Queer Israelis
in Berlin
Discussion, 27 Sep 2018, 19:30
Sexual orientation and left-wing political affiliation often play significant roles in decisions to leave Israel. Queer Israelis question nationalist and heteronormative expectations regarding army service, monogamy, and procreation. A general despair over the current political situation and the collapse of democracy further motivate their departures and leave many feeling that they don’t belong to the Israeli national collective, while Berlin is frequently celebrated as a cosmopolitan and unassuming city where LGTB people can live in peace. With Hila Amit, Ruth Preser, Yossi Bartal, and Gil Kremmer An ICI Event organized by Hila Amit and Claudia Peppel, in cooperation with the Jewish Museum Berlin
