„Palästinensische Gleichberechtigung und jüdische Sicherheit sind untrennbar verbunden„
Auf das Versagen muss Einsicht folgen – Charlotte Wiedemann in der taz, hier daraus der Schlußsatz des im Ganzen sehr lesens- und nachdenkenswerten Beitrags!
„Der weitere Weg nach vorn? Palästinensische Gleichberechtigung und jüdische Sicherheit sind untrennbar verbunden. Das heißt: Israelis werden nur sicher leben, wenn Palästinenser in Freiheit leben können. Wer auf der Straße „Free Palestine“ ruft, schützt jüdisches Leben in Israel also womöglich mehr, als es eine fehlgeleitete deutsche Nahostpolitik getan hat.“
Today is the day we have been working towards. Today is the day we have been shouting, crying, calling for in all means available to us. Today, we welcome the announcement of a ceasefire deal that allows us to let out a deep breath, but with mixed emotions. There is joy that this nightmare is seemingly coming to an end. There is cynicism that it has taken so long to reach this point. Nevertheless, today, we breathe a sigh of relief with the people of Gaza, with the hostage families, with everyone in the land who has been suffering the consequences of this war.
But we know that our work is far from over. We know the road to reconciliation is long and requires patience. The scars of this war, on bodies, on hearts, on the land itself, will not heal quickly. But we are more committed than ever.
Today, we breathe, and tomorrow we continue to act. We act against injustice, violence, and occupation. We act in support of a just and peaceful solution.
Today is a historical day and an important first step on the road towards achieving true safety, freedom, and equality for all.
The Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy (PIPD) is a non-governmental independent organization advocating for the liberation of Palestine from all forms of settler colonialism. Our team is dedicated to advancing Palestinian people’s diplomacy as well as strengthening a Palestinian-led movement equipped with the necessary tools and influence to confront the injustices experienced by the Palestinian people, along with the systems, structures and geopolitical arrangements that perpetuate them.
In our outreach and campaigning work, we center a profoundly collaborative approach, engaging with other Palestinian voices, organized groups in Palestine and the diaspora, as well as grassroots movements worldwide. We leverage digital campaigning and educational tools as key mechanisms to strengthen Palestinian presence and discourse worldwide.
We enhance our grassroots advocacy strategy by directly engaging with international policymakers, thought leaders and media outlets in places where Palestinians can build and amplify influence in reshaping political and geopolitical transformations. Serving as a reputable point of contact, we engage with diplomats, parliamentarians, journalists, academics, and other stakeholders worldwide.
The PIPD team and Board of Directors, based both in Palestine and abroad, strive to adopt and promote an institutional model based on values of inclusion, equity, interdependence and solidarity.

Viele offene Fragen, viel viel Hoffnung, auch mancher Zweifel und manche Skepsis: Eine Möglichkeit für eine andere Zukunft scheint sich aufzutun, sind aber auch beide Seiten schon soweit, nicht mehr an den eigenen Sieg zu glauben? Daniel Kurtz-Phelan im Gespräch mit Philip Gordon
Wer schreibt was warum und warum nicht: Information(spolitik) ist längst zu einem Mittel der Kriegsführung geworden (wahrscheinlich schon immer gewesen), hier zwei lesenswerte Beiträge zu diesem Themenbereich:
Eigentlich ist es ein Tag wie jeder andere, an dem Menschen leiden, leiden, weil ihre Verwandten, ihre Freund:innen noch in Geiselhaft sind, weil die Kinder hungern und die Besatzungsarmee (noch) immer in Gaza und anderenorts zugange ist … .
Und doch ist es ein besonderer Tag, weil wir Menschen in solchen Zyklen wie Jahrestagen denken und fühlen und auch weil es seit langem etwas, etwas Hoffnung gibt auf eine Ende der Gewalt.
Deshalb heute einmal vier Meldungen, die die Komplexität der Wirklichkeit spiegeln sollen, an einem Tag, nicht wie sonst jeden Tag („nur“) eine:
