OFFENER BRIEF / 16.März 2005

An die
Präsidentin der KMK

Werte Frau Prof.Dr.Wanka,

verschiedenen Veröffentlichungen (siehe unten beigefügt) entnahmen wir, daß zum einen, an deutschen Schulen ein sogenannter "IsraelTag" installiert werden soll, außerdem durch Mitglieder des Bundes jüdischer Studenten in Deutschland ein Unterricht besonderer Art an Schulen stattfinden soll -- unter dem Motto: "Tell them the truth". Wir fragen uns nun sehr besorgt, was beinhaltet diese "Wahrheit"? Ist es mehr zionistische Propaganda, was, liest man den Artikel aus der Jerusalem Post, nicht auszuschließen ist. Anscheinend wird hier versucht, z.B. UN-Resolutionen bezüglich Jerusalem, völlig zu ignorieren. Mag Israel 1980 auch "ganz" Jerusalem zu seiner ewigen Haupstadt erklärt haben, die Internationale Gemeinschaft hat diese Einverleibung bis heute nicht akzeptiert und anerkannt. Tel Aviv gilt als Hauptstadt Israels. Dies Beispiel zeigt, daß wir gar nicht genug kritisch einer Unterrichtung der Schüler durch die Aktivisten des BJSDs gegenüberstehen können. Die Sorgfaltspflicht gegenüber den Schülern erfordert eine genaue Prüfung der auf sie einwirkenden "Unterrichtung". Die Erfüllung dieser Sorgfaltspflicht obliegt auch Ihnen.

Was solche "Education" soll, was sie an den Schulen zu suchen hat, ist überhaupt die Frage aller Fragen

Am 12.5.05 findet bundesweit ein, von diversen zionistischen, jüdischen und sympathisierenden Gruppen initiierter, TAG FÜR ISRAEL statt, Motto: I like Israel. Soweit, so gut. Warum dann in Schulen ein Israel-Tag stattfinden soll, auf Dauer angelegt, entzieht sich unserem Verständnis.

Wenn schon diese Art von speziellem "Unterricht" an den Schulen, müßte es dann, statt "Israel-Tag ", nicht einen "PALÄSTINA-TAG" geben? Denn die Geschichte Israels beginnt mit dem Leid des palästinensischen Volkes, die israelische Staatsgründung fand in Palästina statt.

Vielleicht wenden Sie nun ein, daß der Grund der Unterstützung für die Idee eines Israel-Tages an den Schulen in einer besonderen deutschen Verantwortung gegenüber der "jüdischen Heimstatt" zu finden ist. Gerade aus dieser Verantwortung heraus müßte dann selbstverständlich auch die Geschichte des palästinensischen Volkes dargestellt werden. Die Palästinenser sind die letzten Opfer in der Reihe der NaziDiktatur -Opfer.

Wie wir dem Artikel aus der Jerusalem Post weiter entnehmen, soll das moderne Israel an die Schüler vermittelt werden. Um eine harmlose Touristik-Kampagne kann es sich dabei nicht handeln. Liegen Ihnen Unterlagen zu der Schulung der Schüler vor?

Ob dabei auch die Menschenrechtsverletzungen, an das Ignorieren jeglicher UN-SR-Resolutionen, an die nun jahrzehntelange Besatzung, an die Annexionen, an die Häuserzerstörungen, an den Mauerbau, an die Verstöße gegen die IV.Genfer Konvention..und so weiter, des israelischen Staates zum Thema werden? Dies kann in Zweifel gezogen werden.

Eine "geschönte" Geschichte Israels verfängt eher bei Schülern und Erwachsenen, die entweder völlig unbedarft (wenig informiert) mit dem Thema konfrontiert werden, oder mit eingeschränktem Blick schon ihr Urteil fällten.

Die Informierung der Bevölkerung mittels Medien ( z.B. NachrichtenSendungen, Zeitungsartikel; in-u.ausländische) über den sogenannten Nahost-Konflikt ist gewährleistet. ein Tal der Ahnungslosen gibt es heutzutage nicht mehr!

Ihnen möchten wir die, am Ende des Briefes, angefügten HAARETZ-

Artikel

1. "Using the Holocaust to ward off criticism" von Amira Hass, 16.3.05
2. "Zionism as an illegal outpost", von Nadav Shragai; 15.3.05
3. "The Jewish Agency's time has passed", von Gideon Levy,13.3.05 (informiert Sie über Aufgaben und Ziele der JA)

offerieren.

Ausblendungen, Verdrängungen, Ignoranz, gar feiges Schweigen sollte eben NICHT die Lehre aus der jüngsten deutschen Geschichte für uns sein... und für unsere Jugendlichen erst recht nicht.

Das Gewissen, die Scham, vielleicht auch ein unterschwellig vorhandenes Schuldgefühl gegenüber den in Israel lebenden Juden sollte und darf nicht dazu verleiten, wegzuschauen, wenn von diesen, ihren politischen Führungen u. Anhängern, Menschenrechte auf übelste Art und Weise verletzt werden.

Auf Kosten anderer ein Gut-Mensch sein zu wollen, ist niederträchtig. Der politische Gebrauch des Holocausts ist leider Tatsache..eine Instrumentalisierung der Opfer, zum Teil reicht es an eine Verhöhnung ran. Es schmerzt, nicht allein Amira Hass und die Menschen in Israel, die das "Andere Israel" ausmachen.

Wir appellieren inständig an Sie, Frau Präsidentin Prof.Dr. Wanka, die beabsichtigte Installierung eines "Israel-Tages" zu überdenken und ebenso die besondere Unterrichtung an Schulen durch Mitglieder des BJSDs, unterstützt von der Jewish Agency.

Auch wenn es Sie schmerzen sollte, Ihr bisheriges Bild vom Staat Israel etwas korrigieren zu müssen, lesen Sie die beigefügten Artikel. Danach verfängt jedoch die Aussage: Ich wußte von nichts, nicht mehr.

In diesem Sinne!

German Jewish youths teach peers

IRINA BESSARAB, THE JERUSALEM POST
Mar. 10, 2005

In light of recent surveys showing that German youths have a very limited knowledge of Israel, German Jewish students have undertaken a pilot project to teach their peers about some facets of Jewish life in Israel and Germany.

The Israel Short Questionnaire (ISQ - pronounced "I ask you") is the latest project of the Federal Association of Jewish Students in Germany (BJSD), in which about 10 Jewish student volunteers from each local Jewish Student Society of Germany will be sent to participate in an educational program at German secondary schools.

Founded to mark the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Germany, the project aims to correct misleading ideas of German pupils about modern Jewish life in both countries, under the motto "Tell them the truth."

What do many German students not know? According to the BJSD's report on the recent pilot project in Hamburg, many of the 3,000 participants were unaware that:

Israel is a democratic state.

Jerusalem is Israel's capital (not Tel Aviv).

Germany's Jewish population is around 150,000 (not millions). (nach dt.Medienberichten kamen zwischen 1990 bis heute
ca. 190.000 jüd. Kontingentflüchtlinge nach Deutschland. IS)

The project is being carried out under the patronage of Dr. Rita Suessmuth, president of the German Bundestag (Parliament) (???? sind alle anderen Infos auch so "true"? IS) , and Dr. Salomon Korn, vice president of the Central Jewish Committee of Germany. Like previous BJSD programs, it is supported by the Jewish Agency and the Central Committee of Jews in Germany. It will last eight months, after which its effectiveness will be evaluated.

"The project is not politically motivated," BJSD chairwoman Elena Eyngorn told the Post in a telephone interview.

"We want them to realize that they have the power to change stereotypical ideas. If they do not, who will?"

"Deutsch-israelischer Schüleraustausch soll ausgebaut werden"

Am 11.03.2005 empfing die Kultusministerkonferenz den israelischen Botschafter S.E. Shimon Stein im Jüdischen Museum Berlin zu einem Meinungsaustausch

Beide Seiten messen dem 40. Jahrestag der Aufnahme diplomatischer Beziehungen zwischen Israel und der Bundesrepublik Deutschland am 12.05.2005 eine besondere Bedeutung für die weitere Intensivierung der bildungs- und kulturpolitischen Beziehungen bei. Sie begrüßen die für dieses Jahr geplante Unterzeichnung des deutsch-israelischen Kulturabkommens, das die Beziehungen zwischen beiden Seiten im Bildungsbereich auf eine rechtliche Grundlage stellen wird. Sie erhoffen sich hiervon positive Impulse und eine weitere Intensivierung der bilateralen Zusammenarbeit.

Die Kultusministerinnen und Kultusminister der Länder erklärten ihre Bereitschaft, anlässlich des Jahrestages in den Schulen zahlreiche Aktivitäten und Projekte den deutsch-israelischen Beziehungen zu widmen. Beide Seiten sprachen sich zudem für die Einführung eines "Deutsch-Israelischen Tages" insbesondere an Schulen aus, in dessen Rahmen durch vielfältige Aktivitäten die deutsch-israelische Freundschaft gefördert und der Kultur und Geschichte des jeweiligen Partnerlandes besondere Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet werden soll.

Die Kultusministerkonferenz und der israelische Botschafter haben auch die Gefahr des zunehmenden Rechtsextremismus erörtert. Die Präsidentin der Kultusministerkonferenz, Prof. Dr. Johanna Wanka, erklärte: "Die Länder sind sich bewusst, dass die Schulen über die Gestaltung von einzelnen Gedenktagen, wie der Befreiung des Vernichtungslagers Auschwitz am 27. Januar, hinaus eine besondere Verantwortung in Hinblick auf das Bewahren der Erinnerung an die vom nationalsozialistischen Regime an den Juden verübten Verbrechen tragen." Der Holocaust, eingebettet in den Unterricht über Ursachen, Strukturen und Funktionsmechanismen der nationalsozialistischen Gewaltherrschaft, ist fester Bestandteil in den Lehrplänen aller Schularten.

Trotz vielfältigem Engagements, das zu Demokratie und Toleranz erziehen und die Gefahr des Rechtsextremismus deutlich machen soll, häufen sich Meldungen von wachsendem Antisemitismus. Es ist daher ein Anliegen der Bundesländer, dieser Entwicklung entschieden entgegenzutreten und rechtsextremistischer Gesinnung vorzubeugen. Dabei darf die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Judentum nicht auf die Vergangenheit beschränkt werden, sondern muss auch sämtliche politischen, religiösen und kulturellen Aspekte der Gegenwart umfassen. Wünschenswert ist ein unmittelbarer Austausch mit den hier lebenden jüdischen Bürgern sowie mit den Bürgern des Staates Israel.

Beide Seiten haben daher erklärt, dass dem deutsch-israelischen Schüleraustausch eine große Bedeutung im Hinblick auf einen lebendigen Austausch der jungen Generation aus beiden Staaten zukommt. Vor dem Hintergrund des Jubiläum kam man überein, dem Thema "40 Jahre deutschisraelischer Schüleraustausch" besondere Aufmerksamkeit zu widmen. Bürokratische Hemmnisse sollen abgebaut werden, um die Zahl der Austauschsch üler weiter zu erhöhen.

Using the Holocaust to ward off criticism

By Amira Hass

The crowd of world leaders visiting the new Holocaust History Museum at Yad Vashem attests to the strength of Israel's position in the West.

Israel is often criticized in the home country of these leaders, but many Israelis and Jews will, as usual, attribute such criticism to anti-Semitism. Palestinians and left wingers including Jews will discover that the knowledge about the Israeli occupation in these countries is meager, and the public's interest in it is weak.

The pilgrimage to Jerusalem of so many European leaders shows that they are not deterred by the criticism of Israel - they are taking part in a media event that can only be interpreted as support for Israel, as it is today.

At best, the visit can be seen as encouragement to both sides to stick to the "renewed peace process." But encouragement for what? For the meetings between Mohammed Dahlan and Nasser Yousef with Shaul Mofaz? For the separation barrier, whose construction is continuing with vigor, contrary to the verdict of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague? For the condescending Israeli "gestures" - 200 more movement permits to merchants, a road open to private Palestinian vehicles, not only to public ones? Or for the continued mashing of Palestinian East Jerusalem and severing it >from the rest of the Palestinian territory, in violation of the international demand that East Jerusalem serve as the Palestinian state's capital?

Are the German foreign minister and the Dutch and Swedish prime ministers - after crossing themselves and proving they remember the Holocaust - planning to remind Israel that all the settlements, not only the outposts, are illegal? Will they demand that Israel evacuate them? Which of the participants in the ceremony will go to see the roads for Jews only and for Palestinians only? Will any of them protest the laws discriminating against Israeli citizens, only because they are non-Jews - Arabs - and threaten to impose sanctions unless these laws are revoked?

One of the infuriating absurdities in every injustice, especially one of inconceivable proportions like the German murder industry (with extensive European aid), is that the victims and their offspring remember and live it day in and day out. The perpetrators, however, repress and forget it, and it is easy for their offspring to ignore it.

So let the entire diplomatic throng, which is seeking Sharon's audience today, go and talk of the European responsibility for the Holocaust in its own territory, not in Israel. Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Krakow, Sarajevo, and the villages and forests around them are soaked with the memories of our parents, with the forgetfulness of the perpetrators and their offspring, and with the helplessness and indifference of those standing idly by. Let the prime ministers and foreign ministers go there and raise the memory and knowledge and historic understanding. And not just once a year, on the day of Auschwitz's liberation or Germany's surrender, just to pay lip service.

We remember and feel the pain of that liquidation day by day. Let us confront them with it day by day. For example, let it be inscribed on a large marble slab outside every house in which Jews used to live, where they were deported and where they were murdered. Let every railway station from which the human transports were dispatched provide the information: when, how many trains a day, how many people. Let the names of those responsible for the transport be written down - at the police station, the railway station, city hall.

The way to fight the fading memory is not merely with memorial monuments and ceremonies. It is done mainly with an uncompromising rejection of the master race ideology, which divided the world into superior and inferior races and denied the principle of equality among human beings. We were placed at the bottom of the ladder of the Nazi ideology. Would this ideology not have been criminal had we been ranked in the upper rungs?

An ideology that divides the world into those who are worth more and those who are worth less, into superior and inferior beings, does not have to reach the dimensions of the German genocide to be improper and wrong - the apartheid in South Africa, for example.

Thirty-eight years of Israeli occupation of the Palestinian nation have accustomed generations of Israelis to regard the Palestinians as inferior, and therefore not as deserving as we are. But hush, one must not say that out loud, because Israelis will raise an indignant cry: "How can you compare?"

In the same way, it is forbidden to demand of us - with diplomatic threats - to change our ways. Because then we will remind them of our people who were murdered.

This widely covered event shows that Israel has turned the liquidation of Europe's Jews into an asset. Our murdered relatives are being enlisted to enable Israel to continue not giving a damn about international decisions against the occupation. The suffering our parents endured in the ghettoes and concentration camps that filled Europe, the physical and mental anguish and torment that our parents were subjected to every single day since the "liberation," are used as weapons to thwart any international criticism of the society we are creating here. This is a society with built-in discrimination on the basis of nationality, and the discrimination is spreading on either side of the Green Line. This is a society that is systematically continuing to banish the Palestinian nation from its land and usurp its rights as a nation and its chances for a humane future.

Zionism as an illegal outpost

By Nadav Shragai

"Unauthorized settlement outposts" have existed here for many years, ever since Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel resumed in the early 20th century.

"A small Jewish settlement among large Arab villages to the east, north and south," wrote Moshe Smilansky about the first settlement, Petah Tikva, in its early years. "Its houses are in one place, in Yehud. Its fields are elsewhere, and Arab fields are in between, and the ownership of the land is complicated."

Morally, there is no difference between the settlement of parts of the Land of Israel inhabited by Arabs in the early 20th century and settlements and outposts in parts of the Land of Israel inhabited by Arabs in the early 21st century. Either both are moral, or both are immoral. The real debate over the Model 2005 outposts is also unrelated to law and order. It is taking place between those who think there is nothing more moral, and those who think there is nothing more immoral.

Both settlement movements were the product of normative political Zionism. Settlements in the Negev and the Galilee were political, just as settlements in Judea, Samaria and Gaza are political. And who knows this better than Ariel Sharon, who, before his opinions changed, urged his colleagues to "seize the hilltops"?

Carmiel and the hilltop communities in the north were established to Judaize the Galilee. Ariel and the outposts were established to Judaize the northern West Bank. Both were established as part of the great battle over the Land of Israel. The outposts were meant to fill in the empty spaces between established settlements, to prevent the Arabs from seizing control of them. Some of the lands on which the outposts were built were purchased, as in Migron and Givat Assaf. Once upon a time, this was called redeeming the land. Today, with the confusion characteristic of the spirit of the times, this is called "seizure."

It turns out that the World Zionist Organization's settlement division, a government agency, took its organizational and ideological affiliation with the WZO too seriously. Ron Shechner, the defense minister's advisor on settlements - an honest man, the salt of the earth, who was criticized in the Sasson report - also played a role. The ministers and the prime minister knew; some encouraged the process. The prime minister himself gave a detailed explanation of how to turn a barren outpost into a settlement. And he asked Einat Ehrlich of the outpost of Amona: "Why aren't you people building?"

That is how Israel was built. Even some of the "major settlement blocs" that Sharon (still?) wants to keep began their lives as unauthorized outposts. Even Ma'aleh Adumim, a large city, the largest settlement in the territories, began as an outpost with temporary housing. It is all a matter of definition - and who is doing the defining. If the outposts are neighborhoods of existing settlements, as they have been over the last 12 years, they are legal. But if they are "new settlements," which are not "adjacent," as determined by Sasson, they are "illegal."

The Sasson report is political and problematic, not only because it ignores Sharon and the rest of the political echelon, which approved and gave orders and knew, and not only because it ignores the legal system's responsibility for what happened, but also because it was born of a discriminatory approach.

Less well-publicized investigatory committees have in the past investigated illegal building in East Jerusalem and Israel's Arab sector. Their conclusions were unequivocal. When Haim Ramon served as minister for Jerusalem affairs under Ehud Barak, he informed the Knesset that more than 20,000 buildings had been built without a permit in East Jerusalem. Documents were seized at Orient House a few years ago that proved that this construction was not merely a response to the population's distress; it was also a political move. But nobody proposed destroying these buildings. On the contrary: Israel under Barak and Shimon Peres and Ramon negotiated with the Palestinian Authority over their retroactive legalization.

Nor did anyone suggest indicting successive mayors of Jerusalem or interior ministers for having deliberately turned a blind eye to this construction, sometimes for political reasons. There is also widespread illegal building in the Arab and Bedouin areas of Israel. The state accepts this, because reality - which includes the battle over this disputed land - is stronger.

The story of the outposts, just like the story of the construction in East Jerusalem, is a story about seeking to alter the status quo. But the outposts are an action of the old Zionist variety, which is now gradually being made illegal - first by Attorney General Menachem Mazuz, then by Talia Sasson, and the High Court of Justice will doubtless follow in their footsteps.

In essence, the state is currently redefining Zionism as a movement that retreats under pressure, terrorism and threats, as a movement that gives up its dreams. The naive residents of the outposts are out of step. Nevertheless, they understand quite well what many others, perhaps even in the erring and confused Likud Party, will understand later: Gush Katif, the northern West Bank and the outposts are only the beginning. Sharon and his advisor Dov Weisglass - who, together with their new partners, Yossi Beilin and the Arab parties, are tearing the land and the nation apart - are already planning to uproot tens of thousands of additional Jews from the West Bank. And in secret, they are even talking about Jerusalem.

The Jewish Agency's time has passed

By Gideon Levy

It requires a measure of arrogance for a state to turn to the citizens of another state and call upon them to emigrate, claiming it offers superior qualities. It takes a good bit of impudence when this claim is unfounded. And it requires a measure of racism to encourage the immigration of certain populations while closing the gates of the state to others, solely based on their ethnic origin. The fact that this type of activity takes place under the guise of the Jewish Agency does not make the State of Israel any less responsible.

The time has passed for the "job fairs" the Jewish Agency has recently been organizing in Britain and France, as reported in Haaretz on Thursday. Other Zionist activities to encourage aliyah to Israel also do more harm than good. The same is true of the Jewish Agency itself, an anachronistic body that should be shut down. The gates of the country should remain open to Jews wishing to immigrate, but the efforts invested in trying to persuade them to do so should be halted.

The activities to encourage aliyah constitute an intrusion upon the sovereignty of states that are friendly to Israel. The fact that these states do not oppose these problematic activities does not mean they have a seal of approval. This Zionist activity sometimes borders on subversion: Imagine how we would react to the agitation of a foreign state that encourages the citizens of Israel to abandon it. If the state needed this kind of activity in the past - in order to save Jews in distress or to ensure its existence - there is no justification for it today. Israel does not need additional Jews in order to ensure its existence, and there are almost no Jews in the world living in real danger.

On the other hand, there is not enough substance behind the promises the Jewish Agency and the state make about what new immigrants can expect here. Today, there is no place less secure for Jews than the State of Israel. Only here are their lives and the lives of their children endangered. The national home and the land that absorbs immigrants is currently the most difficult battlefront of the Jewish people. The same is true regarding the promise of economic betterment. The job fairs are liable to generate great disappointment. Is Israel really a better place than the United States from an economic perspective? Is social welfare really superior here in comparison to Britain? Do Israel's citizens enjoy more liberties than those in France? Even the Jews who suffer from anti-Semitic persecution in Europe live under broader liberty and equality that those granted to the non-Jewish citizens of Israel.

Most of the Jews in the world live under better conditions than those awaiting them in Israel. Israel may attract some of these Jews, but not because of the economic or personal security it offers them. It is a bit difficult to fathom how a state with rising unemployment and shrinking medical benefits can dare to offer employment and other economic advantages to citizens of other countries that are more affluent and well-established. There is an immoral element in this, not only in regard to these prospective immigrants, but also in relation to the citizens of Israel: Assistance to the new immigrants will necessarily come at the expense of the eroding level of social welfare in Israel. Adding another medication to the basket of subsidized medicines is much more essential and ethical than bringing another new immigrant to Israel.

Less ethical is the courting of immigrants from the West, while the gates are locked against other groups. Thousands of Falashmura are crowded together in Addis Ababa, waiting to immigrate to Israel. There is no need to organize a job fair to persuade them to immigrate, but the gates of Israel have been closed to them for years. The European Jews are courted, while various pretexts are used to prevent the African Jews from immigrating. There is more than a bit of racism in this.

The attitude toward other populations is even worse. Foreign workers who toil here for years, invited by us, are expelled in shame. Unlike the countries of the West, there is no chance for them to gain citizenship in Israel. Why? Unbearable difficulties await Jews who wish to live here with non-Jewish partners. Under the current law, there is no possibility of family unification for Palestinians, who are also children of this land. Women are separated from their husbands, and children from their parents, because of a harsh and discriminatory immigration policy. One hand encourages aliyah and the other cruelly slams the gates. The only criterion is ethnic origin. Does the desire to preserve "the Jewish character" of the state justify all of the means?

Aliyah no longer needs to be a value in itself. Those who wanted to make aliyah did so and those who wish to immigrate in the future can do likewise. And those who wish to emigrate from Israel are also free to do so. This no longer has anything to do with values. Israel today knows how to honor its emigres if they succeed in their new countries. Who decided that a bigger Israel is better? And who determined that immigration to Israel is something of inherent value?

The policy of encouraging aliyah is aimed only at the "demographic demon" - the demonic danger that is ostensibly threatening the state's existence. This demon will not disappear by means of aliyah, even large-scale aliyah. Even if another million new immigrants arrive, as in the prime minister's exaggerated vision, this will not change the enduring fact that between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea live two peoples entitled to equal rights. No massive aliyah will erase the other people from the face of the earth. The demon will only stop being a demon when peace reigns and the state becomes more just.

The Jewish Agency's aliyah emissaries should come home, job fairs should be shut down and the Jewish Agency should cease to exist. Jews who wish to immigrate are welcome to do so at their own responsibility, knowing that there is a considerable element of adventure in this move. The assistance extended to them must be exactly the same as the assistance the citizens of the state receive. In the current reality, no one can honestly promise them personal security, an economic future or an especially just society. It is only fair to tell them this.
