Anette Dawn New Gallery 2010

"criticism of Israel is not a taboo"

An exhibition with the very appealing title of "anti-Semitism? Anti-Zionism? Criticism of Israel?" shows the time in the atrium of the Foreign Office. The Center for Research on Antisemitism at the TU Berlin prepared according to Yad Vashem in cooperation with these issues. The question marks in the title suggest it, here are questions. But which one? Welcomes

the visitor from a dry, witty and soulless OSCE definition of what is anti-Semitism. "Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be described as hatred of Jews." thunder, thinks to himself, but it gets even better. Even hidden behind this' perception of Jews' the subject, so no one should come to expire the idea incarnate Semites were behind the pesky anti-Semitism: raises "anti-Semitism Jews often before a conspiracy to the detriment of humanity, he makes Jews responsible for everything '. what's fasch '. " etc. The lexical jargon leads to blossom as "As anti-Zionism is defined here as a special form of anti-Semitism [...]" . Remains open, where they know something else underneath.

This analytic-stupid tone runs through the exhibition. We get plenty of anti-Semitic to see hate propaganda from different countries and contexts under which each case is that this is anti-Semitic hate propaganda.

If one is really understood by many boards, is the crucial question: How do I "properly without standing as an anti-Semite? In three panels, under the heading "criticism of Israel is not a taboo. - It's okay to criticize Israeli policy without having to use the statements anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist clichés" , note again the lack of subject, are To read about a dozen newspaper comments that go even with severely to Israel, but, at least according to View of the curator, are not anti-Semitic. Where to look for you if you want to do anything wrong? Right, first time among the Jews themselves (Haaretz, Yedioth Ahronoth), because, it's clear that can not ever be anti-Semitic. But then we fall back on examples from FAZ and mirrors, because we want to show that even you can as a German it!

The exhibition would obviously be a part, a guide to kosher criticism of Israel, on the other hand, numb with dramatic examples to the nuances that are not to engage with just positivistical Wortgeklimper, but is just about perpetuate quod Google Yahoo. The viewer learns of this exhibition, how many lunatics there are in the world, and even in Germany, and obtained the well-doer at the same time knowing that he is not one of them because he finally can do better.
