Durant ce webinaire, nous évoquerons les questions suivantes: 
 

1. Is Morocco – whose constitution considers Judaism part of its identity – really the country of a new Jewish-Muslim golden age?
2. If so, why did most of Morocco’s 300,000 Jews leave after 1948?
3. Why do a significant proportion of the approximately 10% of Israeli Jews of Moroccan origin identify with the ultra-Orthodox Shas party?
4. Is Moroccan diplomacy, essential to the rapprochement between Israel and Egypt in 1977 and the Oslo Accords, less effective today ?
5. What role can Moroccan, Israeli and Palestinian civil society play ?
6. Jew and Arab, in Israel/Palestine, Morocco or France, what brings us together, what separates us ?

SPEAKERS :

• In Tangier: Jamal Amiar. Moroccan journalist, essayist and researcher, specialist in Judaism and Moroccan diplomacy in the Middle East. Author of “Israel, Morocco and Moroccan Jews” and “Morocco and the Palestinians”.
• In Tel Aviv: Daniel Bensimon. Born in Meknes, he emigrated to Israel at the age of 16. Labour MP from 2009 to 2013, and leader of the parliamentary group, he opposed his party’s participation in the government led by Benyamin Netanyahu. Highly committed to peace with the Palestinians and normalization with Morocco.
• In Jerusalem: Peggy Cidor. Born in Tunis, she emigrated to Israel in 1962. Specialist in the Orthodox Jewish and Palestinian communities in Jerusalem. A feminist activist for Jewish-Muslim dialogue, she will talk about the specificity of Israelis from the Maghreb and their relations with their countries of origin.
• In the Paris suburbs: Bouchera Azzouz. French, of Moroccan origin, she grew up in Bobigny in a family of 10 children. An essayist and film-maker, her work is mainly devoted to a feminine narrative of working-class neighborhoods. Her next film, “Rahma and Abraham”, focuses on the deep friendship in Morocco between her mother and Abraham Day, from a Jewish family that emigrated from Spain.
