*Jerusalem – cradle of coexistence or city of conflict? History and politics of the peace process’ highest hurdle
 

*Tel Aviv turns 100 – history and life in Israel’s central metropolis

*Jews or Hebrews? - the struggle for Israel’s identity

*The five circles of danger – Even 62 years after its establishment Israel is still fighting for mere survival. Besides problems faced by many countries in the world, like desertification in an age of climate change or integration of a widely varied immigrant society, Israel has to contend with unique challenges no other state in the world had to face.

*Who rules the Holy land? - An analysis of the forces at work inside and outside of Israel and Palestine.
 

*Dollars, Dhimmis and Development – Is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict really so important? No other conflict commands so much world attention as the 120 year old struggle between Zionists and the Arab world. But could it be that this conflict has been overrated, or maybe even abused? Based on the UN Arab Human Development reports, this lecture offers a look beyond the narrow confines of the Holy Land to examine the root causes of strife in this troubled region.

*Little Green men – who is Hamas really? History, politics and the modus operandi of a central actor in Middle East politics

*Hisbollah – UNIFIL in the lion’s den. How an organization hijacked a state to become a strategic threat.

The army in Israeli society – an common saying has it that Israel is an army with a state. It is a matter of fact that the IDF has played a central role in the establishment and development of the state and its identity. Today, it still commands major financial, economic, political and geographic resources. Nonetheless, in a country where change is the only constant, the role and status of the military is relentlessly changing together with Israel’s society and ideals in general
