Interview with Wieland Hoban, chairperson of the German Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East, known as Jüdische Stimme. We discuss the recent classification of Jüdische Stimme as a ‘foreign-related extremist organisation’ by the German Verfassungsschutz (Office for the Protection of the Protection of the Constitution), and the repression of Jewish and other voices in Germany who are protesting against German complicity in the current genocide in Gaza.
