Basic knowledge of anti-Semitism. Part 2

The examination of a crisis region of great political, economic and cultural and religious historical significance points to the interdisciplinary dimension in civic education. The conflict in Palestine is a national dispute between the Arab and Jewish populations. The UN partition decision of November 29, 1947 puts this dispute into effect. A democratization of political systems is essential, with the "Arab Spring" raising hopes. Power struggles and internal social conflicts as well as the lack of civil society and democratic structures prevented reforms. Old power relations, oppression, civil wars and a collapse of states - Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen - with international involvement resulted in terror and waves of refugees with new power relations. Consequences of this development are felt by Western societies. The study aims to provide insight into the conditions, backgrounds and conflicts.
