Shameful @goetheinstitut & @rosaluxisrael cancelled event in Tel Aviv devoted to Amos Goldberg and Bashir Bashir's book on Holocaust & Nakba. Israel once again seeks to exceptionalize Jewish suffering, as it erases suffering it causes. @chawichawi

While these two foundational tragedies are often discussed separately and in abstraction from the constitutive historical global contexts of nationalism and colonialism, Bashir's talk will explore the historical, political, and cultural intersections between them. He will argue that these intersections are embedded in cultural imaginations, colonial and asymmetrical power relations, realities, and structures. Critically investigating these intersections, he will claim, paves the way for a new political, historical, and moral grammar that enables decolonization and egalitarian bi-nationalism in Israel/Palestine.
