The Thirteen Principles
1. Medinat Weimar wishes to establish a Jewish state in Thuringia, Germany, with the city
of Weimar as its capital.
2. Medinat Weimar is a solution to overcome the present crises and heal Jewish trauma,
German guilt, East Mediterranean conflicts, East German troubles and many other problems
in the world.
3. Medinat Weimar will utilize the autonomy of art and its institutions, as well as use
the tools of political campaigning and activism to convince the citizens of Germany, the
European Union, the worlds Jewish communities and the international community to
support the founding of the state.
4. Medinat Weimar defines Jewish not through blood or ancestry but through similarity
in mind, culture, common history and unity of fate. Jews from European origin, Jews
from non-European origin, Palestinians Arabs (Muslim and Christian alike) and all other
parties affected by the activities of the state of Israel are considered to share a common
fate.
5. Medinat Weimar invites and encourages people from any background and nationally
to become active members of the movement and take part in forwarding the vision.
6. Medinat Weimar can play an important role in healing anti-Semitism, Schuldabwehrantisemitismus
(guilt-defensiveness anti-Semitism) problematic expressions of
Philosemitismus, both german and jewish self hatred and the ongoing conflict between
the Jewish, Arab and Muslim communities.
7. Medinat Weimar is not a replacement of the current state of Israel but a different
Jewish state. A state apprising to live up to the vision of being a “light to the nations”,
generating a cultural and spiritual renaissance as well as a peaceful home addressing the
failure of the Zionist claim to “normalize” the Jewish people and establish a safe haven.
8. Medinat Weimar believes peoples maintain not only the rights of selfdetermination
and self-definition, but self-redetermination and self-redefinition as well.
9. Medinat Weimar wants to transverse all ideological, cultural and religious trenches
within the Israeli as well as the German discourse.
