    Israeli-German Relations in the Years 2000-2006: A Special Relationship Revisited Helene Bartos St. Antony’s College Trinity Term 2007 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Modern Middle Eastern Studies Faculty of Oriental Studies University of Oxford To my mother and Joe Acknowledgements I would like to use the opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Emanuele Ottolenghi, who generously agreed to oversee my thesis from afar having taken up his post as the Executive Director of the Transatlantic Institute in Brussels in September 2006. Without his full-hearted support and his enduring commitment my research would not have materialised. I am further deeply indebted to Dr. Michael Willis who dedicated his precious time to discuss with me issues pertaining to my research. Special thanks also goes to Dr. Philip Robins, Senior Tutor at St. Antony’s College, for having supported my field work in Germany in the summer vacation of 2006 with a grant from the Carr and Stahl Funds, and to the Hebrew and Jewish Studies Committee and Near and Middle Eastern Studies Committee for having awarded me two research grants to finance my field work in Israel in the winter of 2006. Without listing everyone personally, I would like to thank all my interview partners as well as colleagues and friends who shared with me their thoughts on the nature of the Israeli-German relationship. Having said all this, it is only due to my mother and my boyfriend Joe who have supported me throughout six not always easy years that I have been able to study at Oxford.

  • Dear Colleagues and Friends
    Jerusalem, February, 2008 Dear Guests, Welcome to the Global Forum for Combating Antisemitism. We are proud to host you here in Jerusalem, the capital of the State of Israel, as we mark our 60th anniversary of independence. This conference takes place at a time of great significance. Concerned observers everywhere see that Antisemitism and its attendant maladies have become a global phenomenon, ready to spread their toxic fumes at any given moment. While Antisemitism has taken many different forms in the course of its long history, it found ultimate expression with the extermination of European Jewry in the Holocaust. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism have joined forces in order to fight Antisemitism in its newest manifestations, in the guise of Anti-Zionist and anti-Israel standpoints. The Jewish people and the State of Israel, which was established as its national home, stand at the forefront of this battle. Yet responsibility lies with the political and religious leadership of every country in which Antisemitism appears. Antisemitism, racism and xenophobia are issues with which the countries of the free world must deal and which they must place high on the international agenda. We recognize and welcome the many leaders who have come to our side in order to change the situation and who have shown great sensitivity to concerns within the Jewish world. The participation of such a diverse group at this Global Forum is testimony to the commitment of many governments and organizations and their resolve to eradicate Antisemitism through the appropriate tools and action plans.
