Judith Butler, who advocates against forced sexual orientations and racism and for universal ethics with her “theory of performative gender,” opposes the narrowing of Judaism to a nationalist understanding of Zionism as a woman, a Jew, and an intellectual. The radical pacifist is also committed to movements that use peaceful but sensational strategies to work toward a political solution that creates a basis for the equal coexistence of all peoples in the region, both Israelis and Palestinians.

Welcome: Cilly Kugelmann, Christoph F.E. Holzhey 
Discussion: Judith Butler and Micha Brumlik
