Israel is facing an existential crisis on all fronts. A devastating war in Gaza. Nonstop rocket attacks from Hezbollah in Lebanon. Drone attacks from the Houthis in Yemen. And the very real possibility of a full scale war with Iran that could break out at any moment. And yet, the man who has led Israel through one of its most tumultuous periods in its 76 year existence, Benjamin Netanyahu, maintains that he alone is the person most who can keep the country safe. Bibi's supporters argue that Israel's longest serving Prime Minister is the best leader for Israel at this moment. His political and wartime experience coupled with a diplomatic savviness gives him the tools necessary to navigate both the physical wars on Israel's borders and the increasingly tense relationship with allies and adversaries abroad. To his detractors, Bibi's failure in leadership created the conditions for the Hamas attack, and in his desperation to stay in office he has pandered to the extremists in his coalition, harming world opinion and undermining Israel's security and its relationship with its most important ally, the United States. For the sake of Israel's survival, safety, and security, they argue, Bibi must go. Arguing in favour of the resolution is Ruthie Blum. Ruthie is a columnist at Jewish News Syndicate and most recently she served as an adviser in the Israeli Prime Minister's Office. Arguing against the resolution is Avraham Burg. Avraham has served in a variety of high profile public positions in Israel, including as member of the Labor Party, Speaker of the Knesset, and Chairman of the Jewish Agency.   The host of this Munk Debates podcast episode is Ricki Gurwitz.

Even if you only count until 1985, Lebanon was Israel's longest war and so it's no surprise that it left some of the deepest impressions. The birth of Peace Now, the murder of Emil Gruzweig and the personal struggles of soon-to-be famous Israelis like Avraham Burg and Donniel Hartman all illustrate how far Israel's social fabric was stretched by the conflict. Across the ocean in America Jews like Norman Podhoretz and the rabbis of the CCAR are asking about their support for the Jewish State, and the world media is focused on Lebanon. When this war ends, the story will be far from over.

Página do episódio no site para ler a descrição completa: http://5ponto8.fireside.fm/10 Por ser uma tradição que enfatiza tanto a ação, às vezes o judaísmo se parece com uma anti-religião, uma tradição religiosa que dá pouco espaço à teologia e às discussões filosóficas. E, mesmo assim, são inúmeras as contribuições do judaísmo à filosofia e vice-versa, de Philo de Alexandria, ainda no primeiro século antes da Era Comum, passando por Maimônides e por Baruch Spinoza, pelos cabalistas e pelos mestres chassídicos, não nos faltaram grandes filósofos, que nos fizeram repensar o judaísmo, nossa relação com a tradição e nosso papel no mundo. Neste episódio vamos falar sobre as pontes entre filosofia e judaísmo com Francisco Moreno e com Ruben Sternschein.

A vibrant conversation with one of the most visionary thinkers in Israel. As former speaker of the Knesset, Avraham Burg witnessed firsthand many of the most dramatic and critical moments in Israeli history. He offers a deeply personal and unique reflection on his county’s history, Zionism, and Jewish identity in the modern world. His insights came at a particularly poignant moment in time: on the eve of Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israeli Independence Day) and closely following the elections in Israel. 

Back in the 1960s, Richard Nixon would talk and write a lot about the Middle East in general, and about the Israeli situation specifically, and he talked about how it easily could become the flash point of the next world war. Certainly almost 60 years and many crises later, this is still true. Today, as a second and third generation still hears about settlements and a one and two-state solution, and peace plans are reconstituted over and over again, one wonders, do we even remember how this all got started? Does the original sin grow out of the post-World War I agreements of 1916, or did something happen after Israel’s success in the Six-Day War, in 1967? Did Israel, to paraphrase our current President, get “tired of winning”? So one more time, we’re going to go back and look at the past, the present, and the future of the Israeli enterprise. This time, with Avraham Burg.  One time Speaker of the Israeli Knesset. He’s a past leader of the World Zionist Federation and the Jewish Agency for Israel. He served in the Israeli Labor Government of Shimon Peres, and back in 2004, he retired from active involvement in politics and is the author of In Days to Come: A New Hope for Israel. My WhoWhatWhy.org conversation with Avraham Burg:    

“Israel as a country should be appreciated and celebrated,” Avraham Burg says, but it should no longer be looked upon as the land of “oranges and equality.” You might think those comments come from an anti-Israel professor at an elite US university. Instead, Avraham Burg is part of Israel's history. His father was a member of the founding generation. Burg served as Speaker of the Israeli Knesset and in the Labor government of Shimon Peres before retiring from politics in 2004.   This personal history is why it's so surprising to hear him declare that the Israel of 1948 is not there anymore. Burg argues in his conversation with WhoWhatWhy's Jeff Schechtman, that the only guarantor of today motivations of sovereignty and security is a call for what he sees as a one-state solution. One central government and some kind of confederation of two regimes. He suggests that, in his view of the world, the Israeli-Palestinian issues are no longer at the center of global consciousness. Much of the world has moved on. Further, he thinks that the Zionist experiment may have passed its sell-by date, and that Israeli politics is “hollowed out.” Zionism was a necessary “scaffolding” for building Israel's sovereignty, Burg says, but is it's no longer relevant. The future may require a secular state that maintains a close, fruitful relationship with the Jewish and Israeli diaspora.

Historiens värsta trauma, så benämns ofta Förintelsen. Hur ska minnet av Förintelsen bevaras när dess offer dör ut? Och hur präglar Förintelsen staten Israels självbild? Förintelsen är över och vi måste resa oss ur askan. Så lyder den uppmanande titeln på den israeliske författaren och före detta politikern Avraham Burgs bok. Boken väckte stor debatt i Israel när den kom ut år 2007 och nu finns den också på svenska. Han beskskriver hur förhållandet till Förintelsen skapat en belägringsmentalitet i landet där man ser sig omringade av fiender och fortfarande hatat av alla. Sharon Jåma har träffat Avraham Burg i Tel Aviv. Dessutom möter vi historikern Saul Friedländer, som själv överlevde Förintelsen genom att han gömdes undan i Frankrike. Han har utbildat sig i Israel och är numera verksam vid UCLA i Kalifornien. Friedländers stora produktion innefattar bland annat verket Tredje riket och judarna vars andra del, Utrotningens år 1939-1945 nu kommit på svenska. I böckerna gör han en grundlig dokumentation av händelseutvecklingen före och under andra världskriget och kartlägger genom bland annat dagböcker, dokument och brev skrivna av både offer och förövare hur Förintelsen var möjlig. Anneli Dufva har träffat honom i Stockholm. Dessutom letar Gunnar Bolin i sitt filmminne och upptäcker hur TV-serien Holocaust från 1978 banade vägen för en hel Förintelsengenre på spelfilm. Och så talar Cecilia Blomberg med konstnären Esther Shalev-Gerz, själv uppvuxen i Israel, om ett av de verk hon gjort med utgångspunkt i Förintelsen. Hennes konst kretsar ofta kring minnet av det förflutna och hur det kan användas för att utforma nya sätt att förhålla sig till nuet och det kommande.
