And that is why Vice is a trash publication. Here is the correct text:
https://www.tagesspiegel.de/kultur/chialo-erlass-gegen-antisemitismus-berlins-kultureinrichtungen-bekommen-neue-forderrichtlinien-11006422.html
And what is in the IHRA-definition?
https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/aussenpolitik/kultur-und-gesellschaft/-/216610
There’s nothing in there about “criticising the countries occupation of Palestinian lands”. You just can’t fucking mask your antisemitism by raging against Israel.
That is some valuable context, thank you. Definitely seems like skewed reporting from Vice. The definition as you posted it definitely seems better than what Vice reported, though its last sentence is so vague that it could easily be used to silence criticism, whether it was meant to do that or not.
You can. because you referenced the IHRA “definition” of antisemitism adopted by themselves, the IHRA, in 2016
Aka
their own definition, criticized specifically for conflating antizionism with antisemitism
aka
the “definition” that led to 200 scholars making a new definition debunking it
aka a definition being used currently to silence free speech. If you’re using it to silence critisism of israel you are weaponizing it against one of the original drafter’s intentions.
So why not consider silence yourself? I’ve had quite enough of this ridiculous tantrum you call a point
That makes me even more confused. Are those artists now going to be allowed to play and spread antisemitism (as defined above)?
