Last night a van was driven into the crowd at Berlin’s Pride during Christopher Street Day. A woman is dead. At least 16 are injured, several fighting for their lives. The suspect is a 21-year-old already known to police from the Islamist scene.
It is horrific. A human being lost her life at a celebration of freedom.
But here is the tragedy almost no one will name: many of the same people who march under ‘Queers for Palestine’ are struck down by the exact ideology they defend. They stand guard over a movement that does not grant them the right to exist.
This is a tragic textbook example of the patterns I have described again and again. Symbolic politics collapses the moment reality shows up.
There is no alliance with those who want you dead.
