The article by Jens Renner focuses on the plight of Syrian refugees in Denmark, particularly the story of Rahima, a 20-year-old from Aleppo. Denmark, which once offered a relatively speedy family reunification process, has tightened its refugee policies. The Danish Immigration Office and the Danish Refugee Board now deem Damascus and surrounding areas stable, leading to the revocation of residence permits for some Syrians. Rahima, who is currently allowed to stay, expresses her fear and uncertainty about the future due to these policy changes. The article also discusses the Danish government's stance on the issue, with the Social Democratic Party spokesperson stating that the decision to return refugees is non-political and based on assessments of safety in Damascus. However, reports from EASO and other sources contradict the Danish government's position, indicating that returned Syrians face harassment and danger. The article highlights the broader implications of Denmark's policies on human rights and the lives of refugees within the country.

Micha Brumlik's book 'Postcolonial Antisemitism?' is a significant contribution to current controversies surrounding German debates on antisemitism. The book addresses the question of whether it is permissible to label Israel and Zionism as 'colonialist' and the occupation in the West Bank as 'apartheid.' It delves into the BDS movement, the Jewish Museum Berlin, and postcolonial theorist Achille Mbembe. Brumlik criticizes the Bundestag's May 2019 declaration of BDS as antisemitic and the subsequent resignation of Peter Schäfer, President of the Jewish Museum Berlin, after attacks involving Israel's then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The book also explores the historical roots of racism and the relationship between colonialism, slavery, and racism. Brumlik rejects equating Israel with apartheid South Africa but acknowledges similarities in the treatment of Palestinians in occupied territories. He suggests a federative one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and discusses the importance of multidirectional memory, emphasizing the uniqueness of the Holocaust while also recognizing the singular crimes of colonialism.

Syrian refugees in Denmark, including Rahima, express fear and anxiety over the Danish government's decision to revoke temporary protection for refugees from Damascus, citing safety concerns. The Danish Immigration Office and Refugee Board's assessment that Damascus is safe for returns is heavily criticized, with reports indicating ongoing risks for returning Syrians. The Danish government's stance is defended by officials as a legal and non-political decision, but refugees and human rights advocates argue it violates human rights and Danish values.

Denmark has become the first European country to revoke residence permits for some Syrian refugees, arguing that Damascus and surrounding areas are now safe. This policy, driven by the left-wing Social Democrats, has sparked fear among approximately 500 Syrian refugees who face the dilemma of leaving Denmark or living in 'exit camps.' The article highlights the personal story of Rahima, a Kurdish Syrian refugee, and includes official statements from Danish authorities defending the policy. Critics argue that the decision ignores the ongoing risks in Syria, including harassment and forced conscription for returning refugees.

In the article, journalist Jens Renner explores the concept of living a good life while simultaneously not harming the planet. He engages in various experiments, along with his audience, to determine how much one can reduce their carbon footprint in everyday life without compromising on well-being and happiness. The focus is on finding a balance between being environmentally conscious and enjoying life, addressing the concerns of those who are worried about climate change but also value their quality of life.

The article discusses the adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism by the Deutscher Fußballbund and critiques its vagueness and focus on Israel. It introduces the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism (JDA) as a clearer alternative, aiming to strengthen the fight against antisemitism while allowing open debate on Israel/Palestine. The JDA's stance on what constitutes antisemitism, particularly regarding criticism of Israel, has sparked significant debate and backlash, especially from conservative and pro-Israel factions. The article also reviews recent literature on antisemitism and highlights the role of Felix Klein, the German government's commissioner for combating antisemitism.
