Deutschlands Außenpolitik ist nicht nur nicht feministisch, sie verstößt eklatant gegen die Leitlinien, die sich die Bundesrepublik selbst gesetzt hat. Mein Kommentar für @zenith_online

Sargnagel für die feministische Außenpolitik

Die Haltung der Bundesregierung im Gaza-Krieg läuft nicht nur den selbst gesteckten Prinzipien entgegen, sondern erweist vor allem dem Engagement für Frauenrechte im Nahen Osten einen Bärendienst.

I reviewed Iza Hussin’s book “The Politics of Islamic Law: Local Elites, Colonial Authority, and the Making of the Muslim State” for @PoPpublicsphere . Her thoughtful analysis is a call for more comparative work in Islamic law. Do buy a copy! It’s worth it!

The German parliament has voted for a resolution that declares the BDS anti-Semitic thereby signalling support to Israel’s right-wing government. The belief that you can criticize right-wing politics in your own country while supporting it abroad is disturbing. #BDS #Germany
