Bei den zahlreichen gewünschten und notwenigen O-Tönen, bietet es sich nachgerade an, die ästhetische Form „ in sich selber“ ruhen zu lassen. Keine Girlanden, Ausschmückungen, kein Drumherum. Bei der intensiven Beschäftigung mit diesem ungewöhnlichen Menschen, habe ich mir herausgenommen, ein wenig in seinen Gedanken zu lesen. Und diesen Gedanken eine sehr knappe, poetische Form zu geben. Abies Kopfstimme mäandert sich also durch das gesamte Stück. Es ist dies die Freiheit, zu der er uns alle verführen wollte. Präludium SOUND/Sirenengesang ABIE NATHAN (O-Ton) Was Sie hier hören ist das Weinen eines kleinen Mädchens. Es sagt nur, dass es hungrig ist. In der Stadt Almata’a im Norden Äthiopiens. Guten Tag, liebe Zuhörer. Ich denke, es ist an der Zeit, dass ich Ihnen berichte, was alles in den zwei Wochen geschehen ist. ABIE KOPFSTIMME Es ist an der Zeit Zu hören Wie der Tod Plötzlich schmeckt ABIE NATHAN (O-Ton) Und besonders von meinem Besuch in Äthiopien. Es stimmt, in ganz Afrika hungern die Menschen. Sie hungern auch in Indien. Manche leiden wegen der Kriege, machen wegen des Wetters. Wegen der Natur. Doch wenn es nicht regnet, gibt es keine Landwirtschaft. Und ohne Landwirtschaft haben sie nichts zu essen. Und ich erinnerte mich an das Kind, das ich auf dem Arm gehalten hatte, ich konnte es kaum aushalten, ein Kind im Alter von einem Jahr rund zwei Monaten, das weniger als 1,5 Kilo wiegt. Ende SOUND/Sirenengesang ANSAGE From somewhere in the mediterranean – Abie Nathan. Odysseus. Ein Hörspiel von Mona Winter SOUND/Sirenengesang ABIE KOPFSTIMME Reden Offenbaren Sprechen Stimmen erheben Eine Odyssee riskieren Wo Sprechen nicht im Schweigen Verschwimmt ABIE NATHAN (O-Ton) Und es gab so viele von ihnen. Sie haben niemandem etwas getan. Sie wurden geboren, und es gibt nur Leid. Ich fühlte mich wie auf einem fremden Planeten. Das kann doch nicht sein. KOPFSTIMME ABIE (leise Ironie) Immer wieder locken Sirenen Vom entfernten Ufer Selten das rettende Blicken auf mein Schiff Denken: Seltsam, dieser Odysseus Abie Nathan! ABIE NATHAN (O-Ton) Ich erinnere mich an die Nacht dort, - KOPFSTIMME ABIE Umgeben von Wasser …Flut…Strömung ABIE NATHAN (O-Ton) und im ganzen Dorf hörte man ein Weinen, und ich ging nach draußen und fand dort ein kleines Mädchen, das weinte. Ich fragte, was es hat, und man sagte, es sei einfach hungrig … Ich kann sein Weinen nicht vergessen ABIE KOPFSTIMME Flut…Wasser …Strömung Wellen schlagen Stranden Von weitem die Brandung Aus Stein wird Sand. Alles zerrieben ABIE NATHAN (O-Ton) Ich rannte ins Zimmer, dahin, wo ich schlief, ein Baum, da gibt es keine Hotels. Da gibt es nichts. Ich nahm meine Brote, die ich mitgebracht hatte, und plötzlich gab es einen Moment der Ruhe, als sie ein bisschen Brot und Käse bekam. JINGLE Voice of Peace/Voix de la Paix 2 NOAM TAL (O-Ton) Schon als Kind wurde ich auf Abie Nathan aufmerksam, weil ich schon damals THE VOICE OF PEACE gehört habe. Das Friedensschiff sendete von einem Ort, der nicht weit von der Küste Tel-Avivs entfernt war. Und die Menschen der ganzen Region hörten THE VOICE OF PEACE. Es gab sehr gute Musik aus Europa und fast alle DJs aus England. Auf eine bestimmte Weise war das wie ein Auslandsbesuch. I became aware of Abie Nathan as a child, I used to listen to the VOICE OF PEACE. The peace ship was broadcasting from not far from the Tel-Aviv coast and people from all the area used to listen to the VOICE OF PEACE: Very good music from Europe, most of the DJs from England. It was, like in a way, going abroad… SHULA VOLKOV (O-Ton) Es war vielleicht wichtig, um das Bewusstsein der Menschen zu wecken. Und das hat natürlich viel Interesse mit sich gebracht… NOAM TAL (O-Ton) …Hin und wieder – zwischen all der Musik- sprach Abie Nathan über die Dinge der Welt, über die Orte, die er besucht hatte, wie Afrika und andere Krisenregionen. But between the music, from time to time, Abie Nathan used to speak on the radio about things all over the world, places he visited like Africa and other places in the world with crises. SHULA VOLKOV (O-Ton) Es war interessant, weil er hat immer etwas Unerwartetes getan und da gab es viel Echo. Also ich glaube seine Radioaktivität - dieses Radio…Boot…Schiff – das hat Einfluss. Weil das war auch kontinuierlich. Es war nicht das einmal jemand plötzlich in der Öffentlichkeit erscheint, sondern das war Tag für Tag eine journalistische Arbeit – mit einem Ziel durch eine ungewöhnliche Reise. MOSSI RAZ (O-Ton) The radio was just one of the activities that he leaded. SHULA VOLKOV (O-Ton) Das, finde ich, war vielleicht sogar effektiv in seinem Weg. MOSSI RAZ (O-Ton) Und es waren alles persönliche Aktivitäten. Er hatte ja keine Bewegung hinter sich, keine Jünger oder so. Natürlich, die Menschen haben ihn bewundert, aber niemand ist mit ihm ins Flugzeug gestiegen. Niemand begleitete ihn nach Afrika, um den Menschen zu helfen, die nichts zu essen hatten. Er hat das alles alleine gemacht. It were all personal activities. He didn’d have a movement. He didn’t have followers. People admired him but nobody flew in the plane with him and nobody went with him to Africa to help people who don’t have anything to eat. He’s done everything alone. Musik TORSTEN REIBOLD 1 (O-Ton) Er hat es gemacht. Und er hatte einen Riesenerfolg damit. Und er hat vor allen Dingen schon auch immer betont, dass das eine Radiostation sein soll, die für den gesamten Nahen Osten gedacht ist. Und nicht nur für die Israelis. Deswegen hat er ja auch auf Englisch gesendet. SHULA VOLKOV (O-Ton) Und in Sachen “Frieden“ hat er seine Meinung in seiner Radiosendung immer gesagt. Und das wurde gehört. TORSTEN REIBOLD (O-Ton) Und hat eine internationale Crew auf diesem Boot gehabt…Das sollte schon die Idee der Völkerverständigung – durch Musik vor allen Dingen – transportieren. SHULA VOLKOV (O-Ton) Also das können wenige sagen. Dass ihre Stimme wurde eigentlich gehört. Auch Journalisten, die täglich in der Zeitung schreiben vielleicht wurden weniger gehört…Ja, in dieser Weise war er wichtig. Ende Musik MOSSI RAZ (O-Ton) Ja, Abie war eine Inspiration. Er war zu 100% Friedensaktivist. Es ging gar nicht wirklich um das Radio. Er nahm sich ein Flugzeug und ist nach Ägypten geflogen. Zu einer Zeit, als das verboten war und den Menschen erzählt wurde, die Ägypter würden sie umbringen. Er ging nach Afrika, nach Asien, zu vielen verschiedenen Orten und kaufte Nahrung und Medizin für bedürftige Menschen. Yes, Abie was an inspiration and peace activist. 100 per cent. It’s not only about the radio. He took a plane and flew to Egypt, when it was forbidden and people told that the Egyptians were going to kill him. He went to Africa, to Asia and to many places and bought food and medicine for the people who needed it 3 JINGLE ICI LA VOIX DE LA PAIX MOSSI RAZ (O-Ton) Er war eine Art Ein-Mann-Armee. Eine Ein-Mann –Friedensarmee. So he was a kind of army of one man. A peace-army of one man. NOAM TAL (O-Ton) Viele Leute hörten THE VOICE OF PEACE, selbst, wenn sie nicht an eine friedliche Kommunikation zwischen Juden und Arabern glaubten. Sie schätzten Abie Nathan dennoch aufgrund seiner Aktivitäten und all seiner Spenden für bedürftige Menschen auf der ganzen Welt. Most of the people used to listen to THE VOICE OF PEACE. Even if they didn’t believe in his ideas about bringing peace to the Middle East by communication with people. At least they were very fond of him because of his activities and because he used to donate money for charity to help people in need, to go all over the world. Musik SHULA VOLKOV (O-Ton) Es gab auch etwas fremd in dieser Persönlichkeit. Er hatte immer einen starken Akzent …gut, das hatten auch andere…Aber bei ihm war es auch so…er bewahrte diese Position als ein bisschen Außenseiter. Das hat Vorteile und Nachteile. NOAM TAL (O-Ton) He was well-known in the world SHULA VOLKOV (O-Ton) Dass man nicht richtig dazu gehört… von außen kommt. NOAM TAL (O-Ton) Er konnte zu verschiedenen Gemeinden gehen und sie um Spenden bitten. Auf eine Art war er ja auch ein komischer Mensch, denn er war immer Teil dieses Kreises von wohlhabenden Menschen, wie Fabrikbesitzern. Und doch fühlte er, dass sein Platz in einem Camp in Afrika war, wo er Essen für Menschen servierte, die nichts besaßen. He could go to different communities and to ask them to donate money.

  • The National Left (First Draft) by Shmuel Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv
    The National Left (First Draft) by Shmu'el Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv Open Source Center OSC Summary: A self-published book by Israeli playwright Shmu'el Hasfari and political activist Eldad Yaniv entitled "The National Left (First Draft)" bemoans the death of Israel's political left. http://www.fas.org/irp/dni/osc/israel-left.pdf Statement by the Authors The contents of this publication are the responsibility of the authors, who also personally bore the modest printing costs. Any part of the material in this book may be photocopied and recorded. It is recommended that it should be kept in a data-storage system, transmitted, or recorded in any form or by any electronic, optical, mechanical means, or otherwise. Any form of commercial use of the material in this book is permitted without the explicit written permission of the authors. 1. The Left The Left died the day the Six-Day War ended. With the dawn of the Israeli empire, the Left's sun sank and the Small [pun on Smol, the Hebrew word for Left] was born. The Small is a mark of Cain, a disparaging term for a collaborator, a lover of Arabs, a hater of Israel, a Jew who turns against his own people, not a patriot. The Small-ists eat pork on Yom Kippur, gobble shrimps during the week, drink espresso whenever possible, and are homos, kapos, artsy-fartsy snobs, and what not. Until 1967, the Left actually managed some impressive deeds -- it took control of the land, ploughed, sowed, harvested, founded the state, built the army, built its industry from scratch, fought Arabs, settled the land, built the nuclear reactor, brought millions of Jews here and absorbed them, and set up kibbutzim, moshavim, and agriculture.

  • “And the Children of Israel Sang This Song”
    “And the Children of Israel Sang this Song”1: The Role of Israeli Law and Policy in the Advancement of Israeli Song Amit M. Schejter and C. Michael Elavsky Penn State University “In a Greek rhythm with a Polish accent / In a Yemenite flourish with a Rumanian fiddle / Who am I? Yes, me, my God! / An Israeli song” -- Ehud Manor, “Israeli Song” “There are roads aplenty, and everyone has a car / And in the car the radio sings / Sings in all languages, beats in all rhythms / Whatever there is, more or less / But the Hebrew song, it is still here / It still exists, it is not giving up.” -- Kobi Lurie, “Come, Hebrew Song” Introduction Popular music is widely recognized as a cultural form that serves as the major signifier of Israeli identity and the notion of “Israeliness” (Regev and Seroussi 2004), and its depiction by Ehud Manor – the most prolific of Israeli songwriters – of this cultural form resembles the central elements of the dominant Zionist narrative: it is in Hebrew, it represents the “ingathering of the [Jewish] exiles” and it disregards the existence of non- Jews in the civic and cultural sphere. At the same time, as Kobi Lurie notes, its main purveyor is the radio, where it must compete with a large selection of foreign sounds. This study looks at the legal and policy ramifications of government policymakers’ recognition of the significance of the song as a signifier of Israeli identity and of its competition for the hearts of Israelis over the airwaves.2 This ensuing effort is described through an analysis of the founding documents – draft laws, Knesset floor and committee debates, and the final legislative form – that led to the creation of a minimum quota for the broadcasting of Israeli songs on Israeli public and commercial radio stations 1 Exodus 15:1.
