Showing titles in Israel & Palestine

As the morning sunlight crept over the limestone walls of Jerusalem's old city, two young Americans flagged down a bus and got on. It was 6:45 a.m., February 25, 1996, and Sara Duker and Matthew Eisenfeld settled into their seats as the door closed on Jerusalem's Number 18 bus which would take them across the spine of this ancient city. After a few more stops, their bus turned on Jerusalem's Jaffa Road and rolled up a slight hill and stopped again. A young man, who seemed to be a student and was carrying a black duffle bag, got on. No one paid much attention to him, witnesses said later.

« Le jour où on écrira l’Histoire, on dira que c’est une femme qui a permis à l’État juif de voir le jour » - David Ben Gourion. Née à Kiev en 1898, Golda Meir fuit avec sa famille la terreur des pogroms et trouve refuge aux États-Unis. En 1921, elle émigre en Palestine avec son mari et s’installe dans un kibboutz.

Ministre du Travail, ministre des Affaires étrangères, secrétaire générale du Parti travailliste, elle est nommée Premier ministre en 1969, à l’âge de 71 ans.

Since ancient times the promised land has been a place of testing, revival, and fellowship with the God of Israel. God promised His land to the Jewish people as an everlasting possession as part of an eternal covenant He made with their forefather, Abraham. After two exiles and centuries of dispersion, millions of Jewish people have been drawn back to the land—and since the establishment of the modern State of Israel on May 14, 1948, millions of Christians have been welcomed as pilgrims to experience it for themselves.

Inspired by actual events, this powerful drama by David Serero takes audiences on a haunting journey through one of the most infamous trials in history. It examines the depths of human evil and the quest for justice. The play revolves around the trial of Adolf Eichmann, one of the principal architects of the Holocaust, who orchestrated the systematic murder of millions of Jews during World War II. Set in Jerusalem in 1961, the story follows the trial of Eichmann, a former Nazi officer captured by Israeli agents in Argentina and brought to Israel to face justice. As the courtroom drama ...

For over twenty years, Ittay Flescher has worked as an educator, journalist and peacebuilder in Melbourne and Jerusalem. When he woke up on the morning of October 7 to the sounds of rocket sirens over Jerusalem and later saw the devastation of Gaza in response, the grief and sadness that engulfed him—and so many other—led him on a deep path of soul-searching and moral reckoning. Following years spent facilitating dialogue between Jews, Muslims and Christians, Ittay believes that peace can only be found if we are willing to empathize with the pain of those who have hurt us most.

So begins the tale of a 5-year-old Jewish refugee arriving in the new State of Israel in 1949. As the author grows into a young pacifist, an aspiring musician, and a student of Arab culture, he often finds himself at odds with the macho and Zionist country he loves... and eventually leaves. Told alternately in poetry and prose, full of both laughter and heartbreak, Lost in the Dunes is a personal, refreshingly honest memoir of a boy - and a nation - coming of age.

Join Dalia Rabin, the former Israeli Deputy Minister of Defense and current chairperson of the Yitzhak Rabin Center, and Aaron David Miller for an enlightening discussion on the future of Israel. With host Ethan Bronner.

How to prevent terrorism from Gaza. Why ceasefires - ceasing in order to fire - cannot work. Why the insertion of international forces is bound to fail. Why tired, rinse and repeat diplomatic efforts will not succeed. Israelis will never forgive and forget. They will never agree to Palestinian statehood involving Gaza. A new island for the people of Gaza must be established hundreds of miles away from Israel (or further). The current 140 square miles of land must be depopulated and transformed into a buffer zone that ends Hamas' presence and capabilities. Israel must control this territory....

Der Angriff der islamistischen Hamas am 7. Oktober 2023 auf Israel hat einen neuen Krieg im Nahen Osten ausgelöst – mit verheerenden Folgen für die israelische wie auch palästinensische Zivilbevölkerung. Bislang ist die israelische Gegenoffensive weitgehend auf den Gazastreifen begrenzt, doch sie droht sich auszuweiten und die gesamte Region zu entflammen. Sollten sich die Hisbollah einerseits und der Libanon und der Iran andererseits weiter in die militärischen und politischen Gefechte einmischen, wären die Konsequenzen auch für Europa und die Bundesrepublik unabsehbar und eine langfristige friedliche Lösung in weiter Ferne.

Израиль — маленькая страна глубоко почитаемых религиозных святынь и эклектичной культуры, центр трех мировых религий и оазис, возведенный посреди пустыни. Государство имеет многовековую историю, которая изобилует неожиданными поворотами и драматичными событиями: переселение евреев в Палестину, Первая и Вторая мировая война, конфликт с Египтом и Сирией, военная операция "мир Галилея". "Тель-Авив гуляет, Иерусалим молится, Хайфа работает" — все, что нужно знать о том, как устроено многонациональное государство.

Nothing lifts our spirits and brings us peace, as does hearing the good news of great joy, which is for all people—and that is the miraculous birth of our Savior. In recent years, you have noticed a shocking failure on the part of pastors to bring forth this good news. The Incarnation. Angelic visitations. Kings and wise men seeking and worshipping the newborn Babe. God wrapped in human flesh! Everyone involved rejoicing exceedingly at the hearing of it! Of a truth, it is one of three Great Events of history. Yet today the church avoids it. Avoids celebrating and sharing His triumphant ...

David Grossman, da sempre convinto sostenitore di una coesistenza tra Israele e Palestina, non si è mai sottratto dal commentare e analizzare la complessa relazione tra i due popoli. Questo libro raccoglie alcuni degli interventi più urgenti e militanti, in cui Grossman analizza la parabola politica di Israele, guardando con occhio critico alle azioni del governo e della classe dirigente del suo Paese: un Paese che gli appare oggi più vulnerabile che mai, per colpa delle correnti estremiste e della decadenza di quei valori democratici che lo rendevano uno stato davvero ebraico.

Nasser Abu Srour grew up in a refugee camp in the West Bank, on the outskirts of Bethlehem. As a child, he played in its shadow and explored the little world within the camp. As he grew older, he began questioning the boundaries that limited his existence. Later, sentenced to life in prison, with no hope of parole, he found himself surrounded by a physical wall. This is the story of how, over thirty years in captivity, he crafted a new definition of freedom. Turning to writings by philosophers as varied as Derrida, Kirkegaard and Freud, he begins to let go of freedom...

Die Frage, wem das Heilige Land gehört, ist heute aktueller denn je. Die Debatten zu diesem Thema sind oft von Ignoranz und starken Emotionen geprägt, noch immer verstellen Parteilichkeit und Machtinteressen den Blick auf die politische Lage im Nahen Osten. In seinem unentbehrlichen Standardwerk wagt es Michael Wolffsohn, an überkommenen Mythen und Vorurteilen zu rütteln. Umfassend und gut verständlich erklärt er die historischen Wurzeln des Konflikts zwischen Juden und Arabern, der bis in die Gegenwart nichts von seiner Brisanz verloren hat.

Am 7. Oktober 2023 erfolgt der Terrorangriff der Hamas. Zivilisten vom Greis bis zum Kleinkind werden getötet, Frauen vergewaltigt und Hunderte Geiseln in den Gazastreifen verschleppt. Wie traumatisch dieser Tag für Israel ist, bezeugt der Beitrag der Autorin Agnes Fazekas, die in Tel Aviv lebt und die schrecklichen Folgen hautnah miterleben muss. Seit Jahrtausenden verspricht Jerusalem Frieden und Erlösung, aber keine Stadt hat mehr Krieg und Zerstörung in ihrer Geschichte erlebt. 44-mal wird Jerusalem erobert: durch Babylonier, Makedonier, Römer, Perser, Araber, Kreuzritter, Osmanen und Briten und viele mehr.
