Top German cultural institute revokes invitation to controversial Palestinian writer – Muhammad Al-Kurd was to speak on panel at forum examining global far-right movements; session hosts pull out, accuse Goethe Institute of ‘racist’ stifling of Palestinian dissent | Timesofisrael

The German state-run Goethe Institute uninvited a Palestinian poet and writer from speaking at a conference later this month due to his past comments on Israel, whereupon other participants pulled out in protest.
Muhammad Al-Kurd was to speak on a panel as part of the institute’s “Beyond the Lone Offender – Dynamics of the Global Right” summit, scheduled for June 23-26, in Hamburg. The gathering aims to examine “the impact of far-right movements and their global entanglements.”
