46] – Scientists
for Palestine [admin@scientists4palestine.com] on Wed., Sept. 10 at noon ET
will do a discussion Holocaust Memory and “Fighting Antisemitism” in Times of
Genocide. Professor Amos Goldberg, as part of the Bisan Lecture Series, will
lead the discussion. How is it that the
three countries in which Holocaust memory is most dominant—and which have
invested enormous efforts over the past three or four decades to globalize
Holocaust memory and the “fight against antisemitism”—Israel, the United
States, and Germany—are the very countries most involved in the genocide in
Gaza? In this lecture, Goldberg will
examine some historical processes that led to this since 1970s, and especially
from the 1990s onward. He will highlight the confrontation between mainstream
western Holocaust discourse and the anti/post-colonial discourse that also took
root in the West during the 1990s. The professor will pay particular attention
to the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which—as the Israeli philosopher Adi
Ophir aptly put it—functions as a discursive “Iron Dome” for Israel against any
effective criticism.
47] – Amos Goldberg is a professor of Holocaust history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He was among the initiators and drafters of the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism. In April 2024 he published in the Hebrew magazine Ischia Mekomit (Local Call), the article “Yes, It is Genocide”, which was the first full Hebrew article by an Israel based scholar, acknowledging the genocide.
