jüdischpalästinensisches

Jüdisch-palästinensisch is an adjective used in German-language discourse to describe phenomena, identities, or projects that engage with both Jewish and Palestinian perspectives. The term is commonly applied to cultural production, historical memory, and political dialogue that foreground cross-communal experiences or solidarities between Jewish and Palestinian communities.

In academic and journalistic writing, jüdisch-palästinensisch can refer to literature, film, art, or archival work that presents intersecting or dialogic narratives of Jews and Palestinians, as well as to interdisciplinary studies that analyze shared histories, displacement, or rights struggles. It is also used to describe individuals or movements that advocate for joint rights, coexistence, or mutual recognition across these communities, including peace-building initiatives, education projects, and collaborative activism.

The concept is not a fixed category; its meaning shifts with context. In scholarly usage it is often associated with intercultural, transnational, or post-national approaches that challenge exclusive national narratives and emphasize plural identities. The term can be controversial: some critics worry that it risks erasing power imbalances or essentializing identities, while supporters view it as a productive framework for dialogue, legitimacy, and solidarity.

In German-language writing, jüdisch-palästinensisch is typically hyphenated, though unhyphenated variants may appear in informal contexts. The term thus serves as a descriptor for cross-communal inquiry and collaboration that seeks to acknowledge and integrate both Jewish and Palestinian experiences within broader discussions of rights, memory, and justice.
