++(adding on the last ask, sorry i just forgot to put this there) it's also the very very VERY weird way they keep talking like the jewish culture was completely erased from the rest of the Europe and the german speaking countries, like we didn't know how there were people fighting and resisting and trying to create communities before and after holocaust. this does NO erase holocaust, and that's one of the most enraging parts for me too: talking like the resistance of jewish people outside israel would somehow negate holocaust and antisemitism. this is fucking bonkers?

during the whole article i was thinking "why would the Germans have ownership of the works of an writer who is from PRAGUE? writing in german does not immediately imply this, and the fact that he was born in Prague does not negate the antisemitism he faced"

Kafka writing about his experience with oppression inside a country where antisemitism was so recurrent does not make him an symbol of the israeli state, and that's mainly what they're trying to affirm. by doing this they're trying to erase the way his works relate so much with the oppression other groups suffer inside other places, including the ones being attacked by the israeli state.

Yes, Israel's whole rhetoric is very deliberately constructed narrative which often raises uncomfortable questions.

And I also agree I think it's weird how there's complete exclusion of the country that Kafka was from (but then again, was he from Czech Republic (because that didn't exist back then) or was he from Austria? That existed in some sort). In any case, Kafka identified with the minority in the Austro-Hungarian empire (Hermann also), that is with Czechs.

What Kafka's nationality was is a tricky subject overall but the reality is that Prague is in Czech Republic so it is Czechs' "responsibility" to preserve Kafka in that city. Israel and Germany are just both weird about Franz Kafka and are trying to have hegemony over his legacy when none of them actually have tangible credibility.

#what matters is that kafka was a jewish man living in prague speaking german #the jewishness the city and the language all matter at the same time and thats why kafka isn't one thing #and cannot be claimed by one state #i think israel has the least credibility based on the simple fact that israel didn't exist back then and kafka wasn't living in israel #even austria could say more than israel lol #also about speaking german #imagine how ridiculous it would be if UK claimed every person as English just because they spoke english… #asks

Number 22 of the Golden Lane in Prague is the number of the house where Franz Kafka lived and wrote for about a year, between 1916 and 1917.

Now, it is a small museum and a bookstore.

Ethan and Pia Douwes performing "Wenn Ich Tanzen Will" from Elisabeth.

Love how Ethan really leans into his Erik/Phantom acting for "Der Tod".

Shana Tova to you all! Wishing you and yours a sweet 5784.

Drawn as a gift for @currymuttonpizza who is wonderful and writes the best Austria ever, hands down.

To my friends who speak Hebrew: I apologize for my handwriting.

Parochet from Vienna, Austria (?), 1875.

The Hebrew reads: abbreviation for Torah Crown; dedication in memory of Yonah, son of Rabbi Mordechai Baron Kenigswarter, and his wife Pesil from their son Moshe Hayim, and the Hebrew year. A later inscription, handwritten on a piece of parchment and stiched to the lining, mentions that the curtain was restored and generously donated by the members of the Congregation of the Sick; the verse "He will shelter me in His pavilion on an evil day, grant me the protection of His tent (Psalms 27:5) indicates the Hebrew year [5]691 (1931)".

beautiful and hilarious that antisemitic westerners’ plans backfired and now american jews are highly invested in eurovision and thus more likely to vote (which you can do via the eurovision app!) and probably increasing the chances of eden winning

#this has happened w several businesses that are jewish and or israeli owned #as well as art made by jews and or israelis #i think my top three are israel ukraine and germany in that order #obsessed w ukraine’s song its so so so so good #also austria’s got a banger #also a lot of really good songs that didnt make it to the grand final #no comment on the monstrosity that is the dutch song #apparently they may have been kicked out anyway oop

Unbelievable scenes from the few hospitals that are still operational in Gaza. Horrific. When will this end?

Actually with the new more precise maps they released in the most recent update, I have been thinking more about the exact geography of Tassing and realizing that as someone who has done the drive from Munich to Innsbruck (via the Bundesautobahn 95 on the way to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, no less) I have probably driven through almost exactly the point on the map it's supposed to occupy, which is pretty neat. I love that a fictional town can still be so rooted in geographic and regional place, and it shows once more how much thought they put into the game.

#had previously been like 'well i've been to about the right part of bavaria to have some sense of place for this game' #but nah i have taken like. the exact major road you'd use to get to tassing in the modern day if it was real #(considering it looks like it's meant to be right between the starnbergersee and the kochelsee) #and it was also one of the prettiest drives of my life tbh #games that make you want to go back to europe so bad #not even just germany/austria... i NEED to go back to prague #(i already needed to go back to prague for jewish reasons. but i need to go back even more now) #pentiment tag
