Der Kampf mit oder für Windmühlen?

Die Massada Annual Lecture at Worcester College von Fania Oz-Salzberger in Oxford 2026

Fania Oz-Salzberger argues against the false dichotomy between pro‑Israel and pro‑Palestine. She argues that ‘the idea that Israel and Palestine form a zero‑sum conflict—that one people’s gain must be the other’s destruction—is both intellectually flawed and politically dangerous. It traps us in a logic where only total victory or total defeat seem imaginable.’

This was originally given as a speech at the Massada Annual Lecture at Worcester College, University of Oxford in early summer 2026, organised by Dr Naomi Rokotnitz.
