It becomes overly clear why #MeToo was considered such a threat by powerful men and why they have done everything to mock and discredit it.

Die intellektuelle Dürftigkeit des Kulturstaatsministers Weimer erkennt man daran, dass er den #Kolonialismus u.a. darum aus dem Gedenkstättenkonzept streicht, weil er nicht "auf deutschem Boden stattgefunden hat". Dieser Logik zufolge müsste man auch den #Holocaust herausnehmen.

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand.
Towards the end of WW2, the French were shocked when the US refused to let its own Black soldiers join the celebration the liberation of Paris.

It's a remarkable trajectory, since Paris in 2015, but especially since Copenhagen in 2009.
The US and increasingly Europe have washed their hands of a catastrophe of their own making.
And the Rest is solving it for themselves with investment and tech from China.

Mamdani embodies a pro-Palestinian politics that truly distinguishes between the state of Israel and the Jewish people, and truly takes antisemitism seriously as its own problem. That makes him a threat to those who want to absolutely conflate antisemitism and anti-Zionism, whether the ADL or WoL.
The pro-Palestine group Within Our Lifetime has already decided that Zohran Mamdani has sold out the pro-Palestine cause... by condemning swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn. forward.com/culture/7822...
Mamdani's first statement on antisemitism as mayor-elect got some weird pushback
After someone spraypainted a swastika on a yeshiva, Zohran Mamdani condemned antisemitism. Somehow, this generated conspiracy theories.

Wie Claude Meisch das Luxemburger Schulsystem zerlegt
Der Bildungsminister baut ausschließlich Europaschulen und plant die Angleichung der Luxemburger Schulen an das europäische Modell. Das bedeutet das Ende des Luxemburger Schulsystems, wie wir es seit Jahrzehnten kennen. Eine Analyse.

Conflating Jews with Zionism (what people protest against) is not only anti-Semitic even according to IHRA, but is probably what went through the head of the attacker from Manchester as he stabbed Jews to death on Som Kippur. Congratulations Keir Starmer for the dumbest tweet.
