"The dead can not be the price of talking!"

Two courageous activists living in Germany bear witness to the repressive atmosphere in the country

where dissenting voices who are not agreeing with aiding and abetting the #genocide in #Gaza and the murderous settler #colonialism in #WestBank

are silenced and being threatened with negative consequences to their careers and public reputation.

What carries the contradiction between the declared intent to always abide the law and the actual negation of fundamental moral norms by the authoritarian principle of Staatsräson over the top

is that this happens in a country that carries the historic guilt of the Holocaust

praising itself to be a world champion in acknowledging this burden and acting accordingly by honoring the rule of humanitarian and international law

while actually ignoring every lesson resulting out of this singular crime

by being complicit in the mass murder of indirect victims of the Holocaust who lost the greater part of their land in the process of building a state for the victims of German fascism condemning them to live a life of colonized subjects,

who now are all the more humiliated

firstly by Germany watching as they are killed without any justified reason in the name of Israel

secondly by legitimizing this in granting the perpetrator a right of self defence justified by the sole crime of the massacre from 7th October 2023 committed by Hamas,
a right that seems to have an eternity clause and never runs out of validity no matter how high the cost for the indiscriminately punished Palestinians

and thirdly by implementing pressure on German citizens to incite fear so that they never speak out against this crime even though the risk of stepping out of the conforming masses is far lower than what every Palestinian under Israeli occupation has to endure.
