  • „Unsere Ideologie Ist Unser Schaden“: Notizen Eines Israelischen Black Panther
    „Unsere Ideologie ist unser Schaden“: Notizen eines israelischen Black Panther Reuven Abergel, 972mag, 26.06.20 (Der Artikel wurde in der Übersetzung leicht gekürzt) Ein Bericht von Reuven Abergel, einer der Gründer der israelischen Black Panthers, über die komplexe Beziehung zwischen den Mizrahim, die die Bewegung in den 1970er Jahren anführten, und den aschkenasischen Linken, die sie unterstützten. Reuven Abergel wurde 1943 in Rabat in Marokko geboren und ist seit mehr als 50 Jahren als Sozial- und Menschenrechtsaktivist in Israel tätig. Er war einer der Gründer und Führer der Black Panthers-Bewegung in Israel und engagiert sich auch weiterhin für soziale Gerechtigkeit. Der folgende Text stammt aus The Independent Left in Israel, 1967-1993, einem Buch, das dem Andenken des linken israelischen Aktivisten Noam Kaminer gewidmet ist. Abergel untersucht die komplexe und oft schmerzhafte Beziehung zwischen den Black Panthers, einer Gruppe von Mizrahi-Aktivisten, die aus einigen der ärmsten Gegenden des Landes kommen, und den radikalen aschkenasischen Aktivisten, die trotz ihres Engagements ein fester Bestandteil des Establishments in Israel waren. Anmerkung des Verfassers: Ich möchte meinem lieben Freund und Genossen Itamar Haritan danken, mit dem ich seit Jahren zusammenarbeite und der mir beim Verfassen dieses Textes geholfen hat. Itamar hat ein Interview mit mir geführt und schrieb einen ersten Entwurf des Artikels auf der Grundlage dieses Interviews, den wir anschließend in gemeinsam, in vielen Gesprächen überarbeiteten.

  • Musrara, the Center of the World the House Called Bayarti
    As essential as water or the air we breathe, Musrara, the Center streets are the corridors of the soul of the World and the dark trajectories of memory. —Paul Virilio, Panic City1 Paola Caridi “The Cypresses are still there.” Michel looks at them, high up behind the wall that surrounds a four-story white building, and his eyes begin to wander, thirsty, trying to recognize the little that remains from his distant childhood.2 They are ancient eyes, Michel’s, folded under the weight of an eighty-year-old man. He is already tired from the walk uphill along a little street in the center of Jerusalem, just outside the ancient walls of the Old City. But his breathing is light, concealed by the slightest of smiles, gentle and innocent, because that anonymous little street in the old quarter of Musrara is Michel’s memory lane. That is what he calls it in his impeccable British English: the street of his memory. The memory of his childhood and of the fixed images of 1948 that marked a before and an after, the hiatus in his life. And the hiatus of Jerusalem. Michel looks around like a stranger. He looks like the passers-by who use the little street to get to the offices of the Jerusalem city hall, just over the hill where a large square opens up. Michel, however, has no urgent business at city hall. His arrival point is his memory lane. He is there, after decades, only to remember. Memories rush from the mouth of that bent old man with the tidily combed white hair.

The Black Panthers’ anti-imperialist politics, militant visual style, grassroots strategies, and community programs appealed within and beyond the United States. Between 1967 and 1972, people of color struggling under class and ethnic oppression in six countries outside the United States formed Black Panther Parties inspired by the US Panthers. In the United Kingdom, West Indians, West Africans, and South Asians formed a Black Panther Movement in 1968 and in Israel, a group of Mizrahi (Arab) Jews founded a Black Panther Party in in Jerusalem in 1971.

  • 50 Jahre Deutsch-Israelische Beziehungen Erfahrungen, Entwicklungen, Aussichten
    50 Jahre deutsch-israelische Beziehungen Erfahrungen, Entwicklungen, Aussichten Humanistische Gesinnung In der Auseinandersetzung mit der Vergangenheit ihrer Eltern und ihres Landes entstand mit Beginn der 60er Jahre des vorigen Jahrhunderts bei zahlreichen deutschen Jugendlichen der Wunsch, Israel kennenzulernen mit den dort lebenden Menschen und manchen auch für das eigene Land verheißungsvoll erscheinenden Projekten. Wie Inge Deutschkron berichtet hat, besuchten 1960 vierzig Gruppen junger Deutscher Israel, 1961 sechzig, 1963 bereits zweihundert. Zu diesen zweihundert gehörte auch die Abiturientengruppe der Göttinger Gesellschaft für christlich-jüdische Zusammenarbeit, die mir im Frühjahr 1963 Gelegenheit gab, Israel aus deutsch-jüdisch-humanistischer Perspektive kennenzulernen. Nach dem Bekanntwerden der Mitarbeit deutscher Raketentechniker in der ägyptischen Rüstungsindustrie hatte statt der empört ablehnenden Kibbuzim ein Kinderheim im bei Haifa gelegenen Kiriat Bialik sich bereit erklärt, uns aufzunehmen. Der Ort war 1934 von deutschen Juden, zumeist aus akademischen Berufen gerissen, gegründet worden. Trotz der Katastrophe der Judenvernichtung, der sie selbst, aber keineswegs alle Angehörigen entkommen waren, hielten sie an ihrer Muttersprache und ihrer Wertschätzung deutscher Literatur, Kunst und Musik fest. Als junge Deutsche mit humanistischer Bildung und Interesse an Völkerverständigung wurden wir willkommen geheißen und in ihre Lebenswelt hineingenommen. Zu dieser gehörte auch das Kinderheim, in dem ebenfalls seit 1934 Jugendliche des Berliner Kinderheimes Ahawah Rettung gefunden hatten und in dem nach der Staatsgründung Kinder aus schwierigen Familienverhältnissen betreut und gefördert wurden. Hanni Ullmann, die damalige Leiterin, stand in engem Kontakt mit Persönlichkeiten wie Ernst Simon, Martin Buber und Schalom Ben Chorin und setzte sich für eine möglichst kindgerechte Pädagogik ein und darüber hinaus für ein gleichberechtigtes Zusammenleben mit den arabischen Mitbürgern.

  • Perspectives for the Israeli Left Jonathan Brandow
    Perspectives for the Israeli Left Jonathan Brandow May 1, 1972—Six hundred people had gathered in Jerusalem's David- ka Square to demonstrate against domestic repression and the war pol- icies of the government. That had been an hour before. Now the troops were moving in. Armored halftracks rumbled up the narrow avenue, pushing the suddenly silent mob into the corner offshoots of the plaza. Then there was only concrete slab, the escape routes spotted with heavily armed and willing riot police. A rock wafted from the crowd, ricocheting off the halftrack and landing less than five feet from the deputy police commissioner's mount. "Enough of these bastards . No mercy!" The cav- alry descended, whipping yard-long billy clubs in the windmill motion of polo players. For five hours, chaos and blood ensued. THE TRIP TO RAFIACH IS NEVER TOO PLEASANT. The area is inhumanly hot, the ground rock hard. Four hundred people showed up. Not a week before, the government had announced the final expulsion of 10,000 residents from the area to make way for a new industrial complex and, according to the Minister of Finance, Pinchas Sapir, a possible new "Jew" ish city in Gaza." Incredibly, the indigenous Bedouin farmers had left without a murmur. In a lightning response, the leftists from all over the country united to promote a day of protest highlighted by a march on the disputed village. At the last minute, 3,000 social democrats from sur- rounding kibbutzim, which had initiated the idea, knuckled under to a United Workers' Party (MAPAM) advisory prohibiting engagement in the vigil.
