A German court has ruled that a Nazi concentration camp memorial has the right to refuse entry to those wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf.
The higher administrative court in the eastern state of Thuringia on Wednesday rejected a request from a woman to be allowed entry to the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial while wearing a keffiyeh.
“It is unquestionable that this would endanger the sense of security of many Jews, especially at this site,” the court said.
Guilt has no factor in this. Only shamelessness and German white supremacy.
I’m really confused by this comment.
So the guilt part comes in the idea that because Germans perpetuated the worst historical genocide against the Jewish people, they therefore will now bend over backwards to support the Jewish people.
This has similarities with “white guilt” elsewhere, such as in the US with black and native populations. It’s usually used as a smear against white activists in favor of BLM, or against the Dakota Access pipeline, or other such cases.
There are alternative explanations that aren’t so adjacent to the arguments people are using to derail valid protest movements.
“Germany supports genocide because they feel guilty about doing genocide”
…
Nobody supporting Israel has any guilt towards the Holocaust. This is the most contradictory statement one can make.
Germany supports white people ethnically cleansing the Middle East of brown people. For more context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH03uLuOtSY
