Left-wing activists are planning to stage a protest at the Buchenwald concentration camp on the anniversary of its liberation—accusing the memorial’s managers of not being “anti-Israel” enough.
The demonstration, organised under the banner “Keffiyehs in Buchenwald,” is set to take place on April 11th, the date the camp was freed from Nazi control in 1945.
The group is demanding the right to wear the keffiyeh—widely associated with the Palestinian cause and, in some contexts, pro-Hamas activism—at the site. Their campaign follows a ruling last year in which a German court said the memorial has the right to refuse entry to those wearing the scarf. Memorial director Jens-Christian Wagner has stressed that the keffiyeh was not automatically banned, but that “when it is used together with other symbols … to relativise Nazi crimes, then we would ask people to remove those symbols.”
A woman who claims to have been barred from the memorial last April asked ahead of the planned protest: “How can it be that the genocide against the Palestinians is now being denied in this very place?”
Because there is no genocide of the Palestinians and this pantomime certainly has no place at a former death camp, you b!#ch.
