Focus on Neukölln: Barricades burn, police officers - a look at the current unrest

focal point Neukölln - this can now be experienced again. Barricades burn, police officers are attacked and slogans chanted. When it comes to expressing the solidarity for Palestine, there are not long questions of demonstration law. In the Berlin society, it has been used to externalizing the Neukölln district. It is viewed as the turmoil of strangeness. It is not uncommon for conflicts to be spread in supposedly sociological jargon theses. In Stuttgart, the trail recently led to Eritrea, from Neukölln it goes to the Middle East.

The conflicts are not as far as if you listen to the slogans. Before the Federal Foreign Office, "Free Palestine from German Guilt" was recently called, as if the protesters had previously participated in a workshop on German memory policy. The message cannot be surpassed in historical -cladding obscenity. It is addressed to an aging core company that, please free itself from its historical burden: the German obligation to commit itself to the history of the Holocaust.

The trail leads to Kassel

Palestine free from German guilt - never heard? It was already to be read, in a serial manner on the art exhibition Documenta 15 in Kassel. The Indonesian curator collective Ruangrupa repeatedly defended the anti-Semitism allegations raised as racist and, as they formulated it, kept "to project and transfer and transfer German guilt and history on the Palestinian and other anti -olonial struggles". Wasn't that clear enough?

What was almost unnoticed in the Kasselan art space after a tiring permanent debate after a tiring permanent debate has now reached the street. It is about our historical -political self -image - especially in Neukölln.

according to a report by the Berliner Zeitung.
