| Résumé: | The speaker analyzes Holocaust theology and says that its themes of suffering and empowerment, innocence and redemption, specialness and normalization help to explain some Israeli state policies but cannot influence or control them. He sees the intifada as an end to this theology because Jews can no longer regard themselves as innocent victims. He says that Jews now face the dilemma of either rejecting their policy of occupation or the teachings of the Torah which ask to resist the pattern of oppressing others. He draws a parallel between Israeli behavior towards Palestinians and Nazi behavior towards Jews and urges a Palestinian-Jewish solidarity on those grounds. Western Christians can act as brothers between Palestinians and Jews but must give up their romantic views of Jews as victims. (DÜI-Kwe) |
