Stimmen aus Israel | Der Almanach zum 7. Oktober 2023 – Versuch einer Einordnung
by Gisela Dachs,
Der 7. Oktober 2023 stellt für die Israelis eine Zäsur ohnegleichen dar. Von nun an wird es in der Zeitrechnung nur noch ein Davor und ein Danach geben. Das schiere Ausmaß und die ungeheuerliche Brutalität der Angriffe der Hamas, die Geiselnahmen und ein Krieg, so lange wie noch keiner zuvor, haben die Nation traumatisiert. Die Grundfesten, auf denen man sich im eigenen Staat sicher fühlte, wurden zutiefst erschüttert. Wie kann hier ein Neuanfang gelingen?Ein Jahr danach versucht der Jüdische Almanach einen Rückblick und eine Einordnung der Ereignisse. Die hier versammelten Texte, die diesmal alle aus Israel berichten, erzählen ganz persönliche Geschichten, es geht um Ortsbesichtigungen, Momentaufnahmen, Zustandsbeschreibungen, Zukunftsvisionen; es geht um den Zionismus, um Trauerarbeit, Erinnerung und Resilienz, um alte Bruchlinien und neuen möglichen Zusammenhalt.
