Die »Bild«-Zeitung soll Teile eines geheimen Hamas-Dokuments mitsamt einer verfälschten Deutung veröffentlicht haben. Das Umfeld von Premier Netanyahu soll es ihr zugespielt haben, um die Proteste gegen ihn zu diskreditieren. spiegel.de/ausland/israel-wi…

My faculty colleagues and I have been banned from Widener Library for two weeks to punish us for reading quietly while displaying quotations from the Library's statement of values

Roughly 25 Harvard professors conducted a silent study-in at Widener Library on Wednesday to protest the library’s decision to temporarily ban pro-Palestine students who held a similar demonstration last month. @tillyrobin and @neilhshah15 report. thecrimson.com/article/2024/…

Astonishing that FAZ and Welt would agree to publish laudatory death notices for Rudolf Hess in 1987:

The long, sad saga of Robert Habeck, who thought he cracked the code of climate politics -- an excerpt (gift link!) from my new book: foreignpolicy.com/2024/09/27…
Hard Truths Come for Germany’s Climate Prophet

Hard Truths Come for Germany’s Climate Prophet

Robert Habeck may be deepening the social divisions over environmental policy that he always wanted to overcome.

Berlin police arrested a 10-year-old at a pro-Palestinian demonstration for carrying a Palestinian flag. Disturbing, shameful, Germany 2024.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The child was without his parents, and was set up by demonstrators to provoke the police. He was held by the police until, 90 minutes later, his father came and picked him up. x.com/polizeiberlin/…

One slight clarification— to the best of my knowledge, health care has not been directly interrupted due to claims of antisemitism. Though closing community centers and the social services they provide can certainly have real effects on the health of vulnerable communities.

“Who needs the AfD when Chancellor Olaf Scholz is willing to call for deportations “on a grand scale” on the cover of Der Spiegel or when the Green Party leader Robert Habeck is happy to traffic in fear and xenophobia?” @plk in @nytimes

It’s also worth noting that Martin Langer, who took the picture of Ewert, was one of the really great German photographers and one of the really great German humorists of recent times. We are all poorer for his death in 2022.
