Interview with Arye Sharuz Shalicar
PODCAST “NAHOST PULVERFASS” (Middle East Powder Keg)
April 2024 - Our trip to Israel
Conversation with IDF Spokesman Major Arye Shalicar on 16.04.2024 in Rosh HaAyin, Israel
Arye Shalicar is a major and military spokesman in reserve and was reactivated as spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces until the end of April following the Hamas terror attack on Israel in 2023. In this role, he has appeared before many important bodies and is well known to many in the German-speaking world through his podcast “Middle East Powder Keg”, in which he provides insight and explanations on current events in Israel. Since 2017, he has been head of the international relations department in the Israeli government. He has published his experiences in various books as well. When we are in Israel in April 2024, we very much want to meet him in person. The fact that he is recording a special episode of his podcast with us, is a huge surprise for us. CONTENTS: - What has October 7th done to our lives? - How did we experience the Iranian attack? Were we afraid? - Can we in Germany imagine how children in Israel grow up with the constant threat of bombardment? - World public opinion allows Israel to react only defensively - what would be appropriate after the Iranian attack? - Will Iran's attack have an impact on the war in Gaza? What will be the consequences for the hostages? - The price of regardful warfare. How could the hostages be freed?

OUR ISRAEL-EVENTS
When Hamas invades Israel on October 7, 2023, this also has an impact on our lives. On October 8, we set up an international prayer group with members from Europe, Norway, South Africa, the USA and Australia. From then on, we pray for Israel around the clock.
On October 27th, when the UN called for humanitarian aid for the Gaza Strip and a ceasefire from Israel without condemning the Hamas massacre and without demanding the release of the hostages, it was clear to us that history was repeating itself. As in 1938, much of the world is not ready to stand by Israel. On October 28th, I begin writing the article “The Second Chance” to highlight these parallels. It will be published by Israel Today on November 9th, the day of remembrance of the Night of the Broken Glass.
The exciting question (for us) was, how the churches would relate to Israel this time. When we realized on November 5th, that many were not mentioning Israel, let alone praying for God's people, I decided not only to write about Israel - as I had done up to that point - but also to go public and talk about it. On November 6th, I contact the SCM publishing group and on November 16th, our first Israel event takes place under the motto: “What is our position on Israel? Will we realize that this is our chance to show that we have learned from the mistakes of our ancestors?”. It is the birth of our (originally not planned) Israel-Events.
With this page of our website, we want to give you access to this area of our work and - as far as possible - take you along to our Israel events.
We will provide you with the relevant texts, pictures and, in the case of later events, audio and video recordings. So you can not only read about them, but also listen to them and get a visual impression.
Be part of our Israel events from afar! You are very welcome!
PS. As these events took place in German-speaking countries, the audio recordings are unfortunately only available in German.
THE SECOND CHANCE
WHAT IS OUR POSITION ON ISRAEL?
November 2023 (Crystal Night/Hamas Massacre)
Lecture on November 16 at 7:30 pm in Holzgerlingen with Brigitte B. Nussbächer:
The event itself is a small miracle: the content and supporting program are ready within just 10 days. The event is only advertised for 10 days. But the response is amazing, the interest is enormous. CONTENTS: - The escalation: Night of the broken glass 1938 vs. Black Shabbat 2023 - Surprise or logical escalation: Germany from 1933 vs. Israel from 1948 - Reactions of the world: Evian Conference 1938 vs. UN General Assembly October 2023 - The next phase: 1938: The Holocaust, the silence of the church, the silent heroes vs. 2023: New beginnings - Our chance TODAY Almost 200 people join the journey through the history of the last 85 years in Europe and Israel. They learn what the massacre of October 7, 2023 in Israel has in common with the Reich Pogrom Night of 1938 and recognize frightening parallels and possible alternatives in the world's reactions. And they are inspired by men and women who upheld values even in dark times. At the end, the guests take photos of Israeli hostages home with them to pray for them personally. The main question of the evening is: will we realize that this is our chance to show that we have learned from the mistakes of our ancestors? Will we be among those who make a difference? FEEDBACK FROM OUR GUESTS: - “an eye-opener” - “I've never understood it like this before” - “clear words at last” - “until now we only knew the individual particles, now we understand how everything is connected” - “we didn't even know what really happened on October 7” - “why doesn't something like this appear in the mainstream media”
