Während ich dir grundsätzlich zustimme, wird die Sache leider schwierig, wenn man offizielle Texte oder Publikationen verfassen muss. Da wird dann jede Entscheidung für oder gegen das Gendern direkt zu einer Grundsatzfrage, mit der alle am Text Beteiligten irgendwie leben können müssen. Das ist gar nicht so einfach. Meist kommt eine Beidnennung als Kompromiss aber durch, manchmal auch Partizipform.

Mostly "from the river to the sea" (which I know isn't historically anti-semitic but has been used increasingly in the context of denying Israel's right of existence and is now even banned on demonstrations in Germany), they also demand the local university to dismiss Jewish or Israel-friendly professors. I looked at social media presences of some of the organizations that support the demonstrations and some of them downplay or even celebrate the October attacks by Hamas.
That being said, there certainly is public pressure to generalize all pro-Palestinian protests as anti-semitic - which is very wrong and I think it's highly problematic that some politicians fuel this narrative. It does, however, make it even harder for someone with a nuanced point of view to join the protests (not an excuse, just an explanation why the demonstrations become more and more extremist).
Because at demonstrations that call Israel out for what it does, they shout anti-semitic stuff. I don't want to take part in a demonstration that spreads anti-semitism.
You obviously don't understand the difference between "a holocaust" and "the Holocaust". The image we're discussing here says "the Holocaust". No need to use insults to compensate for you own ignorance. Maybe go read some Wikipedia.
It is fueling it because criticism of Israeli politics is constantly mixed with antisemitic narratives. That's the fault of antisemites of course, but the problem is there and cannot be denied. As I said, I don't agree with how it's handled, but it needs to be acknowledged that it's a hard problem to solve. Believe me, I wish all this was easier. I wish I could protest Israels actions without being seen as an antisemite but I can't because of the dynamics of the public discourse which is driven by extremists of all sides. The discourse here has been poisoned by antisemites, racists and islamophobes to an extent where expressing a nuanced and/or pure-hearted opinion on the matter is almost impossible.
Yes it does. It creates awareness for antisemitism and fascism. It makes you feel responsible for political changes as an individual, which is important for a functioning democracy.
A Nazi party is currently on the rise here, they're called AfD. Obviously, it doesn't work for those people, but it can't be expected to work for everyone. There have been mass protests against that party though (I'm talking multiple millions of people all across Germany were protesting) under the motto "Nie wieder ist jetzt" (Never again is now). I think that shows how the knowledge about the Holocaust mobilizes people to act against right wing extremists.
I'm not happy with the official reactions of the German government to Israel. You need to understand, however, that after Germany tried to eradicate Jews, we've made it a priority to defend their right for a safe home. I agree that they currently abuse this right in many ways. There has certainly also been criticism among German highly ranked politicians of Israel's actions, albeit probably not enough. You need to understand though that antisemitism is still rooted in German society, and it is important not to fuel it. That's a fine line to walk on there. I agree that it's probably not handled optimally currently, but it's also not as easy as you make it out to be.
Because everything doable has to be done to prevent something like this from happening ever again. Feeling some guilt is a small price to pay. Sincerely, a German
Bin in der Situation. Müsste wahrscheinlich 3k€ einplanen und ich hasse Autos wie die Pest, würde es nur aus rein pragmatischen Gründen machen, würde auch nicht mal eins besitzen und wahrscheinlich maximal 3x im Jahr eins leihen. Das steht einfach in keinem Verhältnis.
I keep telling myself I need to start using a password manager but I'm worried I won't be able to log into things on my phone or other devices like my work computer when I need to because I don't know the password. Is that a legitimate worry or is there a solution for this? How do you sync passwords between computer and phone?
