Dickens’ words also describe the people of Israel and its leadership during and after the disastrous series of fires that began No- vember 22 and burned for almost a week. The most serious damage occurred in Haifa, where the fires forced 75,000 resi- dents to be evacuated from their homes and damaged 175 buildings; 100 buildings were destroyed and 500 people left homeless. It was the biggest such fire since the Mount Carmel forest fire in 2010 that killed 44. In that fire, a Prison Service bus was trapped and burned, killing many cadets, as well as three senior police officers. The fire itself was caused by negligence – a teenage resi- dent of Isfiya, a Druse town, told police he inadvertently started the fire with a hookah ember. After the Carmel fire, there was a “Fire caused by arson or incitement to ar- aircraft, equipment and firefighters.

  • Die Anderen Araber
    # 2019/04 Reportage https://shop.jungle.world/artikel/2019/04/die-anderen-araber In Israel wurden die Mizrahim, Juden aus Nordafrika und dem Nahen Osten, lange benachteiligt Die anderen Araber Reportage Von Miriam Dagan In Israel waren Mizrahim, Juden aus Nordafrika und dem Nahen Osten, lange Zeit gegenüber den aus Europa stammenden Juden ökonomisch und sozial benachteiligt. Mittlerweile sind sie nicht nur in der Politik stärker vertreten, sondern auch kulturell im Mainstream angekommen. »Als ich in die Knesset kam, war das Erste, was ich gesagt habe: Ich bin eine Frau, ich bin Mizrahi und ich bin stolz«, erzählt Nurit Koren. Sie ist Abgeordnete im israelischen Parlament. 1960 als Tochter jemenitischer Eltern in Jerusalem geboren, gehört sie zu einer neuen Generation der sogenannten Mizrahim – Hebräisch für »Orientalen« oder »die aus dem Osten kommenden« –, Jüdinnen und Juden aus Nordafrika, dem Libanon, dem Irak, Syrien, dem Jemen, der Türkei, und dem Iran. Sie machen heutzutage mehr als die Hälfte der jüdischen Bevölkerung Israels aus und zeigen ein neues Selbstbewusstsein. Zwischen 1948 und den frühen siebziger Jahren wanderten ungefähr 600 000 Jüdinnen und Juden aus islamischen Ländern nach Israel ein. Viele von ihnen wurden aus ihren Herkunftsländern vertrieben und mussten ihr gesamtes Hab und Gut zurücklassen. Auch Korens Familie wanderte 1948, im Jahr der Staatsgründung Israels, aus dem Jemen ein. Die Politikerin wuchs in einer Arbeiterfamilie mit fünf Kindern auf, ihr Vater war Lastwagen- und Taxifahrer. Sie ging auf eine orthodoxe Schule, machte keinen Abschluss, heiratete mit 17 Jahren und wurde Mutter von vier Kindern. Erst mit 38 Jahren schrieb sie sich an der Universität ein und holte einen Abschluss in Jura nach.
