'It's Better to Be Born Jewish. It Is a Fascinating, Annoying, Disgusting, Exciting, Horrific, Wonderful People'
Holocaust scholar Yehuda Bauer, who died this month at age 98, left behind a eulogy he wrote about himself. 'We don't have another people, screwed up though this one is' Oct 30, 2024 12:04 pm IST Send in e-mailSend in e-mail Oct 30, 2024 12:04 pm IST I realize that it isn't customary for a deceased to eulogize himself. More often than not, his role is to be lying silently, deaf to the praises and veneration.
Hamas and Israel live in different worlds
Hamas is an Islamist fundamentalist movement, whose ultimate aim is the conversion of all of humanity to its version of Islam. Its internal structure is based on consultations within a narrow body of leaders who serve as both theologians and as politicians.

The Russo-Ukrainian War Through a Historian’s Eyes
There is a historical background to the Ukrainian crisis, and it is hotly disputed. There is no agreement on when Kyiv was founded, but in the ninth century, Varangians (Vikings) established a hold over the site, and the term Rus’ may be a Scandinavian word. Russian nationalist historians dispute this notion, insisting that Slavic tribes controlled the area and possibly built a fortress there.
Yehuda Bauer: Israel Apartheid vorzuwerfen, verschleiert das eigentliche Problem
Die Debatte über die offizielle israelische Politik gegenüber den Palästinensern konzentriert sich wiederholt auf die Frage, ob man von Apartheid – nach dem südafrikanischen Muster – sprechen kann oder nicht. Die Debatte scheint mir immer sinnloser zu sein. Die Frage ist, ob man die offizielle israelische Politik für richtig oder für falsch und für unmoralisch hält, nicht, wie man sie benennt.

Appointing Eitam threatens the future of Yad Vashem - opinion
Yad Vashem's staff includes people of diverse political, religious and social positions. And yet, it has never taken sides. By YEHUDA BAUER, HAVI DREIFUSS, GUY MIRON DECEMBER 3, 2020 20:21 EFFI EITAM’S worldview on history could also seriously damage Yad Vashem’s status and its ability to advance Holocaust research and commemoration.
COVID-19 gives way to another outbreak of the anti-Semitism virus. We need a cure - Opinion - Israel News
Of course, the history of Jew hatred began before Christianity, in the Hellenistic period if not earlier. I believe its origins lie in the difference between the developing Jewish culture and the “global” Hellenistic civilization that aspired to cultural, social and political unification within its territory. As the Book Esther (written by Jews, not by anti-Semites) says: For they do not follow the religion (i.e., the customs) of the king.
Daniel Blatman's anti-Semitic attack | Opinion
In his piece “Maybe No ‘Different Germany’ Exists,” Prof. Daniel Blatman sharply attacks the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance for being a tool of the Israeli government in general, and specifically for establishing a definition of anti-Semitism that ostensibly serves the political interests of the Israeli government.
Leave the Holocaust alone, Mr. Netanyahu - Opinion - Israel News
The humiliating Polish-Israeli declaration, in which the Israel government basically accepts the nationalist Polish narrative about what happened to the Jews on Polish soil during the Holocaust, should be understood in the international context. It was the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orban, who in 2014 coined the term illiberal democracy, which he is now pursuing.

The Holocaust Can Never Escape the Jewish Ghetto
Prof. Daniel Blatman objects to 'Judeo-centrist' Holocaust studies, but after all, Jews weren't brought to Treblinka merely because they were human beings.
I come from a people who gave the Ten Commandments...
I come from a people who gave the Ten Commandments to the world. Time has come to strenghten them by three additional ones, which we ought to adopt and commit ourselves to: thou shall not be a perpetrator; thou shall not be a victim; and thou shall never, but never, be a bystander.
How Israel Treats Its 'Infiltrators'
The new Anti-Infiltration Law presented by the Israeli government, after two previous iterations of the law have been voided by the High Court, is the culmination of the development of a completely unreasonable government policy toward the foreigners from Africa. Government officials and members of Knesset keep referring to Sudanese and Eritreans as “work infiltrators” but, at the same time, the state does not examine their individual asylum claims according to international standards.
