“Jewish artists and academics in Germany have come out strongly against a new government resolution aimed at combating antisemitism, with some warning that it may lead to a surreal situation where Jewish and Israeli human rights groups are deemed antisemitic by the German state.”
“Historian Prof. Miriam Rürup, who heads the Moses Mendelssohn Center for European Jewish Studies, says she saw a ‘shocking’ subtext in the resolution. ‘It speaks of Jews as a “gift” and of “our” gratitude that Jewish life exists in contemporary Germany.’ To her, this resonates as a division into ‘them’ and ‘us,’ effectively othering Jews.
“As a Jew in Germany, she declares, ‘I don't want to be seen as a gift.’"
