ANTISEMITISM But antisemitic insults are illegal in Germany, aren’t they? Couldn’t they be prosecuted? In principle, yes, but it is really difficult with artists because then they can fall back on artistic freedom. In those cases it is hard to press charges. And at the end of the day public condemnation is more important than legal battles. But these are grey zones, subject to interpretation. Take the cartoon published in Süddeutsche Zeitung [Netanyahu holds a bomb with the Star of David on it in front of a Eurovision banner and says “Next year in Jerusalem!”] which got the caricaturist fired. The Jewish community is convinced that it is a case of antisemitism and the media sell it that way, too. I disagree with that. So, it’s difficult... For two decades you led the country’s only academic centre dedicated to antisemitism research. What was your main focus? I was looking at why majorities discriminate against minorities using the same methods throughout history. Why yesterday it’s the Jews, the day before the Sinti and Roma and tomorrow the Muslim? What are the mechanisms? And the result is quite simple: It’s got nothing to do with those groups. It’s all in the way majorities need these projections. What’s interested me is how random and replaceable the victims are. In Germany, where antisemitism is still seen as a unique form of discrimination, your theory of the common denominators, by which you put Jews and Muslims in one basket as victims of the same principles of discrimination, got you a lot of flak, right? I’ve actually been subjected to vicious campaigns from people who didn’t understand that I wasn’t comparing or equating Jews with Muslims but the methods of discrimination. Their battle-cry was “Benz is equating Jews and Muslims and he must not do that, because Jews are good and Muslims are bad.” They’d ring up the TU press office and ask what kind of criminal history I have. They asked the TU chair’s office whether the money for the teaching position my wife held at the university, in a completely different area, came from my institute’s budget. They wanted to silence me. It was mostly activists from the far left and pseudo-scientists with highly dubious credentials. But in academic circles it was never a problem, and I consider it a success of mine to have brought up this wider understanding that animosity towards different minorities has the same roots. It doesn’t matter if it is religiously motivated or ethnically or what not. It almost seems as if humanity is beginning to learn that there are no good or bad minorities, but that the causes for ostracism are to be found in majority society. Unfortunately, the commotion we are seeing at the moment is getting in the way of such understanding. n ANTISEMITISM IN BERLIN AT A GLANCE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS PER YEAR / PERPETRATORS +11.19% RIGHT WING OTHERS VIOLENT CRIMES 259 233 288 264 225 197 227 176 7 12 147 132 128 114 210 200 191 179 217 190 205 169 3 3 6 9 6 13 10 7 DATA FROM THE BERLIN POLICE 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 FESTIVAL OF CONTEMPORARY THEATRE NEW PLAYS, GUEST PERFORMANCES, EVENTS, DEBATES & MUSIC 10 For festival programme, performances with English surtitles & tickets visit deutschestheater.de/en
