Bio
Sarah Arnd Linder grew up in Denmark, Switzerland, France and Belgium. A graduate of the International School of Geneva (Ecolint), she spent a year studying History, Sociology and Writing at Eugene Lang College of the New School in New York in 2005 and subsequently moved to Israel in 2006. She received her Bachelor's degree in Government, Diplomacy and Strategy Cum Laude at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya (IDC) with majors in Conflict Resolution and International Affairs in 2010 and her Master's degree Magna Cum Laude in Middle Eastern history at Tel Aviv University in 2014. She swiftly developed an interest for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and peace advocacy from a gender perspective leading her to establish a Feminist Forum at the IDC in 2009 and Political is Personal in 2015.
Background & Skills
Sarah is the founder of Political is Personal (PiP), an initiative of in-depth interviews conducted with Israeli Jewish and Palestinian women, who share how the political situation has affected their lives.
At PiP Sarah interviews Israeli Jewish and Palestinian women from age 18 and above, from Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, More than 100 women have been interviewed so far.
In addition to interviewing and storytelling, Sarah has spoken about PiP, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israeli society, women's voices within the context of the conflict, her own personal experiences living in the region as well as her background as the daughter of a Danish diplomat. She has talked about these topics for various types of audiences, ranging from academic workshops, Danish “folk high schools,” Jewish congregations to feminist organizations and political parties - audiences located in Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Belgium, Israel, the US as well as online.
Moreover, in 2018 Sarah conducted a research with Dr. Ayelet Harel-Shalev and Dr. Shir Daphna-Tekoah about the everyday lives of women within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The material used for the research was drawn from the testimonies collected through PiP.
Furthermore, Sarah has in parallel provided counsel on topics, ranging from the political situation in Israel and Palestine, Israeli culture and society, to women’s role in peace and reconciliation advocacy in Israel and Palestine.
Her expertise in the abovementioned subjects came from her:
1. Academic background: International relations, Middle Eastern history, Islamic history, history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, political theory, sociology, writing, women's status in the Middle East, classical Arabic (fus'ha)
2. Professional background: Experience of working in different local peace and community NGOs and participating in various activities, projects and events held by local NGOs within the context of the conflict; translation, proofreading and QA in various languages
3. Personal experiences: Having lived in Israel for 17 years, Sarah has first-hand experience of what it means to live the conflict, and how the conflict affects life directly and indirectly, especially as a woman. While most of her experience and knowledge is centered around Israeli society due to her living in Israel, she has also visited the West Bank several times for professional purposes and for leisure and is therefore familiar with the "dynamics" in Palestine as well.
In October 2023, Sarah moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, where she currently is located.
Languages
Sarah speaks, reads and writes Danish, French, English and Hebrew fluently. She also understands and speaks some Swedish, Norwegian and German and has some understanding of fus'ha- and spoken Palestinian Arabic.

Testimonials
“Sarah Arnd Linder besøgte vores sognehus og etablerede hurtigt et trygt rum, hvorefter hun kunne bevæge sig frit mellem de store og svære temaer, når det gælder stemmerne i Israel og Palæstina. Man blev grebet af hendes fortælling om et land, som vi fra medierne kun kender en lille flig af, men med kvindernes stemmer åbnede Sarah Arnd Linder vores øjne op for et sted, hvor hverdag og undtagelsestilstand går hånd i hånd.”
“Sarah Arnd Lindler gav 23. April en et spændende indblik i livet Gaza såvel som i Israel. En spændende beretning om de mange problemstillinger, indbyrdes konfrontationer og dilemmaer der hersker i Israel. ”
“Sarah Arnd Linder delte sine oplevelser og erfaringer som dansk-israeler med vores interesserede medlemmer. Det var både en historie om hendes familie, samt et godt og personligt indblik i, hvordan det er at leve i Israel og den påvirkning konflikten har på hendes liv”
“Political is Personal
Således lød oveskriften på Sarah Arnd Linder foredrag, som ældre seniorer fra Bupl Midtsjælland havde indbudt til.
Et foredrag der handlede om 3 kvinders oplevelser i Israel og en palæstinensisk kvinde fra Vestbredden og Gaza striben.
Deres historier føltes gribende og afslørede også de spændinger der til stadighed er israelerne og palæstinenserne i mellem. Samt også de forventninger man har til integrationen, fastholdelse af ens kultur og ikke blive for israelsk, som kan give en form for utryghed hos unge mennesker, hvor hører jeg til? Er jeg Palæstinser
Eller Israeler, afhængig hvor du kommer fra, da Israel er omkranset af flere stater.
Vi fik også indblik på hvordan man i dagligdagen fik det til at fungere, selvom spændingerne føltes under dagligdagen, specielt når man skulle fra det ene område til det andet, da afstanden ikke var særlig lang.
Et meget interessant foredrag, der kunne give en noget at tænke over.
Kan kun anbefales.”
“Sarah’s telling of the experiences of women in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is eye-opening, hearing so many first-person accounts of the way this conflict affects the daily lifes of women leaves a huge impact on oneself and creates a desire to do more to help.”
“Sarah Arndt Linder, der selv har rødder i Danmark og i Israel, giver et meget personligt indblik i, hvad hun som ungt menneske tænker om staten Israel i dag og hvilke fremtids- udsigter, hun ser.”
“I Danmark er jeg født, der har jeg hjemme
Men helt så enkelt er det ikke for Sarah Arnd Linder, der er vokset op i Danmark, Schweiz, Frankrig og Belgien og nu bor og arbejder i Israel på 16. år.
Historien om at være datter af en israelsk far og en dansk mor, ansat i diplomatiet, fortæller Sarah, så man fanges og røres og får lyst til at høre mere. Sarah er en fin fortæller og krydrer sine erindringer med personlige fotos. Jeg kan anbefale Sarah og hendes fortælling om livet som diplomatbarn til det voksne publikum.”
“Sarah Linder presented to our Or Hadash (Jewish Humanistic group) on July 10, 2022. She has interviewed a number of Israeli women, both Jewish and Palestinian about how living under the current conflict has impacted their lives and families. Although Sarah grew up in Denmark, she has lived in Israel for the last 16 years. Out of her interest in Middle Eastern history and the current, long conflicts in Israel, she founded the group, Political is Personal. She focuses on the voices of women, voices often left out. Sarah does not push a political stand but attempts to highlight the personal stories of these women. Our group appreciated her perspective and a different way of understanding life in Israel under the current situation
”
“Tak for en meget spændende aften i Dansk Israelsk Forening med foredrag og debat d. 6. september 2022. Det var interessant at høre en personlig beretning om Sarahs egne oplevelser omkring den nuværende konflikt i Israel. Sarah er god til at holde perspektiv og fokus på emnet, som er hvordan hun oplever forskellige situationer. Sarah er god til at holde styr på debatten, også når den bliver vanskelig eller følelsesmæssig. Jeg kan sige på vegne af Dansk Israelsk Forening, at vi glæder os til en anden aften med Sarah, hvor vi kan høre om hendes adskillige besøg og interviews med palestinensere i Vestbredden.”
