A German court has ruled that a Nazi concentration camp memorial has the right to refuse entry to those wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf.

The higher administrative court in the eastern state of Thuringia on Wednesday rejected a request from a woman to be allowed entry to the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial while wearing a keffiyeh.

“It is unquestionable that this would endanger the sense of security of many Jews, especially at this site,” the court said.

      I actually care very very much about the “feelz” of diaspora jews, who are actually not “coddled”, as evidenced by (a) antisemitic attacks (actual ones, not IHRA fake ones), and (b) the number of people lured by the fake Zionist promise of aliyah. anti-Semitism is very real, in the West as well. But the danger to western Jews is not in the pro-palestinian movement, it’s with the Far Right and its neolib enablers. The Christian Zionists are a far bigger threat to Jews who in Israel they have found the ideal “Madagascar” to get rid of the diaspora.

          You can’t see, really, how anti-Semitism in the West is carrying Zionism’s water? The Zionist big lie is that Jews need Israel for safety. Every Zionist criminal is justifying their crimes by repeating “I have no other choice”. Zionism gets its legitimacy from Western antisemitism. Ending the Zionist colonial project means stopping and reversing the flow of settlers to Israel. That means that our job in the West is (also) to make it a silly choice for any Jew to even consider leaving here for some middle eastern bunker.

            1. I am not disputing there anti semtism out there
            2. jews are not the only people facing prejudice, in fact in modern western society they face less now that they assimilated into white majoritiesd
            3. Other face greater prejudice today than jews by a large margin. US is putting latinos into camps.

            FINALLY: THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE WESTERN JEW, THIS IS ABOUT ISRAEL GENOCIDING ARABS.

            And every time like clock work, somebody slides into the discussion about the genocide with: bUt ABoUT tHe WeStErN JeW, ThEY ArE SuFferIng too

            That dilatory to the genocide discussion. Western jew will be fine, children in gaza are being bomb with US/EU supplied weapons today.

              You are not reading what I’m writing, are you?

              I am not saying Jews are the only people facing prejudice.

              I am not saying they face the biggest prejudice.

              Read what the fuck I’m actually saying instead of yelling at what I’m not saying.

              I am drawing a direct link between the genocidal Israeli apartheid state and antisemitism in the West.

              I am talking about how the one feeds and legitimizes the other.

              I am talking about how defeating the one helps defeat the other.
