From Ramallah to New York, Tel Aviv to Porto Alegre, people around
the world celebrate a formidable, transnational Palestinian LGBTQ
social movement. Solidarity with Palestinians has become a salient
domain of global queer politics. Yet LGBTQ Palestinians, even as
they fight patriarchy and imperialism, are themselves subjected to
an "empire of critique" from Israeli and Palestinian institutions,
Western academics, journalists and filmmakers, and even fellow
activists. Such global criticism has limited growth and led to an
emphasis within the movement on anti-imperialism over the struggle
against homophobia. With this book, Sa'ed Atshan asks how
transnational progressive social movements can balance struggles
for liberation along more than one axis. He explores critical
junctures in the history of Palestinian LGBTQ activism, revealing
the queer Palestinian spirit of agency, defiance, and creativity,
in the face of daunting pressures and forces working to constrict
it. Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique explores the
necessity of connecting the struggles for Palestinian freedom with
the struggle against homophobia.
Berlin is home to Europe's largest Palestinian diaspora community
and one of the world's largest Israeli diaspora communities.
Germany's guilt about the Nazi Holocaust has led to a public
disavowal of anti-Semitism and strong support for the Israeli
state. Meanwhile, Palestinians in Berlin report experiencing
increasing levels of racism and Islamophobia. In The Moral Triangle
Sa'ed Atshan and Katharina Galor draw on ethnographic fieldwork and
interviews with Israelis, Palestinians, and Germans in Berlin to
explore these asymmetric relationships in the context of official
German policies, public discourse, and the private sphere. They
show how these relationships stem from narratives surrounding moral
responsibility, the Holocaust, the Israel/Palestine conflict, and
Germany's recent welcoming of Middle Eastern refugees. They also
point to spaces for activism and solidarity among Germans,
Israelis, and Palestinians in Berlin that can help foster
restorative justice and account for multiple forms of trauma.
Highlighting their interlocutors' experiences, memories, and hopes,
Atshan and Galor demonstrate the myriad ways in which migration,
trauma, and contemporary state politics are inextricably linked.

Reel Gender is a groundbreaking collection that addresses the
collective realities and the filmic representations of Palestinian
and Israeli societies. The eight essays, by leading scholars,
demonstrate how Palestinian and Israeli film production-despite
obvious overlaps and similarities and while keeping in mind the
inherent asymmetry of power dynamics-are at the forefront of
engaging gender and sexuality. The scholars of this volume
construct and deconstruct still and moving images, characters, and
stories that create an entanglement of Palestinian and Israeli
cinema. Together they portray the region's diverse but unexpectedly
intermingled ethnic, religious, and national communities, framed or
countered by various societal norms, laws, and expectations, while
also defined by colonial realities. The essays draw
methodologically from the fields of media and cultural studies,
critical and postcolonial theory, feminism, post-feminism, and
queer theory.
