The Jewish King of Warsaw: Szczepan Twardoch in conversation with Michal Zamir

An event forming part of the series "On Political Turmoil and Human Destiny" in cooperation with KAS Israel

"King" is the latest book by Polish author Szczepan Twardoch, a crime novel telling the story of Yakub Shapira, a Jewish gangster and professional boxer. The author takes his readers into the underworld of 1930s Warsaw and masterfully sketches the growing antisemitism in Polish society at the time. The conversation between Twardoch and journalist Michal Zamir will focus on the Jewish underworld in Poland, the author's extensive research for his book and his surprising choice of subject for this literary work. This event is part of the special "On Political Turmoil and Human Destiny" series and takes places during the Jerusalem Writers Festival.

On June 12, 2008, 26 students of the Hebrew University and two guests from the United Kingdom and Germany participated in a simulation of a NATO North Atlantic Council (NAC) session on energy security. The ambassadors to NATO gathered to consult and deliberate on a possible NATO reaction to terrorist attacks on the Baku-Tiblisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline.

Von Verhandlungspartnern lernen und Vorurteile ablegen

KAS/Heskem-Workshop am Toten Meer

„Die Entfremdung zwischen Israelis und Palästinensern befördert die Interessen all jener, die die jeweils andere Seite als Feind portratieren möchte“, schrieb der israelische Politologe Neve Gordon kürzlich in der israelischen Tageszeitung Haaretz. Der Wegfall praktisch aller alltäglichen Kontakte zwischen Israelis und Palästinensern – die sich fast nur noch an Checkpoints der israelischen Armee begegnen – habe dazu geführt, dass die gegenseitige Wahrnehmung in zunehmender Weise von Vorurteilen und Stereotypen geprägt sei. Dieser Befund ist umso bemerkenswerter, als seine Veröffentlichung genau auf den Zeitpunkt eines Workshops von Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung und Heskem fiel, der jener Entfremdung zwischen Israelis und Palästinensener entgegenwirken sollte. Dabei wurden je zwölf junge Israelis und Palästinenser zusammengebracht, um zunächst Fakten des Nahostkonflikts kennenzulernen und anschließend in gemischten Gruppen zu diskutieren. Am Ende wurden die Ergebnisse der Arbeitsgruppen im Plenum vorgestellt.

Nahost-Reise von Ministerpräsident Jürgen Rüttgers

Der nordrhein-westfälische Ministerpräsident Jürgen Rüttgers hat eine positive Bilanz seiner viertägigen Nahost-Reise, die u.a. von den KAS-Auslandsbüros in Israel und den Palästinensischen Autonomiegebieten organisert worden war, gezogen. Israelis und Palästinenser setzten große Hoffnungen in Deutschland, sagte er in Tel Aviv. Viele von Deutschland und Nordrhein-Westfalen geförderte Projekte gäben jungen Menschen neue Möglichkeiten für die Zukunft. Zugleich kündigte der Ministerpräsident weitere Hilfe beim Aufbau der Infrastruktur in den palästinensischen Gebieten an.

Assisting the Negotiators

KAS/IPCRI NST Meeting

From May 23-24, 2008, the KAS/IPCRI Negotiation Support Team met in Nazareth. The objective of the ongoing project is to help Israeli and Palestinian negotiators and decision makers reach agreement on a detailed settlement to the conflict by providing them with model agreements, compendiums that make existing research more accessible, policy papers and special reports that the negotiators and decision makers themselves commission. Above we are documenting a summary of the dicussions.
