The escalation in the Middle East also shadows the coexistence of Israelis and Palestinians in Berlin. The German-Israeli art historian Katharina Galor says that there is still a solidarity between the two groups-albeit smaller. Instead of hatred, a differentiated view of the situation is needed.

Israelis and Palestinians have been living together in Berlin for many years and the latest events in the Middle East also throw their shadows on the coexistence of the two groups. The German-Israeli art historian Katharina Galor emphasizes that despite the escalation in the Middle East, there is still a certain solidarity between Israelis and Palestinians in Berlin, even if it has become smaller.

It is important to recognize that the living together of the two groups is not always free of conflict. There have been tensions and conflicts between different individuals or groups in Berlin in the past. A differentiated look at the situation instead of hatred and prejudices is necessary to promote peaceful coexistence.

Berlin is known for its diverse cultures and has a large community of Israelis and Palestinians. There are restaurants, shops and events that are operated by the two communities and make a contribution to the city's cultural diversity.

It is extremely important that the local authorities and organizations take measures to promote mutual understanding and respect. Intercultural dialogues, educational programs and events that emphasize similarities and reduce prejudices can help to achieve a harmonious coexistence.

However, it must also be emphasized that the political events in the Middle East should not be transferred directly to the coexistence of the Israelis and Palestinians in Berlin. It is important that the people in Berlin are not drawn into the conflict and that the city is still a place where different cultures can live peacefully.

according to a report by www.inforadio.de , Katharina Galor emphasizes that it is important not to simplify the situation and to promote the normality of living together in Berlin instead of fueling additional tensions.

For peaceful coexistence in Berlin, it is essential that Israelis and Palestinians continue to work together to reduce prejudices and to promote respect for each other. This is the only way to maintain and further develop the coexistence in a city that is proud of its diversity.
