from Arab Jewish-Israeli perspective


First part, presentation:

Short Introduction.

My experience organizing and participating in the struggle as an Israeli Jew in Germany, how to deal with the German narrative, a racist narrative that is difficult to challenge, or should I say, to reach a place of confrontation is the difficulty.

The question of Arab Jews: in general as an identity question and of what can the role of Arab Jews within the struggle be.

Germans weaponizing our own identity against us trying themselves to become the jews by speaking for them, criminalisation attempts against us. (and about my own experience with German Law system)

How can we deal with the fact that we are also guests in the Palestinian struggle? We are politically engaged but still represent the oppressor.

Parts two: conversation

I know that this subject may bring many questions both from German comrades and both from other directions, I am happy to share my experience about Israel as someone who grew up there,
I think that for all of us, the more we know about this place the more we can dive deeper with our critics and cross the false narrative, especially in Germany.
