Dorrit has taken the mention from the publicly available sources. Neither Nordjyske Venner af Israel nor MIFF Danmark can guarantee that a broadcast – or the mention of it or of what the broadcast is about! – is really worthwhile …. just that it will probably arouse interest.

DR2 at 13.20-13.45 – Gaza property boom.

Gaza is hit by one of the world’s most unlikely boom in the real estate market. There are three things that apply to the housing market in the war-torn country: location, location, location, which here means an apartment in areas that have not been hit by bombs and missiles – and of course near a good school and good shopping opportunities.

DR2 at 22.00-22.30 – Jew (broadcast 2 of 3).

Should you be afraid because you have a Jewish background in Denmark in 2018? Sanne Cigale grew up having to hide her Jewish origins. Now she is putting up with her own fears and wants more Jews to stand up. She meets, among others, Yael, who is proud of her Jewish culture, but keeps it behind the four walls of the home, an imam who knows about Muslim anti-Semitism and professor of psychology Peter Elsass, to understand the situation of Danish Jews right now. Rebroadcast on Tuesday, December 11 at 9.35-10.05.

During the Israeli siege of Gaza in 2014, 507 children were killed and 3,598 wounded and even more traumatized. Here we meet a number of children. Some have or are still badly injured. Many have lost parents and siblings and even young children have suicide rates. Up to 400,000 children in Gaza are in desperate need of psychological help. And the violence will continue, because many of the children are thinking of revenge!

DRK at 22.30-23.20 – “Riddles of the Bible”, Sodom and Gomorrah.

In one of the most cruel stories of the Old Testament, God destroys the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because of the wickedness of the inhabitants. Today, most scholars doubt that cities existed, but Bible scholar and archaeologist Steven Collins, who has been searching for them for twenty years, is now convinced that he has at least found Sodom. See if he is right in “The Riddles of the Bible”. Rebroadcast on Thursday, December 13 at 17

In March 1939, German troops occupy Czechoslovakia. Poland secures the support of Britain and France, while Germany concludes a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union. When Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, World War II became a reality.

Sources and references – and a huge invitation!

North Jutland Friends of Israel – NVAI – was started in 1975 – i.a. in protest of the “Zionism is racism” resolution of the UN. NVAI is a very small association with very few resources, so the website can never be “super” (as we in all humility hope that miff.dk is or can be). But their members provide a great service to all of us – not least with this TV list – and they have a nice little page about TV and culture, which is constantly updated. And NVAI holds at least 9 exciting meetings a year.

Do you live in North Jutland? Or do you perhaps like the contribution of their members to all of us? Join North Jutland Friends of Israel; they will send a charge when they receive your subscription . And remember that it is always beneficial to be a member of at least one Israel-friendly organization in addition to MIFF ( join now if you are not )!
