people chant "From the river to the sea" - I (and solidarity scholars) don't see that as a call to violence against Jewish people - but as a reclamation of a slogan originally conjured up by Zionists for the equal rights of everyone in the Levant independent of their religion.

Right so you would have upheld and supported the 1982 Internal Security Acts in apartheid South Africa that outlawed chants like Mayibuye iAfrika because you "respect the law"

Thanks for telling on yourself.

mfs in this thread arguing misgendering doesn't matter while assuming everyone on the internet is a man

From said article: "Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly is an unsettling mixture of childish humor and fetishistic sexual innuendo, seemingly only meant to appeal to those who truly love every experience relating to farting."

As ridiculous as the leaked group chat shit is - their assessment of the EU benefiting from US navy power was on point.

Currently EU officials can decry the Trump admin as the literal devil, but they're awfully quiet when the same cabinet uses US might to attack Yemen to restore "freedom of navigation" through the Red Sea. Their politics of death and destruction are only an issue when their enemies don't align..

This^ - as @[email protected] noted - women and men are good at different things so I don't see why we can't require mixed gender teams with equal representation for pretty much all sports.

And if somebody cries "fOrCeD dIvErSiTy!!" then you never really cared about women's participation in sports anyways.

I mean it sure would do more than pretending it's not happening - but I get it - most Germans preferred to pretend they couldn't smell the smoke either.

And again you don't even have to risk your own safety by protesting - you could at least join a local community organizing group to help people most affected.

I'm sure you may think one person can't make a difference but I can guarantee that even a single person more that's helping out with mutual aid would be met with appreciation anywhere. Still good on you for financing charities - that is usually the very first step.

Also this isn't a sprint - it's a marathon - expecting protests now to have any immediate impact is just setting you up for failure - these fights have been fought for generations - so lock in and get ready to resist not just these 4 but the next 40 years.

And sorry if this feels overwhelming and you don't think you have the capacity - but even doing 1 day of volunteering a month is a good starting point.

Why try to do anything so this doesn't happen when it's easier to dig your head in the sand 🙃

But even in the Far East it is known that the AfD and BSW will only indirectly influence Germany's future international positions. The SPD is seen as open to stronger economic relations, while the CDU and especially the Greens are seen as hostile. Interestingly, the Chinese party press describes the Greens as "ultra-right".
