   "Sanctions against Palestine?   
   By Anis Hamadeh   
      
   ----------------------------------------------------------------   
   ---------------   
      
   The EU and the USA have suspended the transfer of subsidies for Palestine.   
   It could be derived from the media that this act is meant to be a punishment   
   of the Palestinian society for having voted for the wrong party. The West   
   did want these elections to be democratic, but under the condition that a   
   certain party wins. Hamas, who won the elections, is reproached with three   
   issues: that it does not acknowledge Israel's right of existence, that it   
   does not renounce violence, and that it does not keep existing contracts.   
      
   Isn't this cynical, one could object, as these three items characterize the   
   Jewish State much better than the Palestinian side: Israel has never   
   acknowledged the right of existence of the indigenous population. Israel has   
   never renounced violence, either. On the contrary, it is gloating about its   
   "targeted killings" and its continuous military attacks. Israel, thirdly,   
   does not keep contracts and UN resolutions, but makes unilateral decisions   
   by principle. The Palestinians neither have the same rights, nor a state or   
   an army, nor a decent infra-structure. Therefore the way the Palestinians   
   behave is almost irrelevant, for the power for change is not in their hands.   
      
   Beyond doubt, the invocation of Israel's right of existence is immediately   
   connected with the genocide of the Jews committed by Germans and Europeans.   
   Behind the demands addressed to Hamas there is the notion of "Never again   
   Hitler" which before had been ascribed to Fatah. Thus Palestinians are not   
   assessed according to Palestinian history, but according to German and   
   Jewish history.   
      
   Still many Palestinians ask themselves how Germany of all countries can so   
   unconditionally support a state which is ruling with the power of weapons,   
   which is practising a dubious segregation of races, pursueing a   
   blood-and-soil ideology, creating rightless subhumans, taking living space   
   in the East and a state that does not care for the human rights and   
   international law, as it considers itself as being racially and/or   
   religiously superior, compared with other states.   
      
   One has to be aware of the fact that the Nazi history has not sufficiently   
   been digested and a mindset of stereotypes still prevails according to which   
   there are inherently good and evil peoples and societies. The German public   
   until today is unable to conceptualize Jews in non-racist terms. If they are   
   not the evil guys they are the good guys and their opponents are the evil   
   guys. There is no other way to explain the absurd behavior towards the   
   Palestinians.   
      
   When one searches for the Nazi evil in the Palestinians one does not have to   
   search for it in the own past and present. Analogously, in the current   
   immigration debate those humanist values, that Germany is unable to fulfil,   
   are projected to measure "the other", distracting from the own behavior.   
   Psychologically, this is the - failing - attempt to chip evil, so that it   
   will not stand in one context with the own identity.   
      
   Only the cast of the roles has changed. The ideology and the mechanisms,   
   which had led to the genocide of the Jews in the West, are valid like   
   before. On the contemporary level, certainly, there are no gas chambers   
   employed anymore. This is the only way to keep the Jewish western trauma   
   working, by continuously inflicting it in an unreflected way upon originally   
   uninvolved parties. We cannot change this now. But we can explain it."
