Fania Oz-Salzberger: Will the Democracy Movement in Israel prevail?
Channel: DIG Bremen⧸Unterweser
Date: 2023-06-24

For 23 weeks now, hundreds of thousands have been demonstrating in Israel against the Netanyahu government's plans to restructure the country's judiciary, to expand the influence of the national religious, to question civil rights. At present, the government is not making any headway, but nothing has been decided yet. The question is whether the democracy movement will stay together, agree on new goals (like e.g. a constitution), what proposals are there to bring society back together a little?

Prof. Fania Oz-Salzberger is herself active in the democracy movement. After studying and working in Oxford, she has been teaching history at the University of Haifa since 2009. She is known in Germany for her books "Israelis in Berlin" (2009) and "Jews and Words" (2013), together with her father Amos Oz.

Organized by the Deutsch-Israelische Gesellschaft Bremen/Unterweser e.V. (German-Israeli Society) in cooperation with the Henrich Böll Foundation Bremen. The lecture will be held in English after a short introduction in German. The discussion will be in German and English.
