In my talks I address political, social, cultural and historical questions from Germany, Israel and the German-Israeli thematic field, both from a professional informed perspective as well as from a personal one. Interested? Please feel free to contact me!
German Perspectives
-
How does one perceive Israel or Jewish themes in Germany?
-
Are there uniquely Jewish positions within German society?
-
What perspective might these positions offer on themes such as migration, populism and tolerance?
-
Are these self-chosen positions, or are they ascribed by others, perhaps even out of anti-Semitic motivation?
Israeli Perspectives
-
What role does civil society play in the context of the political conflicts within Israel?
-
What is the meaning of the political and cultural struggle between “The State of Israel” and “The Land of Israel”?
-
What role do the settlement movement, Palestinian actors, the Israeli media and the international community play within this struggle?
Bi-National Perspectives
-
“The right of existence of the State of Israel is part of the German ´raison d'être´"(Angela Merkel): What meaning does this statement have in times characterised by the shift of the Second World War and the Holocaust from being “memory” into being “history” (N. Frei)?
-
How should one perceive within this context the rise of the populist AfD in Germany and the growing occupation with antisemitism?
