  • Pro Israel Lobby Gibt's Die?
    Dr. Viktoria Waltz, Dortmund. 22.7.09 Offener Brief an den Bundespräsidenten Herrn Köhler, zur Kenntnis dem Ministerpräsidenten von Baden Württemberg Herrn Öttinger, dem Staatssekretär Herrn Wicker und dem Oberbürgermeister von Tübingen, Herrn Palmer Sehr geehrter Herr Bundespräsident, hiermit möchte ich Ihnen anlässlich der Aufregung bestimmter Kreise um die Verleihung des Bundesverdienstkreuzes für Frau Felicia Langer die folgende Zusammenstellung zur Kenntnis geben. Ich denke, sie macht deutlich, dass es sich um eine angezettelte Angelegenheit handelt, die viele bereits bekannte Akteure umfasst. Ich hoffe, dass Sie sich nicht in der Entscheidung für Frau Langer beirren lassen und verbleibe mit freundlichen Grüûen Dr. Viktoria Waltz Pro Israel Lobby - gibt's die? Eine Kriminalserie ± nicht der erste Fall: Felicia Langer Die engagierte israelische Rechtsanwältin Felicia Langer erhielt in Stuttgart das Bundesverdienstkreuz für ihr engagiertes Eintreten für Frieden, Gerechtigkeit und die Wahrung der Menschenrechte` Am 16.7.09 erhielt Felicia Langer das Bundesverdienstkreuz für ihre Verdienste, weil sie ¹in herausragender Weise für Frieden und Gerechtigkeit sowie für die Wahrung der Menschenrechteª (aus der Begründung) eintritt. Es ist nicht die erste Würdigung Ihres Tuns. Die engagierte Rechtsanwältin, die Hoffnung für viele palästinensische politische Gefangene in Israel gewesen war und nach vielen Enttäuschungen über das staatliche Unrecht an den Palästinensern schlieûlich trotz der bitteren Erfahrungen ihrer Familie - ihr Mann durchlitt und überlebte 5 Konzentrationslager - mit ihrem Mann nach Deutschland auswanderte. So erhielt sie zum Beispiel 1990 bereits einen alternativen Friedensnobelpreis, 1991 ehrte sie die Bruno Kreisky Stiftung mit ihrem Preis und anlässlich des 50-jährigen Bestehens Israel wurde sie von der Zeitschrift JOU als eine der 50 bedeutendsten Frauen für die israelische Gesellschaft gewählt.

  • Profiles of Peace
    Profiles of Peace Forty short biographies of Israeli and Palestinian peace builders who have struggled to end the occupation and build a just future for both Palestinians and Israelis. Haidar Abdel Shafi Palestinian with a long history of working to improve the health and social conditions of Palestinians and the creation of a Palestinian state. Among his many accomplishments, Dr. Abdel Shafi has been the director of the Red Crescent Society of Gaza, was Chairman of the first Palestinian Council in Gaza, and took part in the Madrid Peace Talks in 1991. Dr. Haidar Abdel Shafi is one of the most revered persons in Palestine, whose long life has been devoted to the health and social conditions of his people and to their aspirations for a national state. Born in Gaza in 1919, he has spent most of his life there, except for study in Lebanon and the United States. He has been the director of the Red Crescent Society in Gaza and has served as Commissioner General of the Palestinian Independent Commission for Citizens Rights. His passion for an independent state of Palestine is matched by his dedication to achieve unity among all segments of the Palestinian community. Although Gaza is overwhelmingly religiously observant, he has won and kept the respect and loyalty of the people even though he himself is secular. Though nonparti- san he has often been associated with the Palestinian left, especially with the Palestinian Peoples Party (formerly the Palestinian Communist Party). A mark of his popularity is his service as Chairman of the first Palestinian Council in Gaza (1962-64) and his place on the Executive Committee of “There is no problem of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) (1964-65).

  • „Die Schrillste Anti-Israel-Fanfare in Deutschland“
    © 2008 bei kritiknetz.de, Hrsg. Heinz Gess, ISSN 1866-4105 „Die schrillste Anti-Israel-Fanfare in Deutschland“ ULRICH W. SAHM – Jerusalem, 20. Juli 2009 – Der Kölner Schriftsteller Ralph Giodano protestiert „aufs Schärfste“ gegen die Verleihung des Bundesverdienstkreuzes an die in Tübingen lebende israelische Anwältin und „Menschenrechtsaktivisten“ Felicia Langer. Ein ebenso geehrter israelischer Reise- führer, Motke Schomrat, hat angekündigt, dass er mit Pressebegleitung demonstrativ sein Bundesverdienstkreuz bei der deutschen Botschaft in Tel Aviv zurückgeben wolle. Deidre Berger, Direktorin der Vertretung des American Jewish Committee in Berlin, wolle ebenfalls ihr Bundesverdienstkreuz abgeben, aus Protest gegen den Beschluss von Bundespräsident Horst Köhler, die „Israel-Kritikerin“ Langer zu ehren. Per Fax schrieb Giordano an einige Bekannte, dass die Ehrung Langers ihn in „einen schweren Konflikt“ stürze. „Niemand hat in den letzten 25 Jahren mit einer an Blindheit grenzenden Einseitigkeit Israel mehr geschadet, als diese angebliche Men- schenrechtsanwältin; niemand ist jener verbreiteten Gesinnung, sich vom eigenen Schulddruck durch Kritik an Israel zu entlasten, so weit entgegengekommen, wie sie; niemand hat die ,,Pathologie der Umarmung" - ,,Hie die bösen Israeli - da die guten Palästinenser" - so konsequent durchgehalten wie diese schrillste Anti-Israel-Fanfare in Deutschland“, schreibt Giordano. Folgt man der Schule Felicitas Langers, so Giordano weiter in seinem Brief, finde der Nahostkonflikt in einem quasi luftleeren Raum

A Comparative Analysis Between the Palestinians of Lebanon and Jordan: The History, Integration, and Role of Refugees in the Arab-Israel Conflict and Peace Process Kassidy Hall GBS 480 November 2020 Introduction In many Arab countries, Palestinian affairs are domestic affairs. This is especially true of Jordan, where the US State Department estimates that over half of the population is of Palestinian origin.1 Lebanon, Israel/Palestine’s neighbor to the north, presents a different case. There, Palestinians account for around 10% of the population and are overall poorer and met with more resentment from the government compared to other countries.2 In the wake of the Arab-Israeli conflict, Lebanon and Jordan are two countries out of many in the Middle East that absorbed these Palestinian refugees.

  • CAUTION: ZIONISM! Essays on the Ideology, Organisation and Practice of Zionism
    CAUTION: ZIONISM! Essays on the Ideology, Organisation and Practice of Zionism Yuri Ivanov Moscow Progress Publishers 1970 Contents Preface I Myth and Reality II "A Time to Cast Stones and a Time to Gather Stones Together" III Roofless Labyrinth IV Crossroads V Caution: Zionism! To fellow countrymen and foreign comrades whose kind advice has been of such help. Yuri Ivanov Preface Gone are the days when the enemies of the young Soviet republic fervently awaited the collapse of the world's first workers' and peasants' state. The Land of Soviets proved its viability in the face of armed intervention and its magnificent performance in the life- and-death struggle against the nazi hordes already belongs to history. Gone, indeed, are many of the illusions harboured by the enemies of communism, but not their hatred and their intention to continue the struggle with all the means that remain at their disposal. Lenin held that it was the fundamental duty of the Soviet press to make a concrete analysis of the forces acting against communism, however secondary they might appear at first glance. This book makes a study of modern Zionism, one of the most tenacious, though veiled varieties of anti-communism. Meir Vilner, Secretary of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Israel, wrote in a letter to Soviet journalists in January 1968: "Zionism is, alas, a 'forgotten' question but nonetheless a most actual one. ." How right he is! For a long time many champions of Zionism were sparing no efforts to make Zionism appear nothing more than an obsolete term.
