biography

Hass is the only child of Hanna Lévy-Hass (1913–2001), b. in Sarajevo , and by Abraham Hass (1923–1997), b. in Suceava , Romania . The parents were Holocaust survivors. Her mother was deported as a Titopartisan in Yugoslavia by the German occupiers to Bergen-Belsen , where she wrote a diary. Her father survived the deportation to Transnistria . Father and mother emigrated to Israel in 1949, where Abraham Hass became a leading member of the Communist Party .

Amira Hass studied history at the University of Jerusalem , with a focus on National Socialism , and has worked as a correspondent for the Israeli daily Haaretz since 1989 . She first reported on the Romanian Revolution in 1989 and has been writing about the Palestinian territories since 1991, when the First Intifada came to an end .

Hass is the first Israeli journalist to live in the Palestinian Territories. In 1993 she moved to Gaza and in 1997 to Ramallah .

Since 2001 she has been writing weekly columns for the Italian weekly newspaper Internazionale. The columns from 2001 to 2005 were translated from English into German and published as a book in 2006 with in-depth introductions. Looking back, Hass sums up the events since the first Intifada in 1987 with a critical view of both the politics of the State of Israel and the Palestinian leadership as follows: “De facto, the State of Israel extended its sovereignty from the sea to the river [from the Mediterranean to the Jordan ] from [...] The Palestinian leadership, which had underestimated the impact of Israeli politics and was blinded by the personal benefits the Oslo years brought to them, neglected the creation of the "One State" and the de facto demographic segregation to fight civil disobedience with a planned strategy ”.

She referred to Israel's policy as " apartheid policy " because it was mainly Jews who had privileges.

In June 2001, Hass was found guilty of unjustifiably defaming the Jewish settler community in Hebron . She claimed in a newspaper article that they had violated the body of a Palestinian, which was proven to be false. The fine was 250,000 shekels , in addition to which she had to pay the procedural costs of 18,000 shekels.

In December 2008, Hass was provisionally arrested by the Israeli border control for staying in unauthorized areas without a permit. She had previously fled the Gaza Strip following death threats from Hamas officials .

She was provisionally arrested again on May 12, 2009. The police released her on condition that she would not enter the Gaza Strip within 30 days. The Israel Defense Forces imposed a lockdown in the area after soldier Gilad Shalit was kidnapped by Palestinians in 2006.

In April 2013, Hass wrote an article in Haaretz defending the Palestinians' stone throwing at Israelis as the "birthright and duty of everyone under foreign rule" and a " metaphor for resistance". This sparked a debate in which the mother of a child who was in a critical, life-threatening condition as a result of being thrown from a stone advised her to see her child in the intensive care unit . The Yesha Council and Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein and the police accused of inciting hatred for violence and laid out how much stone-throwing was responsible for serious injuries and deaths.

In September 2014, at the invitation of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation , Hass wanted to take part in an international conference “Alternatives to Neo-Liberal Development in the Occupied Palestinian Territories - Critical Perspectives” organized by the University of Bir Zait in the West Bank . However, she had to leave the campus because, as an Israeli Jew, she is not allowed to stay there due to a corresponding legal norm of the university.
