taz Talk zum Krieg in Nahost: Standing Together - Den Krieg zusammen durchstehen

For the activists of "Standing Together", one thing is clear: the security of people in Israel cannot be achieved through war and violence. The grassroots movement of Jewish and Palestinian activists in Israel has been campaigning for peace and social justice since 2016. In the days since October 7, their work has become even more important. They are convinced that the goal must be peace. This goal can only be achieved together, not against each other.

These days, the goal seems more distant than ever. Left-wing voices have long had a hard time in Israel, and even more so in times of war. The division of the international left on the war between Israel and Hamas isolates differentiated voices even further.

"She is Palestinian, I am Jewish. But the only home we both have is the same home," said Standing Together activist Alon-Lee Green recently in the New York Times. In the taz Talk, we want to talk to him and Rula Daood about how dialog and Jewish-Palestinian activism can still succeed in Israel these days, and why it is needed now more than ever.

Guests:

🐾 Alon-Lee Green is co-director of Standing Together.

🐾 Rula Daood is co-director of Standing Together.

🐾 Dinah Riese moderates this talk. She is an editor in the domestic section of taz.

The podium language is English.

The visit to "Standing Together" was made possible by the Coalition for Pluralistic Public Discourse (CPPD).

Questions and comments from the audience in the livestream and in the taz canteen are welcome. Anti-Semitic and racist comments have no place at the event.
