Hello, I didn't plan to contact Israeli organizations for the next LPD event but Google has pointed out to me that you have already noticed.
Now the interesting question is whether you are just following the US conversation about it or whether anyone is really interested in organizing an event in Israel. If so then let me know and we might have a more direct communication in the future... I cannot assess the chances but there might be an effect which would make starting this event in Israel easier than anywhere else. The LPD itself causes very little costs but as long as you are ignored by the (nationwide) media it should help a lot to have some money for advertising (which should also generate media attention for future events). I assume that the German embassy in Israel (in contrast to those elsewhere) has a budget for supporting German activities which make a good impression. Probably none of the LPD visitors abroad notices or cares that the LPD was started in and is organized from Germany but if I ask the German state departement and you ask the German embassy for some financial support, who knows what happens... Maybe they would help in other ways, too (media contacts).
