Knapp zweieinhalb Monate nach einem tödlichen Brand in einem Wohnhaus in #Solingen ist ein weiteres Wohnhaus in Flammen aufgegangen. Die Bewohner*innen, überwiegend #Sinti und #Roma, konnten sich mit Verletzungen retten. Polizei und Staatsanwaltschaft gehen von #Brandstiftung aus.
Powerful letters by artist Jonas Staal and writer China Melville rejecting their DAAD Artist Residency in Germany this summer, in response to Nancy Fraser’s Albertus Magnus Professorship at Cologne being rescinded. Staal’s:
“I fail to imagine how you, as a representative of a German state institution, feel you are entitled to dictate to Jewish people what they are supposed to think or say about the crimes of the Israeli occupation.”
@pvonhellermannn Staal writes so poignantly -
"I am appalled by your #antisemitic narrative that equates the Israeli regime with the global Jewish diaspora. And I do not comprehend how, in consideration of the brutal history and shame of the #Holocaust and mass persecution which saw the killing of Jewish, #Roma, and #Sinti people, as well as #queer people and #communists, you are today actively contributing to a culture in which the oppression of speech of people faced with genocide is normalized."
