Czechoslovakia and Israel 1947-1949: the Era of Friendship
Habermann, Tomáš ; Míšková, Alena (advisor) ; Václavů, Lubor (referee)
As it is clear from the title, this thesis is focused on the development of international relations between Czechoslovakia and the nascent state of Israel in 1947-1949. For the Jews, the year 1947 represents a significant time period. The UN granted them the right to their own state in Palestine, which they should have shared with the Palestinian Arabs. Czechoslovakia figured among the states that prepared the draft of the United Nations Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) and took part in the creation and implementation of this draft in a significant way In addition to this help in the UN our government also began to support the Jewish requirements in other ways. In order to resist the invasion of the neighbouring Arab countries the Jews urgently needed weapons. These weapons were delivered from Czechoslovakia in 1947-1949 despite the arms embargo declared by the UN over this area. Total volume of the supplied military equipment is estimated at more than 1 milliard crowns. Since the Israelis needed weapons as soon as possible, a secret airlift between a Czechoslovak airport in Žatec and some airports in Israel was established from May to August 1948. This covert operation became a symbol of excellent mutual relations in the tracking period. Not only light weapons (infantry rifles and machine guns)...

Path of Czechoslovakia from Support of Zionism to Anti-Zionist Position (1947-1957)
Habermann, Tomáš ; Charvátová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Galandauer, Jan (referee) ; Pejčoch, Ivo (referee)
The theme of this thesis is attitude of the Communist Party and Czechoslovak totalitarian regime to Zionism in 1947-1957. The main aim of the archive research was to map gradual change of the communist regime from its position of the supporter of Zionism to that one of convinced anti-Zionism (nearly to anti-Semitism). Support of Zionism was primarily presented by help to the nascent state of Israel in 1947-1949. The evidence is given by the role of Czechoslovakia at meetings of the United Nations General Assembly in 1947 and its role as a member of United Nations Special Committee on Palestine. Furthermore, supplies of military equipment to Israel, diplomatic support, demographic support and training of Jewish brigade in Czechoslovak territory in 1948. Gradual change to anti-Zionist position at the end of 1940s and beginning of 1950s is illustrated with complicated negotiations on economic cooperation and with interfering of the regime in running of Jewish religious communities and Zionist organisations. During the first half of 1950s the support turned into downright opposition and lead in a diplomatic quarrel caused by the Slánský trial which had definitely anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist dimension. Utterly anti-Zionist position of the regime is also supported with further politically motivated trials -...

Historical Jesus and the rise of Christianity
Habermann, Tomáš ; Matějů, Martin (referee) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor)
Nejprve byla víra pravděpodobně formována Ježíšovými následovníky, kteří po duchovním utrpení, které jim způsobil kříž, vystoupili s novou nadějí. Byli to konkrétní lidé kteří si nanejvýš ve své fantazii mysleli, že jednají z boží vůle, ale byl to jejich "sebeklam". Byla to opět jejich psychika, divoce vizionářsky přeoraná, která zrodila křesťanskou víru. A velmi podobně na tom byly i další osobnosti - Štěpán, který se dostal do sporu s židovskou obcí a který byl ukamenován a především Pavel, pravděpodobně také velký extatik a vizionář, který má rozhodující podíl na vzniku křesťanství. Nechci zde nyní předkládat obsah své diplomové práce v duchu rešerše. Chci jen, aby si čtenář opravdu vzal k srdci klíčové myšlenky této práce a aby mu některé poznatky utkvěly v paměti a to i přes to, že snad bylo položeno více otázek než bylo dáno odpovědí. Rád bych, aby bylo naprosto jasné, že křesťanství je lidský výtvor, že Ježíš je historickou osobností a že evangelia nejsou historickým záznamem skutečných událostí, ale že jsou výpovědí o rodící se a transformující se víře. To vše jsou v podstatě základní fakta, která jsou ale velmi zajímavá a přitažlivá. A právě přitažlivost základních vědomostí mne vedla k tomu, jak jsem práci pojal - jako uvedení do problematiky pro všechny, kdo o ní mají zájem, ale zároveň i jako...
