Personal experiences with antisemitism
In this important session, 44 participants gathered for an evening of dialogue and reflection
Israel and Palestine
On August 21st at Litteraturhuset in Oslo, journalist Bjørn Gabrielsen sat down with Israeli analyst Haviv Rettig Gur for a conversation that drew a packed audience and an extraordinary response online.
The discussion went far beyond headlines, exploring history, narratives, and the deeper forces shaping today’s Middle East. In a time when debates often collapse into slogans, the event stood out for its depth, nuance, and the ability of both speakers to engage with the audience on the most pressing issues of our time.
The livestream has since been shared widely on YouTube and other platforms, attracting remarkable feedback from viewers who praised the honesty and clarity of the conversation.
We’re grateful to everyone who joined us in person and online — and proud to see that this dialogue continues to resonate far beyond the room at Litteraturhuset.
