70 years ago, on 14 May 1948, the State of Israel was founded. Yves Bossart speaks to Amos Oz, Israel’s most important author, about the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, about spiritual scars, well-meaning fanatics and about the peace-making power of literature.

The son of Ukrainian immigrants, Amos Oz was born in 1939 in Jerusalem, which at the time was still part of the British Mandate for Palestine. In 1948, at nine years old, he experienced the civil war between Jewish and Arab troops and the founding of the State of Israel.
Three years later, his mother took her own life. Oz joins a kibbutz, fights in the Six-Day War and Yom Kippur War, later founding the peace movement Peace Now and becoming a literature professor.
To this day, he continues to support a two-state solution on the land of historical Palestine. Yet is this solution still even feasible now in view of Israeli settlement policy? What impact does the ongoing war have emotionally on the people? And how does one get fanatics to listen?
Yves Bossart meets the multi-award-winning and most important author in Israel on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of his homeland.

Vielen Dank für dieses großartige Interview! Sehr gute Moderation, angenehme Atmosphäre und vor allem eine unglaubliche Klarheit der Worte von Amos Oz. Ich war auch sehr froh, Oz' Worte im Originalton, also ohne Übersetzung ins Deutsche zu hören.

Requiescat in pace! In Erinnerung werden mir, von diesem guten Gespräch, besonders zwei Eigenschaften wider den Fanatismus bleiben: Humor (auch die Fähigkeit, über sich selbst lachen zu können) sowie Neugierde. Fast ein Vermächtnis...

.."Jemand kann sich vorstellen ein ganzes Volk zu töten, aber er kann sich nicht vorstellen ein kleines kind, kanz konkret zu töten, das krank zu Hause im Bett liegt" (22:27~22:44) Well, now the unimaginable has unfortunately happened. That was on October 7th.

Not a brain. Just a human. In a world where to be human means less and less it's original meaning. The world is empty and there's no replacement.

I stopped watching, when I realized Amos Oz did not actually answer Bossart's question at about 9:40. The reason that the new state was called "the State of Israel" (not just "Israel" as Bossart thinks) is because of the formal self-reference that exists to Jews in Hebrew. The descendants of Jacob in the Bible are in Hebrew referred to as "bnei Yisrael" (sons of Israel), though they are generations and centuries removed from the actual Jacob-Israel. The Land is referred to as "Eretz Yisrael" (the Land of Israel) and it is not identical to "Medinat Yisrael" (the State of Israel). Jews' formal way to call ourselves is "Am Yisrael" (the People Israel). So, calling the state "the State of Israel," which was to be the state of the Jews, was the only logical way to go about it.
