How did “imported antisemitism”, a far-right anti-immigrant buzz phrase, make it into the political mainstream? After all, Germans didn’t exactly need to import antisemitism. But this is the way we see it in Germany: if you haven’t committed genocide you can’t properly claim to be against it. I’m not making this up. You couldn’t make it up. Indeed, the political scientist Esra Özyürek discusses the belief in her excellent 2023 book Subcontractors of Guilt.
The thinking behind it is that because of our history, we teach the next generation to make sure it will never happen again. At school we studied the Holocaust every year. We didn’t learn to analyse antisemitism, but we learned to be very wary of it – or as the writer Max Czollek put it: “Today Germans know mainly one thing about Jews: that they killed them.”
Immigrants to Germany need to know a bit more than that if they want to become German citizens. They need to know when the state of Israel was founded, and who is allowed to become a member of one of the 40 Maccabi sports clubs. If you’re not born in Germany you have to prove you’re not antisemitic by learning facts about Jewish people.
But even if you were born here, like me, the statistics still refer to you as an immigrant if one of your parents comes from a different country. And as such, you are viewed with suspicion when it comes to the antisemitism you may have “imported”. During the last election, Merz suggested revoking German citizenship from dual nationals if they committed a crime. When asked if that meant, for example, getting on a bus without a ticket, he made it clear it related to antisemitism.
However, antisemitism is not a criminal offence in German law, so we see it everywhere. Jews have been arrested for holding up signs reading “Jews against genocide”. An Irish protester was arrested in Berlin for speaking Irish at a demonstration for Palestine because the authorities did not have an Irish translator present to check if they were “importing antisemitism” too. This has gone so far that the Council of Europe’s human rights commissioner has reprimanded Germany for criminalising protest against the war in Gaza – including curtailing the use of Arabic at protests. In the end Merz didn’t get his way, but he drove the message home: Germans like me with foreign heritage are Germans on trial.

Germany is ‘importing’ antisemitism, our leaders claim. Irony is not their strong point
Blaming migrants for the rise in anti-Jewish crimes shows a breathtaking lack of self-awareness , says author and academic Mithu SanyalMithu Sanyal (The Guardian)

#Listening to Sakhalin, a 2010 album by Oki Dub Ainu Band, which;
"... features Tonkori, the traditional stringed instrument of the Karafuto Ainu in a band setting with drums, bass, keyboard and heavy dub sound."
okidub.bandcamp.com/album/sakh…
I presume some of the songs, like Bekabeka, are in an Ainu language too. Like a blend of Japanese and Pacific triangle languages, maybe even a little like some South American languages I've heard bits of.
#music #Japan #Ainu #jazz #OkiDubAinuBand
Like everyone, I have favourite albums that I listen to again and again. But it's not often I finish listening to a new album, and then immediately put it on again. I think Oki Dub Ainu Band, is going to be one of those favourites I keep coming back to.
Still got the Utarhythm album to listen to as well!
