Om hur den palestinske ledaren stred för det palestinska folkets självständighet. Först genom väpnad kamp och blodspillan, senare med både pistol och olivkvist. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Den 13 september 1993 står en man uppklädd på en välansad gräsmatta, med världens blickar riktade mot sig. Hans namn är Yassir Arafat och han har kämpat hela sitt liv för en självständig palestinsk stat. Vid sin sida har han två av sina ärkefiender, Israels premiärminister och USA:s president. Tillsammans ska de nu genomföra en historisk ceremoni i hopp om fred. En ceremoni som föranletts av decennier fyllda av krig, terrorattacker och blod.Hör historien om hur Yassir Arafat gick från student, till gerillakrigare och terrorist, och till slut en av de mest inflytelserika ledarna på den världspolitiska arenan. Det är en historia om ett folks kamp för självständighet och mot flyktingskap men även en historia om terrordåd, en stapplande fredsprocess och om arvet efter Arafat.I avsnittet medverkar Helena Lindholm och Michael Schulz, professorer i freds- och utvecklingsforskning, samt journalisten Stina Dabrowski.Programledare och producent: Vendela LundbergAvsnittsmakare: Tobias NorströmTekniker: Fredrik NilssonAvsnittet producerades av Dist hösten 2024Ljudklipp är hämtade från NRK, BBC, Al Jazeera, TV4, SVT, Sveriges Radio, British Pathé, Reuters, AP, SBS, White House Television, C-Span och Beth Sholom Synagogue Toronto.

A cura di Ferruccio Bovio Non saremo certo noi, generazioni sessantottarde, a biasimare  l'occupazione di un liceo o di una facoltà universitaria: con tutte le fesserie che abbiamo fatto in gioventù non ne avremmo proprio le carte in regola...Anzi, probabilmente, siamo oggi quasi istintivamente portati a non dare troppa rilevanza a quelle che, da almeno un mese a questa parte, vengono purtroppo ripetute negli atenei di mezzo mondo...E così, con colpevole leggerezza, non ci facciamo neanche caso se, alla ormai vetusta barba caraibica di Fidel Castro, i nostri novelli campioni dell'anti occidentalismo stanno sostituendo – contenti loro - la kefiah di Yassir Arafat e di tanti altri bei democratici capi e capetti mediorientali. Tuttavia, cari amici della Sinistra italiana ed europea, è forse giunto  il momento di cominciare a riflettere, con un minimo di attenzione in più, sulla svolta inquietante che il moto spontaneo di solidarietà filo palestinese ha assunto in questi ultimi tempi. Nelle aule dei nostri istituti universitari si è, infatti, partiti dalla discutibilissima pretesa di disdire ogni rapporto con la comunità accademica israeliana per poi approdare – in un crescendo rossiniano di istanze sempre meno lucide – addirittura alla trasformazione delle sale occupate in moschee, nelle quali - come è avvenuto di recente a Torino - si pronunciano, beatamente, dei sermoni che inneggiano alla Jihad non solo a Gaza, ma anche all'ombra della Mole Antonelliana... Francamente, nel leggere, il resoconto di quanto è avvenuto venerdì scorso, ci siamo chiesti se fossimo sulle pagine di cronaca del maggiore quotidiano piemontese oppure su quelle del famoso  romanzo di Michel Houellebecq...Un'istituzione laica ed universale –  dalla quale è lecito aspettarsi solo autonomia ed equidistanza – aveva aperto le sue porte ad una religione (non importa quale), nella sostanziale impotenza di un Rettore, che si è limitato a precisare di non avere più il controllo di quello che succede “li dentro”, da quando l'Ateneo è occupato. E' accettabile che sia soltanto un gruppo (tra l'altro più rumoroso, che maggioritario) di studenti a stabilire chi possa parlare e chi no all'interno di un'università italiana? Forse in Iran i pasdaran possono farlo, ma, nella Torino di Norberto Bobbio o di Franco Antonicelli, la cosa ci sembra   stonare davvero... ___________________________________________________ Ascolta altre produzioni di Giornale Radio sul sito: https://www.giornaleradio.fm oppure scarica la nostra App gratuita: iOS - App Store - https://apple.co/2uW01yA Android - Google Play - http://bit.ly/2vCjiW3 Resta connesso e segui i canali social di Giornale Radio: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giornaleradio.fm/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giornale_radio_fm/?hl=it

Mitt under brinnande krig har idén om en tvåstatslösning återuppstått. Går det att väcka liv i en tanke som dödförklarats så många gånger? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Hoppet om fred i Mellanöstern stod på topp 1993 när PLO:s Yassir Arafat skakade hand med Israels premiärminister Yitzhak Rabin. Idag har fredsprocessen och planen för en tvåstatslösning dödförklarats och återuppstått flera gånger om.På marken har våldet traumatiserat båda sidor. Kriget fortsätter på Gazaremsan och i Israel har skräcken efter Hamas terrordådet lämnat djupa sår. Ändå väljer USA:s president nu att lyfta tanken på en tvåstatslösning.Kan krisen bli det som får allt att vända eller är motiven bakom planen något helt annat?Medverkande: Aaron David Miller som jobbat som MÖ-rådgivare för flera amerikanska regeringar sedan 70-talet och framåt, Chuck Freilich, säkerhetsanalytiker och tidigare biträdande nationell säkerhetsrådgivare i Israel, Khaled Elgindy, föreståndare för Israel-Palestina programmet vid Middle Eastern Institute, familjen Abu Sultan i Uppsala, Heli Mishael en av ledarna inom fredsrörelsen Standing Together i Tel Aviv , Cecilia Uddén, Mellanösternkorrespondent Sveriges Radio.Reportar: Rouzbeh Djalaie, Samar Hadrous Sveriges Radios Mellanösternkorrespondent.Programledare: Fernando Ariasfernando.arias@sr.seProducent och reporter: Ulrika Bergqvistulrika.bergqvist@sr.se

LYSSNA PÅ HELA AVSNITTET HÄR: https://www.patreon.com/snettinatbakat Vi träffar vår generations största radioröst, som berättar hur det var att krama Yassir Arafat, den där känslan när man lagt en rejäl bombmatta med rubriker precis innan ett helt ovetande Eko och hur det var att skjutsa Christer Pettersson i en Mazda från loftgången i Rotebro till Efter tre-studion.

"På vegne af USA og Rusland, som begge støtter fredsprocessen i Mellemøsten, byder jeg velkommen til denne store historiske begivenhed, der indvarsler håb". Ordene kommer fra Bill Clinton, datoen er 13. september 1993. Med Det Hvide Hus i baggrunden er USA's præsident flankeret af Israels premierminister Yitzhak Rabin og PLOs formand, Yassir Arafat. De to havde længe været dødsfjender. Rabin opfattede Arafat som en brutal terrorist, mens Arafat i Rabin så en morderisk zionist. Nu stod de ansigt til ansigt og rakte tøvede hænderne frem som et tegn på forsoning. Deres håndtryk markerede den symbolske kulmination på den såkaldte Oslofredsproces, som dengang tog verden med overraskelse - og storm. Hvad var indholdet af denne opsigtsvækkende aftale? Hvem bærer ansvaret for at de løfterige visioner om stabilitet og sameksistens endte i et orgie af terror og drab? Og er der i dag en brugbar erfaring at hente i fredsprocessen for 30 år siden? Det er spørgsmålene i denne uges Kampen om historien, hvor Adam Holm taler med Anders Jerichow, der er journalist og udenrigspolitisk kommentator på Politiken. Musik: Adi Zukanovic.

Nya positioner i Israel-Palestina-frågan. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Terrorgruppen Hamas massakrer på israeler väcker avsky i omvärlden och fördömds av svenska politiker. Regeringen stoppar nu utvecklingsbiståndet till palestinska områden och det pågår en debatt bland Tidöpartierna om att dra tillbaka erkännandet av Palestina.Samtidigt ser vi ett slags politiskt uppror mot Vänsterpartiets partiledare Nooshi Dadgostar inifrån hennes eget parti. Dadgostars fördömande av Hamas våld väcker reaktioner hos dem som menar att man samtidigt måste lyfta fram Israels våld mot palestinier. Hur allvarlig är kritiken för partiledaren?Israel-Palestina-konflikten är en fråga som väcker starka känslor i svensk politik och har gjort länge. 1974 träffade Olof Palme som första regeringschef från Väst PLO-ledaren Yassir Arafat och Sverige har sedan dess ansetts ha ett särskilt engagemang i frågan, inte utan kontroverser. Hur blev det så?Vi pratar också om de så kallade gängsamtalen mellan regeringen och oppositionen. Vad kom fram på mötet? Och kommer det att förändra något?Medverkande: Fredrik Furtenbach och Helena Gissén, inrikespolitiska kommentatorer på Ekot.Programledare: Parisa HöglundProducent: Viktor Mattsson

Wer hat heute vor 3 Jahren, am 9. Oktober 2020 den Friedensnobelpreis bekommen? Keine Einzelperson, sondern das Welternährungsprogramm der Vereinten Nationen. Das ist eine gemeinsam von der Generalversammlung und der Ernährungs- und Landwirtschaftsorganisation der UN getragene humanitäre Einrichtung - die wichtigste Institution der Vereinten Nationen im Kampf gegen den globalen Hunger. Hat weltweit rund 23.000 Mitarbeiter. Natürlich war es schon vor 3 Jahren berechtigt, diese große Einrichtung mit dem Nobelpreis zu ehren und dadurch auf sie aufmerksam zu machen. Wer hätte geahnt, dass das Welternährungsprogramm 2 Jahre später noch eine unnötige Extra-Aufgabe bekam, durch den brutalen Angriffskrieg Russlands gegen die Ukraine, die ‚Kornkammer Europas‘. Bei der letzten Ernte vor der russischen Invasion wurden in der Ukraine noch etwa 106 Mio t Getreide und Ölsaaten erzeugt. Wir wissen alle, wie schwierig es jetzt geworden ist mit der Produktion und vor allem der Ausfuhr von Getreide. Putin hat wissentlich und willentlich neben dem verheerenden Krieg gegen das Nachbarland den Hunger auf der Welt verschlimmert. Noch ein anderer Friedensnobelpreis kam mir dieser Tage in den Sinn: Im Dezember 1994 erhielt ihn Palästinenserführer Yassir Arafat gemeinsam mit den Isrealis Shimon Peres und Jitzchak Rabin - „für ihre Anstrengungen zur Lösung des Nahostkonflikts“. Da stehen mir angesichts der Angriffe seit vorgestern auf Israel, die viele einen neuen Krieg nennen, die Tränen in den Augen. Und gerade erst am Freitag hat diese höchste politische Auszeichnung die iranische Frauenrechtlerin Narges Mohammadi bekommen. Sie wird ihn nicht entgegennehmen können, wurde schon oft für ihren Einsatz für Menschenrechte eingesperrt. Aktuell verbüßt sie eine langjährige Haftstrafe in Teheran. Sollte man angesichts der Kriege, Krisen und Unterdrückung weltweit weiterhin jedes Jahr einen Friedensnobelpreis vergeben? Ja, sollte man! Hosted on Acast.

At the 30th anniversary of the failed Oslo Accords and the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we must ask "Who really failed us?". Caroline's guest in this week's show is Yigal Carmon, the founder and President of the Middle East Media Research Institute, (MEMRI). Carmon is a former senior intelligence officer and advisor to Prime Ministers Yitzhak Shamir and Rabin and was one of the first to bring Yassir Arafat's speeches calling for jihad to the attention of leading Israeli media figures, and politicians in real-time. MEMRI has also played a crucial role since 9/11 in exposing those who preach jihad and terrorism.

Hur var det att träffa PLO-ledaren Yassir Arafat för en nattlig intervju? Hur var stämningen på plats när Israels premiärminster Yitzhak Rabin blev skjuten? Och hur var det att bo på en kibbutz i början av 70-talet? Det är några av frågorna som kommer upp i veckans Hotspot, som bland annat handlar om flyktinglägren Sabra och Shatila, bistånd till demokratiutveckling och svensk Mellanöstern-bevakning. Gäst i programmet är Bengt G Nilsson som är journalist, författare och dokumentärfilmare.

I över 40 år personifierade Yassir Arafat den palestinska självständighetsrörelsen. Som ledare för PLO har han beskrivits som såväl en frihetshjälte, en terrorist, en slug realpolitiker och en misslyckad ledare – allt beroende på vem man frågar. Vi frågar Jan Guillou, som både träffat Arafat och stöttat Palestina under lång tid, om hur han ser på Arafats gärning och eftermäle. . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Vilken påverkan har filosofen Martin Heidegger haft på dagens klimatrörelse? Varför har Israel anklagats för kolonialism? Såg Stormuftin av Jerusalem och Yassir Arafat på det palestinska folket som ett artificiellt folk? Det är några av frågorna som vi tar upp i veckans Hotspot, som är en fortsättning på förra veckans samtal. Gäst i programmet är Johan Westerholm, grävande journalist och ansvarig utgivare för Ledarsidorna.se.

I Mellanöstern används svordomar och kärleksbetygelser med samma passion. I vår språkskola hör du varför det är en grov smädelse att säga du son av en sko och varför älsklingen kallas min lever. Vi berättar om de mest poetiska kärleksuttrycken och de smutsigaste förolämpningarna på arabiska, kurdiska och turkiska. En av de mest kända offentliga smädelserna var när Syriens dåvarande försvarsminister kallade den palestinske ledaren Yassir Arafat för son av 60 000 hundar, du son av 60 000 prostituerade. År 2008 fick USA:s president George W Bush ducka då en man kastade sin sko mot honom i Iraks huvudstad Bagdad. I Turkiet har president Tayyip Erdogan förbjudit förolämpningar av honom och tusentals har dömts efter att ha ansetts förolämpa presidenten. Samtidigt finns en överdådig flora av kärleksuttryck, i sånger beskrivs den älskade som mina ögons ljus, min killing och min ålder. Vi serverar svordomar och svärmerier,  kötteder och kärlek.Medverkande: Cecilia Uddén och Johan Mathias Sommarström, Mellanösternkorrespondenter, och Ekots Samar Hadrous och Besir Kavak från den kurdiska gruppen.Programledare: Johar BendjelloulProducent: Katja Magnusson Tekniker: Lisa Abrahamsson

Al Aqsa Intifada.  The Logic of Violence, the Impact of Violence.  There were two Intifadas. The first began in December, 1987. The second is called the Al Aqsa Intifada and began in September, 2000.  The first involved non-lethal violence on the part of the Palestinians, throwing stones, burning tires. The second was extremely violent.  In both cases, from a Palestinian point of view, the protection of Islam and Islamic Holy Sites was a major motivating force.  The Here are some names and terms you might not know: Names:  Yitzhak Rabin, Yasser Arafat, Dennis Ross, Aaron David Miller, Ehud Barak, Ariel Sharon, Benjamin Netanyahu, Anwar Sadat, Colonel Luft, Professor Papp, Marwan Barghouti, Shimon Peres, Sheikh Yassin, Dr. Rantisi. Yitzhak Shamir. . Other terms:  Oslo Accords of 1993, Camp David (Carter and Clinton efforts), IDF (Israeli military)There is an excellent film called Paradise Now. It focuses on the logic of suicide bombing. Menachem Begin wrote a memoir, The Revolt.  It addresses what is terrorism and what is not.  When US forces went into Afghanistan after 9/11 and entered the Al Qaeda camps they were stunned to discover Begin's  materials on Al Qaeda computers.  I was not surprised.  Begin's  organization was Irgun. Fatah is Yassir Arafat's party; Al Aqsa Brigade is a Fatah  military unit. Kill ratio is a term from the Vietnam War.  It means the ratio of our dead to their dead. The kill ratio in first Intifada was 23:1.  23 Palestinians died for every Israeli who died.  Why did I say 23:3?  That makes no sense.  But that kind of glitch happens in the middle of a talk. Note:  I originally delivered two talks on this topic.  This merges the two. 

Episode Description On Saturday evening, November 4, 1995, 25 years ago: Yitzkah Rabin, the first Israeli Prime Minister born in Israel was assassinated by Yigal Amir, an Israeli law student at Bar Ilan University and a religious, right-wing extremist. It happened at the Kings of Israel Square in Tel Aviv, now named Rabin Square, after a Peace Rally under the slogan "Yes to Peace-No to Violence", with over a hundred thousand supporters in attendance. The assassination represented the beginning of the end of one of the most hopeful, and also divisive eras in Israeli history- the peace process between the Palestinians and Israelis initiated by The Oslo Accords, a groundbreaking agreement led by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Yassir Arafat, Chairman of the Palestinian Authority with the strong support of US President Bill Clinton. We try to remember Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin as a person, a soldier, and a statesman, delve into the Oslo Accords and the peace process and reckon with what has happened in Israeli society since the tragedy of Rabin's assassination.

Berlin sonnt sich im Glanz internationaler Aufmerksamkeit. Queen Elizabeth II. und US-Präsident Jimmy Carter besuchen West-Berlin, der Osten versucht, mit Yassir Arafat und General Ghaddafi dagegen zu halten. Aber die vielen Prominenten sind auch Labsal für alle, die sich mit den Widrigkeiten des Alltags arrangieren müssen.

Hun elsker lyden av Oslo-trikken og kjæresten som spiller bass. Hun mener dagens ungdom beskrives best med ordet «omsorg», påstår at hun har klina med 80-tallslegenden Pat Sharp og har vært keen på Yassir Arafat. Linn Skåber er ukas gjest hos Ari & Michael.

Hur kommer det sig att just Olof Palme blev den person som överbryggade motsättningen mellan Arabvärlden och väst? En del av svaret handlar om vem Yassir Arafat var. Packa lätt!

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron, and Gilad Halpern discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. “A New Chapter in the Sad Book of Our Lives”: The Oslo Accords at 25 25 years ago this week, Yitzhak Rabin, Yassir Arafat and Bill Clinton gathered on the White House Lawn and made us believe that maybe a century of Palestinian-Jewish enmity was ending. What do we make of that unfulfilled hope, a quarter of a century later? Let them play X-Box!, or, The End of the People’s Army? The IDF plans to draft some for eight years, others for one year, others not at all: Is it finally really time to stick a fork in the notion of a “People’s Army”? The Hebrew Innoversity The Hebrew University makes all students – physicists, poets and philosophers – take a course on “entrepreneurship and innovation,” so students will find their way in a gig-economy in a high-tech nation. Is the notion of learning-for-its-own-sake dying before our eyes? Extra Segment: Does the Israeli Left Need to Fight for Its Own Truth? For our most spectacularly generous patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we will discuss an essay in Haaretz called, “Israel's Opposition Needs Sincere Leaders”, by one-time Labor-lion Uzi Baram, a minister throughout Rabin’s second run as Prime Minister, who argues that “the great mistake of the camp opposing the right is that it hasn’t clearly demarcated the 'good' and 'bad' players, and hasn’t fought for its own truth.” Does he have a point? Music Orphaned Land, whose video “Like Orpheus” just won the 2018 Progressive Music Award for Video of the Year, at the world-famous Globe Theatre in London, and whom an online petition nominates for a Nobel Peace Prize!

In this final episode of the Conservative Conscience for 2016, Daniel lays bare the truth about the so-called Palestinian cause.  The entire historical, legal, and geographical case for why there is no such thing as a distinct Arab “Palestinian” entity entitled to any land west of the Jordan River is recounted in this long episode.    It is incontrovertibly clear from a legal and historical standpoint that Israel has just as much of a right to exist in its so-called post-1967 borders as it does in its pre-’67 borders.  It is also patently obvious that from a geographical, moral, and security standpoint that anyone advocating a two state solution is implicitly denying Israel’s right to exist in any capacity.  Israel has already surrendered 94% of the land it acquired in a defensive war against its existence – The Sinai Peninsula and Gaza.  Anyone promoting an Arab Muslim state in the remaining 6% that would gut the heart of the tiny Jewish state – especially in light of the fact that Muslims control a land mass 640 times greater than Israel – is either woefully ignorant or supports something much more sinister.    It's time to get the facts straight: there already is an Arab Palestinian state – Jordan.  The two-state solution was carved out in 1922 in the last legally recognized agreement delineating boundaries of nation states. Arabs got 77% of the Mandate for Palestine, which was all the land east of the Jordan River, while Jews got the land to the west of the river.  History doesn’t lie.     Key Quotes: "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people."
