Gilbert Achcar introductory words public speech on may 11th, 2010 in Berlin

0 of 5 Stars
Introductory words of Daniel Schönpflug from Centre Marc Bloch and Ulrike Freitag from Zentrum Moderner Orient.The Arabs and the Holocaust: The Arab–Israeli War of NarrativesThe Arab-Israeli conflict goes far beyond the wars waged in the Middle East: There is a war of narratives revolving around the two defining traumas of the conflict: the Holocaust and the Nakba. One side is charged with Holocaust denial, the other with exploiting a tragedy while denying the tragedies of others. In this path-breaking book, political scientist Gilbert Achcar explores these conflicting narratives and considers their role in today’s Middle East dispute. He analyzes the various Arab responses to the Holocaust, from the earliest intimations of the genocide, through the creation of Israel and the occupation of Palestine, and up to our own time, critically assessing the political and historical context for these responses. Drawing on previously unseen sources in multiple languages, Achcar offers a unique ideological mapping of the Arab world, in the process defusing an international propaganda war that has become a major stumbling block in the path of Arab-Western understanding.
