Intellectuals around the world call for a boycott of Germany for suppressing pro-Palestine voices

Hundreds of intellectuals and artists around the world, including the French writer and Nobel Prize winner for Literature, Annie Ernault, signed a petition which called for a boycott of German cultural institutions, due to their suppression of voices supporting Palestine.

Agence France-Presse quoted the German Suhrkamp publishing house, which publishes Erno’s books, as saying that the French writer signed this petition, which collected more than a thousand signatures.

Lana Bastasic, the award-winning Bosnian novelist, announced on Tuesday on Instagram that she was terminating her contract with her German publisher in solidarity with the campaign.

The campaign introduces itself on its website as “a boycott of anti-Palestinian racism and censorship in its most advanced forms”.

“At a time when massacres are being committed in Gaza, it is the responsibility of artists and intellectuals to fight for international solidarity and the right to reveal the ongoing massacre” the campaign said.
