Der gro\u00dfe israelische Philosoph und Diplomat Shlomo Avineri<\/a> erkl\u00e4rt in Ha’aretz<\/a>, warum einige seiner Verwandten\u00a0 sich nicht aus dem NS-beherrschten Polen nach Pal\u00e4stina retten konnten – wegen der erfolgreichen arabischen Opposition gegen die j\u00fcdische Einwanderung in der „dunkelsten Stunde des Judentums“.<\/p>\n

„They succeeded in shutting the country’s gates during the darkest hour of the Jewish people. Anyone seeking reconciliation between us and the Palestinians must insist that both sides be attentive to the suffering of the other side, and that goes for the Palestinians as well as for us.“<\/em><\/p>\n

Die damals in Pal\u00e4stina herrschenden Briten entschieden sich zum Appeasement gegen\u00fcber der arabischen Revolte, um den Nachschubweg aus Indien \u00fcber den Suez-Kanal nicht zu gef\u00e4hrden. Man f\u00fcrchtete, dass sich die Araber durch fortgesetzte gewaltsame Unterdr\u00fcckung der Revolte zusammenschlie\u00dfen und n\u00e4her an Nazideutschland und das faschistische Italien r\u00fccken w\u00fcrden. Die Briten deckelten darum im White Paper 1939 die\u00a0 j\u00fcdische Einwanderung bei\u00a0 75.000 <\/em>und erschwerten den Immobilienerwerb f\u00fcr Juden in Pal\u00e4stina.<\/p>\n

Die Appeasement-Politik hat den Mufti von Jerusalem nicht davon abgehalten, dennoch die N\u00e4he Hitlers zu suchen:<\/p>\n

„This policy did not completely achieve its goal; the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, found his way to Berlin anyway. An anti-British and pro-Nazi rebellion erupted in Iraq, led by Rashid Ali. But as far as the Jews were concerned, the British continued to consistently apply the principles of the White Paper during the war. The gates were shut to legal Jewish immigration, the British navy fought illegal immigration and ships seeking to save Jews from the Nazi occupation (such as the Struma) were returned to their port of origin; some of their passengers died at sea, others in the gas chambers.<\/p>\n

Guilt for the Holocaust lies with Nazi Germany and its allies. But an untold number of Jews, perhaps as many as hundreds of thousands – including my grandparents from the Polish town of Makow Podhalanski – were not saved and did not reach Mandatory Palestine because of the position taken by the Arabs.“<\/em><\/p>\n

Avineri will vor allem ein Argument entkr\u00e4ften, dass man immer wieder in Debatten \u00fcber die Legitimit\u00e4t Israels zu h\u00f6ren bekommt: „Warum mussten die Araber f\u00fcr den NS-Holocaust mit dem Verlust ihrer Heimat b\u00fc\u00dfen?“<\/p>\n

„One sometimes encounters the Palestinian argument that there is a basic injustice in the fact that they appear to have to pay the price for Europe’s crimes during the Holocaust. It’s true, of course, that Nazi Germany and its allies, and not the Palestinians, are those guilty of perpetrating the Holocaust. Nonetheless, any argument that links the establishment of the State of Israel exclusively to the Holocaust ignores the fact that modern Zionism preceded the annihilation of the Jews in World War II, even if the Holocaust clearly strengthened the claim for Jewish sovereignty.“<\/em><\/p>\n

Die zionistische Einwanderung nach Pal\u00e4stina ging dem Holocaust erstens lange voraus, und zweitens h\u00e4tten die Araber durch ihre Opposition gegen die j\u00fcdische Einwanderung ausgerechnet zur Zeit der schlimmsten j\u00fcdischen Bedr\u00e4ngnis eine Mitverantwortung f\u00fcr viele Opfer auf sich geladen.<\/p>\n

Avineri hat Recht, an diesen dunkle Vorgeschichte der Staatsgr\u00fcndung Israels zu erinnern.\u00a0 Man sieht hier, dass sehr viel mehr einer Auss\u00f6hnung im Wege steht als nur die Ereignisse der letzten Jahre.<\/p>\n

Aber Empathie ist eben eine Sache auf Gegenseitigkeit. So lange eine isarelische Politik herrscht, die den Arabern Pal\u00e4stinas jedes Mitgef\u00fchl f\u00fcr ihre Katastrophe in Folge der Staatsgr\u00fcndung Israels verweigert, kann man kaum erwarten, dass jene der j\u00fcdischen Trag\u00f6die mit Empathie begegnen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
