”February 2024. Sitting at a table with German scholars. More than 20,000 people already killed in Gaza.
One of them, a specialist of the region, was speaking loudly, almost proudly. He was talking about the Israeli war on Gaza, its repercussions in Europe, and the pro-Israel stance of universities. He criticized those who expected more from German scholars.
Then I said: “But German scholars are not really fighting back, nor willing to take a clear stand. Maybe this is the moment to give something back to the places you build your carriers on. Even a little.”
Something changed.
His eyes turned red, his face tightened. He looked straight at me and asked me:
“But do you condemn Hamas?””
