with Majed Abusalama, 28 April 2019
Majed Abusalama is one of three active members of the German BDS movement "The Humboldt Three" on trial in Berlin for disrupting a talk by an Israeli official who was hosted by the German-Israeli Society at Humboldt University in Berlin. Aliza Lavie, a member of Knesset and chairwoman of the Knesset Caucus for the Struggle Against the Delegitimization of the State of Israel was an Israeli government member during the 2014 attack on the besieged Gaza Strip, “Operation Protective Edge,” in which 2,220 Palestinians were killed. We discuss the German contribution to the international campaign to muzzle opponents of Israeli apartheiod and genocidal violence, and the German resistance to this attack on free speech.
