It's the only link I have and, for some reason, it only works via the FAZ app. I can share a PDF with you if you share your email address.

Warum suggerieren Sie hier (wiederholt), Stanley habe selbst diesen Vergleich gezogen, statt sich auf die Kontroverse über Masha Gessens Vergleich zu beziehen, um einen ganz anderen Punkt zu machen? Der Unterschied zwischen der Erwähnung und dem Ziehen eines Vergleichs sollte Ihnen klar sein.

7/ Cf. the English translation of Stanley's speech below.

I can’t speak to your experience – though I imagine you’ve faced your share of hostility – but this is certainly among the harsher reactions I’ve come across in my little neck of the woods!

Here's a link to the German version: zeitung.faz.net/data/523/rea...

6/ Normative questions about free speech aside, I find it hard not to feel for Jason. Given his family’s history, especially in Germany, the scene feels bitter and deeply sad.

5/ In the interview with taz, Stanley also said he was shocked by the hostility, noting that he neither supports BDS nor questions Israel’s right to exist (he characterises his views as 'conservative'). His talk, he said, was mainly about the November Pogrom & the liberal Jewish tradition of debate.

4/ Audience members reportedly began shouting; Stanley was asked to leave the stage and escorted out a side door. According to the interviewer, the Jewish Community of Frankfurt later distanced itself from him, accusing him of making “relativising comparisons,” without specifying which, however.

3/ He also mentioned the controversy surrounding Masha Gessen’s Hannah Arendt Prize and argued that figures like Arendt and Einstein – because of their critical positions on Israel – might not be welcome in today’s Germany. For context, see the report below:

2/ Beyond Stanley’s own account, little is known at this point. He had spoken about his German–Jewish family’s history, quoted his grandmother Ilse Stanley’s memoirs, and reflected on freedom of expression as part of the Jewish intellectual tradition. It's unclear what exactly sparked the outburst.

So glad to hear you made it — congratulations to all of you!
