On Sunday, January 12, 2025, a political morning pint takes place in the Alstaden colliery, which is devoted to the difficult topic of the Middle East conflict. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians discusses as well as paths to a peaceful solution. The beginning of the event is heralded with a 30-minute contribution by the television station Arte, which is entitled "Dialog Middle East". This film deals with the tragic losses that have suffered both sides and illuminates the shared longing for peace.

The discussion is led by Professor Ninon Colneric, a former judge at the European Court of Justice. It will bring the origin and work of the state of Israel closer to the participants. Against the background of these historical developments, the essential necessity is emphasized to initiate a grass root movement against wars. The "Oasis of Peace" (NEVE SHALOM-WACHAT al-Salam) Initiative will find special support, which is active in Hebrew and Arabic by promoting the dialogue between the peoples and proposing concrete steps to communicate.

The role of civil society in the peace process

In addition, the work of members of the organizations "The Parents Circle - Families Forum" and "Combatants for Peace" is pointed out. These associations have been committed to non -violent solutions in the Middle East conflict for years. Every spring there is a common ceremony in which the victims of both sides are honored. The aim of this ceremony is to address the shared pain and to promote mutual understanding. The report "Re: Dialog in Middle East" created by an Israeli-Palestinian film team illustrates this process of approaching from different perspectives.

The possibility of non-violent solutions is also discussed in the broader discussion about the Middle East peace process. Historically, efforts to peace between Israel and the Palestinians are extremely complex. Diplomatics that have been undertaken since the 1970s sometimes had great difficulties. Although there were significant events such as the handshake between Jitzchak Rabin and Jassir Arafat in 1993, the conflict has not been decisively defused since then. Critics of criticism of these efforts show that the conflict is often regarded as insoluble.

encouraging examples of non -violent change

Nevertheless, the participants of the political morning pint encourage historical examples of non -violent changes from South Africa and 1989 in Germany. These successes underline the opportunities that exist when people are strengthened on site. Her collective goal is to realize the longing for peace that exists on both sides of the conflict and to find late solutions for the long -lasting social challenges.

In summary, the political morning pint in Oberhausen is not only a platform for discussion about the difficult problem in the Middle East, but also a step towards a continuous dialogue that could lead to hope for non -violent solutions in the long term. The encouragement for intercultural understanding is the key to working on a common goal beyond political obstacles.
