For Jews, Israel is the only home they have. For many others, the Holy Land is synonymous with a permanent political and religious conflict that has not been resolved even 75 years after the state was founded. A conversation about democracy, religious identity and an unplanable future.

Isn't that a contradiction? 36:40 Is the importance of religion increasing in Israel? 49:18 Is there also positive news from Israel? ????

The country was to be Jewish and democratic. Jewish, because there should finally be a country in which Jews can live in safety. Democratic, because it wanted to be religiously and culturally open, including for Muslim and Christian Palestinians. Today, Israel is a high-tech nation that is in one of the greatest domestic political crises in its history. But Israel is also a militarily well-equipped occupying power that controls and segregates the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem and their populations using complex bureaucratic means. Together with Richard C. Schneider, the long-time head of the ARD office in Tel Aviv, and with the Swiss journalist and editor-in-chief of the Jewish weekly newspaper "tachles", Yves Kugelmann, Ahmad Milad Karimi talks about the question of whether there can be an interreligious solution for a state that is rooted in a mono-religious relationship, or whether religious dynamics are so toxically overloaded that people's real longing would be to wish for an Israel without religion.

That is our approach. We conduct social debates and profound conversations that entertain and inspire. Religion can be many things and it reaches deep into the middle of society. From Zen meditation to the abuse of power in the church, from football fan cults to the gender debate: we approach the broad topic of religion, faith and spirituality with critical distance. ____________________ Moderation: Olivia Röllin: / oliviaroellin Ahmad Milad Karimi: / donkarimi ____________________ Social Media Netiquette from SRF: ► https://www.srf.ch/social-netiquette #SRFCulture #SRFCultureSternstunden #SRFSternstunde #Religion #israel #conflicts #jews #SRF #Culture
