Politics Theory Other

Germany, Israel, and staatsräson (part one) w/ Bue Rübner Hansen


Listen Later

Bue Rübner Hansen joins PTO to talk about his recent essay The New German Chauvinism. In the first part of our conversation we discussed the history of the German-Israeli alliance and how its emergence was far more complicated than is commonly supposed. We discussed the contrasting attitudes to Israel amongst the German public and the political and media class and big business. And we went on to discuss the distinct memory culture around the crimes of Nazism and the Holocaust, that emerged in West Germany during the Cold War and how elements of that culture fostered a political climate in Germany that is, at best, deaf to the suffering of the Palestinians. We also talked about the emergence of the Anti-German current within the German left and how its suspicion of the German working class stemmed from the obliteration of the history of working class opposition to the Nazis.
