"Our film “No Other Land” on occupied Masafer Yatta’s brutal expulsion won best documentary in Berlinale. Israel’s channel 11 aired this 30 second segment from my speech, insanely called it “anti semitic” - and I’ve been receiving death threats since. I stand behind every word." pic.twitter.com/2burPfZeKO

Mc Carthyism - Made in Germany:

Berlinale: Filmmakers say what the rest of the world is saying

At the Berlinale film festival, Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers called for equality and peace. German politicians want to ban such hateful talk (Nathaniel Flakin)

The Berlinale film festival ended on Saturday evening with a gala, but if you read the German press, it was actually a »scandal«. The speeches were »alarming«, »shameful«, and »frightening«, full of »Israel hatred« and »antisemitism«. What had happened?

Yuval Abraham and Basel Adra, an Israeli and a Palestinian, won an award for their documentary film »No Other Land«. Abraham spoke for just 36 seconds:
»In two days, we will go back to a land where we are not equal. I am living under a civilian law, and Basel is under military law. We live 30 minutes from one another, but I have voting rights, and Basel is not having voting rights. I am free to move where I want in this land. Basel is, like millions of Palestinians, locked in the occupied West Bank. This situation of apartheid between us, this inequality, it has to end.«

His co-producer Adra took just 21 seconds: »I'm here celebrating the award, but also very hard for me to celebrate when there are tens of thousands of my people being slaughtered and massacred by Israel in Gaza. Masafer Yatta, my community, is being also razed by Israeli bulldozers. I ask one thing from Germany, as I am in Berlin here, to respect the UN calls and stop sending weapons to Israel.«

These are sober statements of liberal democratic principles. Who would dare to contradict? Should systematic inequality based on ethnicity (known in international law as »apartheid«) continue? Should Germany keep ignoring UN resolutions?

"Clear message at @berlinale ceremony by Basel Adra, co-producer of "No Other Land": "There are 10s of 1000s of my people being slaughtered...by #Israel in #Gaza. I ask 1 thing from #Germany...to respect the #UN calls and stop sending weapons to Israel" pic.twitter.com/7QUzMKujEh

An Israeli and a Palestinian stood together against the militaristic logic of both Likud and Hamas. It's an inspiring message – yet I have not found a single German publication that has quoted them in full.

Rather than engaging in debate, German politicians are demanding censorship. Olaf Scholz and his top cultural bureaucrat Claudia Roth each called the speeches »shockingly one-sided«. Justice minister Marco Buschmann called for »criminal consequences«. Even Anne Helm of the Left Party declared that »a line has been crossed«.

Berlin's mayor Kai Wegner called this an »unacceptable relativization« and declared that »there is no space for antisemitism in Berlin, and that also applies to the art scene.« This is the same Wegner who just two weeks ago said the AfD will be included in future editions of the Berlinale. The politicians of the in some federal states officially far right party had been disinvited following protests, but the mayor is demanding »equal treatment« for them. In other words, for Wegner, literal far right politicians are OK, but critical Israelis are not welcome.

Over the years, Berlinale has hosted some spectacular Israeli documentaries. Good films need to be critical of the reality they are trying to portray. If all criticism of Israel is rejected as antisemitic, then no one will dare to invite Israeli directors for fear they might say something negative about their government. What will be left at Berlinale? Just Tatort episodes and Netanyahu campaign ads?

German politicians are claiming this will cause »damage to the Berlinale«. The opposite is the case: their demands for extreme censorship are a mortal threat to Berlin's art scene. Do they even realize how far outside the global mainstream they are? In calling for a ceasefire, Saturday's prizewinners were saying what the whole world except for Germany is saying – even Joe Biden has been mumbling about it.

Once again, we see how this virulent solidarity with Israel comes at the expense of Jewish life in Germany. What do we call this ferocious desire to silence Jews who don't comply with the German Staatsräson? Last week, the Israeli director Udi Aloni said: »It seems like there is a new form of antisemitism in Germany, that no one calls antisemitism: the censorship of progressive intellectual Jewish voices.« He admitted that he was afraid to quote Walter Benjamin or Franz Rosenzweig in this country »because I might get canceled«.

It seems German politicians don't want us to hear these speeches. They cannot defend the reality – so they try to avoid discussions about it. We must hear Israelis and Palestinians when they stand together to call for equality and peace.

Mon Sundaygimp (givré)

(and the original #nofilter pic)

Les règles du jeu sont simples - Choisissez une photo (de préférence la vôtre), éditez avec Gimp et taguez #sundaygimp, un dimanche; puis suivez le tag #sundaygimp (et aussi #dimanche-photo-edition)
Remarque: Si vous n’utilisez pas Gimp, mais que vous voulez toujours jouer, utilisez simplement le tag #Sunday-photo-edit et modifiez les images avec votre éditeur d’image préféré.

The rules of the game are simple - choose a photo (preferably your own), edit with Gimp and tag #sundaygimp on a Sunday 😉 … and follow the tag #sundaygimp (and also #Sunday-photo-edit)
Note: if you do not use Gimp, but still want to play along, just use the tag #Sunday-photo-edit and edit the images with your favorite image editor

Some testing to see the chance on #diaspora* for the #altText, #alt4me and #alt4you movement as it exists on mastodon.

Uploading a image to diaspora* as seen above doesn't allow to add altText directly to that image.

The image url upload in this post is:
https://pod.geraspora.de/uploads/images/scaled_full_0923e4d988d129239c49.webp

Using the thumb_medium size image url and adding the very same image as mark down and adding altText it would look like this:

At least in the post preview there is no hover over text available on the thumb nail added by markdown.
The complete markdown code used looks like this:
![basic avatar background of the actual tupambae.org server. The image is gimped compilation of the friendica logo together with the CC published permafleur image and the copy left sign in the center of the image](https://pod.geraspora.de/uploads/images/thumb_medium_0923e4d988d129239c49.webp)

If the altText shows up as hover over, a workaround would be to upload images as restricted publication toe a picture upload aspect that contains no contacts of the diaspora profile and insert it than into a public post with markdown using the altText option markdown provides. Uploaded images on diaspora are not restricted to the respective aspects group they are uploaded to but publicly available so this work around would work nicely.
