We suspect that the reason for the massive self-censorship was partly due to the lack of spaces to debate and organize with concerned people about international, decolonial issues, including the Palestinian genocide. During the self-organized session, we established that many of us felt isolated, worried and frustrated, even paranoid or afraid. This suggests the need for another type of space at CCC, and/or for a self-critique from the assemblies that are dedicated to radical politics and/or freedom of expression and/or human rights.
We acknowledge the role that Germany's history and its current position (to finance and arm Israel while repressing solidarity towards Palestine) plays in this mass silence and self-censorship. However, being silent turns into complicity with the current genocide being commited in Gaza by Israel.
