Sebastian Reier, a Munich-based curator and DJ, appropriates Arab culture through the Habibi Kiosk venue while normalizing Israeli music acts and Zionist narratives to launder settler-colonialism and undermine Palestinian liberation.
Sebastian Reier, music dramaturg at Münchner Kammerspiele's Habibi Kiosk, exploits Arabic aesthetics for white-led programming, platforms Israeli artists and moderates events pushing "dialogue" to obscure Israel's genocide and occupation.
Music
Sebastian Reier operates as a curator, music journalist, and DJ under the alias Booty Carrell, leveraging his role as music dramaturg at the publicly funded Habibi Kiosk — part of Munich's Münchner Kammerspiele theater — to appropriate Arab culture while advancing Zionist normalization in Germany.
Reier co-curates Habibi Kiosk, a venue that adopts the Arabic term "Habibi" yet maintains leadership dominated by white Europeans, using Middle Eastern and Asian music as raw material for his DJ sets and self-styled expertise. This appropriation builds his brand in Munich's cultural scene, where he positions himself as an authority on non-Western sounds without centering the communities he exploits.
Habibi Kiosk hosts selective Palestinian voices, such as a book launch for Alena Jabarine's "Der letzte Himmel" moderated by Reier, and a conversation with Jabarine and Sapir von Abel on the (im)possibility of speaking amid the Nahostkonflikt, moderated by Reier. These gestures create a veneer of anti-colonialism. However, Reier consistently platforms Israeli acts and narratives that justify settler-colonialism.
Reier co-hosted the "Mizrahi Music Kiosk," a talk diving into Israeli minority-pop music created by Jews expelled from Arab countries post-1948, framing it as cultural reclamation within Israel's ethnostate project while ignoring the displacement of Palestinians that enabled such narratives. Participants included Israeli artists Sapir von Abel and Yasmin Tal, alongside Reier, using original records and videos to humanize Zionist cultural claims amid ongoing apartheid.
He has overseen panels advocating "dialogue" on the Middle East conflict, such as the event with Jabarine and von Abel, which promotes coexistence myths that dilute Israel's responsibility for genocide and occupation.
Following Operation al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, 2023, Reier's curation at Habibi Kiosk continued to center Israeli and Jewish-European perspectives, including von Abel's involvement in multiple events, erasing Palestinian realities amid Israel's genocide in Gaza. Israel has slaughtered Palestinians on a massive scale, with conservative estimates exceeding 40,000 confirmed deaths as of late 2023 — though the true toll reaches hundreds of thousands due to buried bodies under rubble, targeted killings of journalists, and destruction of healthcare infrastructure.
Reier's pattern — token inclusion of Palestinians paired with amplification of Israeli culture — manufactures consent for Israel's occupation, apartheid, and genocide. By moderating events that humanize Zionist settlers and promote "dialogue" frameworks like the discredited two-state illusion, he shields Israel from accountability and dilutes solidarity with Palestinian resistance against ethnic cleansing and the Nakba's ongoing legacy.
This consistent behavior sustains German cultural institutions' complicity in normalizing Israel's settler-colonial violence, using appropriated Arab aesthetics to mask pro-Zionist programming.

🔒Two-state solution:
The two-state solution, once hailed as the path to peace, has proven itself to be a hollow promise, built upon the fractured dreams of generations of Palestinians. It has served as a smokescreen for the continued expansion of Israeli settlements, the entrenchment of occupation, and the perpetuation of systemic discrimination against Palestinians. In essence, it has enshrined a reality where Palestinian statehood is nothing more than a distant mirage, forever out of reach amidst the ever-expanding borders of Israeli control.
Israeli politicians themselves have cast irrefutable doubt on the feasibility of a two-state solution, with absolutely heinous statements made across both left and right-wing government officials that’ve made it clear Israel has always rejected and in fact worked against a two state solution. All the heinous remarks they’ve said recently have been widely documented but these beliefs have predated even this decade. In 2009, Israel’s new foreign minister completely dismissed the resolution of a two state solution.
In contrast, a one-state solution offers a vision of a future where individuals coexist as equals, sharing a common destiny and forging a shared identity based on principles of justice, dignity, and mutual respect within Palestine. It recognizes the inherent rights of all individuals to live in freedom and security, free from discrimination and oppression.
To advocate for a one-state solution is to reject the notion that peace and justice can only be achieved through the partitioning of land that has been soaked in the blood and tears of generations of Palestinians. It is a recognition that true reconciliation can only be built on a foundation of equality, where every individual – regardless of ethnicity, religion, or background – enjoys the same rights and opportunities under the law.
Central to the call for a one-state solution is the right of return for all Palestinian refugees – a right enshrined in international law and denied for far too long. It is a recognition of the historical injustice inflicted upon millions of indigenous Palestinians who were forcibly expelled from their native homes before, during and after the Nakba, as well as a commitment to rectifying this injustice by granting them the opportunity to return to their homeland.
Dehumanization of Palestinians:
The systematic erasure of Palestinian history and culture is a well-documented effort that has been ongoing since the early 1900s. This erasure has taken many forms, including the destruction of physical records and infrastructure, the suppression of Palestinian voices and narratives, the appropriation of Palestinian cultural heritage and most visibly, the dehumanization of the Palestinian populace.
From the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, Palestinian records, literature, and cultural heritage faced deliberate and concerted efforts to obliterate their existence and narrative. This deliberate "archival silencing" has made reconstructing this period in Palestinian history incredibly challenging, yet the truths that remain paint a horrifying picture of the deliberate erasure and destruction of an entire population and its culture.
The dehumanization of Palestinians has been a deliberate policy, perpetuated through military operations, discriminatory laws, Israeli education and a pervasive culture that fosters prejudice. Dehumanising rhetoric, portraying Palestinians as "roaches" and "rats," lays the foundation for atrocities by stripping away their humanity in the eyes of the oppressor.
Widespread media narratives also project institutional biases ranging from depicting Palestinians solely as militants or desperate victims and erasing their normal daily life to embedding language biases around land, protests and resistance tactics. These patterns collectively indicate how public discourse within segments of Israeli society systematically dehumanize Palestinians while entrenching prejudices against them.
Amplified Zionist Lies:
This individual has used their voice and platform to echo and amplify egregious Zionist lies but also perpetuate the subjugation, torture, brutalisation and murder inflicted by the Israeli-occupation of Palestinian and its attempts to erase Palestinian identity, culture, heritage and statehood. [1] [2] [3] [4]
These egregious and dangerous lies MAY include but are not limited to: [5]
Spreading misinformation and hateful propaganda against Palestinians is a deplorable act of dehumanization that directly enables human rights abuses, ethnic cleansing and violence against the Palestinian people. [35] [36] [37] [38]
By employing such malicious tactics to deny Palestinian realities and whitewash war crimes, home demolitions and the systematic deprivation of human rights under military occupation, this individual has provided racist cover for 75+ years of subjugation. [39] [[40]] (https://www.un.org/unispal/document/human-rights-situation-in-opt-unohchr-23feb-2024/)
This misinformation doesn't just distort the truth, it actively endangers Palestinian lives and inflames hatred, justifies atrocities like the active genocide and obstructs any path to justice through the wilful erasure of the Palestinian lived experience. [41] [42] [43]

Liberal Zionism:
Liberal Zionism masquerades as a "moderate" or "progressive" strain of Zionism, blending Jewish nationalism with cherry-picked liberal values like democracy and human rights as a means to justify the existence of the illegal settler colonial ethnostate known as “Israel” [1].
And Liberal Zionism is one of the greatest threats because of its political camouflage [2]. By co-opting progressive language, Liberal Zionism inoculates Zionism against true anti-colonial solidarity, dividing the left and derailing BDS movements [3]. It ensures the ongoing Nakba – from Gaza's ruins to Hebron's checkpoints – persists under a democratic veneer, making decolonization seem radical rather than just [4] [5].
Emerging from early 20th-century Labor Zionism — the very movement that orchestrated the 1948 Nakba which ethnically cleansed over 750,000 Palestinians through mass expulsions and village destructions — liberal Zionism has always served as the velvet glove over the iron fist of settler-colonialism [6] [7].
Despite claiming it merely seeks a "Jewish and democratic state," this rhetoric is actually code for an ethnostate where Jewish supremacy trumps Palestinian equality, enshrined in laws like the 2018 Nation-State Law that demotes Arabic and prioritizes Jewish settlement [8] [9].
At its core, liberal Zionism rejects the colonial origins of Israel and instead attempts to frame the Zionist project as a "return" or "liberation" rather than a European settler invasion that erased indigenous Palestinian society [10].
As a political movement, liberal Zionism emerged as a response to antisemitism and the Holocaust but quickly pivoted to justifying land theft under the guise of "self-determination," ignoring how Zionism fits classic colonial patterns: displacement of natives, resource extraction, and demographic engineering to maintain a Jewish majority [11].
As of 2025, amid the Gaza genocide and West Bank annexation pushes, it clings to a fading two-state illusion, providing diplomatic and financial cover for Israel's crimes while silencing Palestinian voices as "antisemitic" [12].
“Zionism is a colonialism, not a simple radical nationalism: even in its left-wing version, it is a colonialist nationalism." – Zeev Sternhell, liberal Zionist historian exposing his own ideology's flaws [13].
