13 | We are an open coalition of Berlin nightlife workers who, in light of the latest wave of military violence and dispossession unleashed on Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah, Jaffa, the West Bank and Gaza by the state of Israel and in the tradition of internationalist solidarity, have decided to break the suffocating silence that looms over our city’s cultural scene. We believe it is time, and in fact way overdue, to take a clear stance against Israeli apartheid and the decades-long, ongoing colonial campaign of expulsion, enclosure and ethnic cleansing that the state of Israel has been carrying out against the Palestinian people. We stand in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings and acknowledge their right of return and to self-determination and freedom of movement. | |||||||||||

22 | We extend our solidarity to our Jewish siblings inside Germany, in Israel and beyond who are speaking out and standing up for the equal rights of Palestinians. We believe a wide-reaching progressive movement of anti-racist and anti-colonial solidarity is essential in stopping the appropriation of the Palestinian cause by reactionary and anti-Semitic forces such as white supremacist groups, Turkish nationalists and religious fundamentalisms. | natascha sadr haghighian | artist | berlin | ||||||||

28 | We will no longer be silenced by the German identity politics that weaponizes the collective trauma brought upon Jewish people under Nazism in order to control the conversation on Palestine and censor voices supporting Palestinian liberation as well as Jewish dissent. We believe that the uncritical prioritization of the narrative of German guilt serves to distort the violent reality of German military and economic support for Israel and mask the complicity with the systemic oppression of Palestinian people. We believe that the politics of racial supremacy and apartheid, regardless of where they happen in the world, should be a cause for outrage to anyone on the left, especially here in Germany. | Dina Shaban | ||||||||||

39 | For too long your hold on the city’s alternative spaces and cultural institutions has been abused to bully dissident voices into silence. If the burden of the memory of your genocidal grandparents compels you to do anything, it should be to stand back and allow progressive Arab and Jewish voices to lead the way. | Lazy Rosario | Producer/DJ | Berlin | ||||||||

50 | Wir sind eine offener Zusammenschluss von Menschen, die im Berliner Nachtleben arbeiten. Angesichts der jüngsten Welle brutaler Enteignungen und militärischer Gewalt des Staates Israel gegen die Palästinenser*innen in Sheikh Jarrah, Jaffa, der West-Bank und in Gaza, haben wir uns in der Tradition internationalistischer Solidarität entschlossen, das erdrückende Schweigen in der Kulturszene unserer Stadt zu brechen. Wir glauben, dass es an der Zeit, ja längst überfällig ist, klar Haltung zu beziehen gegen das israelische Apartheidsregime und das jahrzehntelange, bis heute andauernde koloniale Projekt der Vertreibung, Abriegelung und ethnischen Säuberung des palästinensischen Volkes. Wir zeigen uns solidarisch mit unseren palästinensischen Geschwistern und erkennen ihr Recht auf Rückkehr, auf Selbstbestimmung und auf Bewegungsfreiheit an. | Tba O | cultural worker | Berlin | ||||||||

60 | Wir solidarisieren uns mit unseren jüdischen Geschwistern in Deutschland, in Israel und darüber hinaus, die sich für die Rechte von Palästinenser*innen einsetzen. Wir glauben, dass eine große, antirassistische und antikoloniale Solidaritätsbewegung notwendig ist, um die Vereinnahmung der palästinensischen Sache durch reaktionäre und antisemitische Kräfte, wie zum Beispiel durch Rechtsextremist*innen, türkische Nationalist*innen oder religiöse Fundamentalist*innen, zu stoppen. | Yoav | ||||||||||

67 | Wir werden uns nicht länger von einer deutscher Identitätspolitik zum Schweigen bringen lassen, die das Leid, das der Nationalsozialismus über jüdische Menschen gebracht hat, instrumentalisiert - denn das Ziel dieser Instrumentalisierung ist es, den Diskurs über Palästina zu kontrollieren und Stimmen für die palästinensische Befreiung sowie jüdischen Dissens mundtot zu machen. Wir glauben, dass die Konzentration auf das deutsche Schuldnarrativ dazu dient, von der deutschen militärischen und wirtschaftlichen Unterstützung für die Gewalt Israels abzulenken und die Kompliz*innenschaft mit der systemischen Unterdrückung des palästinensischen Volkes zu verschleiern. Wir glauben, dass eine Politik der rassistischen Vorherrschaft und Apartheid bei jedem Menschen in der politischen Linken auf Empörung stoßen sollte (besonders hier in Deutschland), und zwar unabhängig davon, wo in der Welt diese Politik stattfindet. | boris shani | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd5fNbLCiIg&t=202s | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd5fNbLCiIg&t=202s | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd5fNbLCiIg&t=202s | |||||||
