Journalist Hebh Jamal on surviving the German Staatsräson and "imported antisemitism" Germany holds the largest Palestinian population anywhere in Europe, yet Palestinians are officially recorded by the state as "stateless" or "undetermined." In a country deeply defensive of its own historical memory culture, the Palestinian diaspora is cast as a nuisance, and blamed for importing antisemitism. In the inaugural episode of the HEIST Podcast, Peter Matthews and Ben Schuman-Stoler sit down with journalist Hebh Jamal to discuss her reporting on what it feels like to live as a Palestinian in Berlin. She details the dystopian reality of building infrastructure in a city that would rather pretend you don't exist. Read Jamal’s feature for HEIST, “Parallel Lives: How It Feels to Be Palestinian in Berlin.” This episode is part of the three-episode drop that properly kicks off the HEIST podcast. Check out our podcast feed for the other two conversations: with Yossi Bartal about a faked assassination on the U-Bahn and Ben Miller about the AfD’s abuse of queer politics.
