This chapter discusses the consequences of the BDS resolution passed in the Bundestag and the enforcement of the IRA definition of anti-Semitism, including the scanning of social media and potential erosion of democratic institutions. It also explores the backlash against a proposed clause linking cultural funding to adherence to the IRA definition and the growing influence of the far-right in Germany.
Featuring Emily Dische-Becker on how Germany became attached to a wildly narcissistic anti-antisemitism and Israeli proxy nationalism that have made it one of the most anti-Palestinian governments on earth.
