Some potential sources commenting about the situation in Germany

• ‘Unorthodox’ author Deborah Feldman blasts German ‘taboo’ against criticizing Israel, The Times of Israel
• Susan Neiman: Germany on Edge – In recent weeks, Germany’s reflexive defenses of Israel and suppression of its critics have assumed a fevered pitch, The New York Review of Books
• Hannah Arendt would not qualify for the Hannah Arendt prize in Germany today, The Guardian
• Opinion: Germany pledged ‘never again.’ Here’s how it’s grappling with Israel’s bombing of Gaza, Los Angeles Times
• My family’s past, and Germany’s, weighs heavily upon me. And it’s why I feel so strongly about Gaza, The Guardian

There is more ... I almost wonder if it's enough for a standalone article. Andreas JN466 14:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm sure it is. There are tons of rs about the various debates the "antisemitism commissioners" have been involved in. (t · c) buidhe 17:35, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Here are some more sources:

• How Germany became mean, New York Times
• Germany’s Stifling of Pro-Palestinian Voices Pits Historical Guilt Against Free Speech, New York Times
• "Refusing Epistemic Violence: Guernica-Gaza and the ‘German Context’", Afterall: A Journal of Art, Context and Enquiry, Volume 57, Issue 1

In the wake of the recent ICJ advisory opinion on the occupations, there are also concerns voiced by German law experts that Germany may be out of step with international law. See e.g.:

• Die Zeitenwende beginnt im Nahen Osten, Verfassungsblog

This points out that the German view that apartheid accusations against Israel are antisemitic is at odds with the ICJ opinion published last month stating that Israel violates Article 3 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, which is specifically about segregation and apartheid. (As I see it, Germany now has a choice of either dropping its antisemitism claim with regard to such statements or of describing the International Court of Justice as an antisemitic institution.)

• Power to the People, Verfassungsblog

Mentions that for German discourse around Israel in particular, "the far-reaching findings of the court must and should lead to a further reconsideration of the previous foreign policy line".

I'd be happy to collaborate on an article ... though I am not quite sure where to start. It requires something more substantial than opinion articles, even if they have appeared in first-rate sources like the New York Times and Verfassungsblog (which, despite its name, is a serious source). Open to ideas. --Andreas JN466 14:37, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, Buidhe, that's great. I've sat down and made a very modest start. See German anti-antisemitism. I am sure you can do a lot better than me, so I'd be delighted if you could help improve it ... Regards, Andreas JN466 22:42, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
