Education for All and for Each and Every One in the Israeli Education System, Jerusalem: The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. | iii | The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities was founded in 1959. Its membership currently comprises close to 100 top Israeli scientists and scholars. The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities Law, 1961, declares that its principal objectives and tasks are to foster and promote scientific activity; to advise the Government on research activities and scientific planning of national importance; to maintain ties with foreign academies of science; to represent Israeli science at international institutes and conferences; and, to publish articles that can further science. The Initiative for Applied Education Research (the Initiative) places up-to- date, scientific, critically-appraised knowledge and information at the disposal of decision-makers in the field of education. This kind of information is crucial for the intelligent formulation of policy and for optimal planning of interventions to improve educational achievements in Israel. The Initiative’s vision: Research knowledge is an essential component for planning public policy or comprehensive interventions. In the planning phase, critically-appraised research knowledge supports the formulation of policy whose chance of success is greater, and at a later point, enables rational public discourse to take place. The Initiative implements this vision in the field of education. The Initiative’s method of operation: The issues the Initiative addresses are those raised by decision-makers and it consults with senior Ministry of Education officials and other stakeholders. The Initiative’s steering committee, appointed by the president of the Israel Academy, is responsible for the Initiative’s work program and the peer-review processes of documents it creates. The Initiative operates by means of expert committees and by convening joint symposia for researchers, professionals in the field and decision-makers. It publishes a variety of reports and makes them available to the public. Members of expert committees carry out their work on a voluntary basis. History of the Initiative: The Initiative was established in late 2003 as a joint venture of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, the Ministry of Education, and the Rothschild Foundation (Yad Hanadiv). Since the beginning of 2010, the Initiative has been operating as a unit of the Israel Academy. In the summer of 2010, the Israeli Knesset amended the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities Law, regulating the Israel Academy’s advisory role vis-a-vis government ministries seeking its consulting services. The Initiative directs the consulting activities on education related issues which the Israel Academy provides to the government and various authorities. | iv | The Committee on “An Education System for All and for Each and Every One” The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, which was commissioned by the Ministry of Education, established an expert committee to address the challenges that stem from coping with differences among students in the education system. During the course of its work, the committee reviewed research, position papers, models and policies in Israel and from around the world with the objective of proposing tools for thinking and for informed decision-making with respect to the mass of issues related to differences between students, with the aim of having as many students as possible derive benefit and enjoy their education system studies. At the close of its deliberations, the committee compiled this report whose content and recommendations were agreed upon by all its members. The document presents summaries of theory and independent, up-to-date research knowledge, and directions for thinking and action. The report was subject to peer review and submitted to the Ministry of Education as well as to the public on the website of the Initiative for Applied Education Research: http://education.academy.ac.il. The scientific literature reviews, commissioned especially for the committee’s work, as well as other accompanying material can also be found on the Initiative’s website.

  • The Promotion of Solar Energy in the Israeli Desert Itay Fischhendler, Dror Boymel & Maxwell T Boykoff
    Environmental Communication, 2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17524032.2014.979214 How Competing Securitized Discourses over Land Appropriation Are Constructed: The Promotion of Solar Energy in the Israeli Desert Itay Fischhendler, Dror Boymel & Maxwell T Boykoff Although solar farms are often favorably received by the public due to their contribution to clean energy, they are not conflict-free. In various contexts, this land- intensive technology often competes with other land uses like agriculture, nature reserves, and army training. As a result of this competition, interest groups often seek political leverage in order to prioritize their spatial use. Framing their uses as existential is one possible way to capture the attention of decision-makers. Yet, this securitization process may create a framing contest whereby different actors use similar securitization language to promote different land uses. This study is the first attempt to trace how this framing contest of securitized discourses over land appropriation is constructed. It is based on the Israeli experience of promoting solar energy in the Negev Desert, an area conceived as available to solar development. Through an analysis of protocols of Israeli policy-makers’ meetings between 2002 and 2011, the study documents the ways in which players adopt securitized language concerning various land uses such as energy, food, ecology, and traditional (national) security. The study found that the use of securitized framing varies between uses, forums, actors, and sectors. Yet competition between securities discourses remained uneven as, in the Israeli context, many players find it difficult to challenge the hegemonic role of traditional (national) security. Downloaded by [University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries] 11:35 19 November 2014 Keywords: security; conflicts; energy; solar farms; land use Itay Fischhendler (Ph.D.) is a faculty member in the Department of Geography, Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

    430 MW combined cycle power plant National Infrastructure Plan #34 Environmental Impact Assessment Including response to requirements of completions, November 2012 "And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around…." Ezekiel 1:27 EIA for National Infrastructures Plan 34 – IPM Power Plant – November 2012 Conducted and Edited by AdaMa – Environmental and Geological Sciences About the project - National Infrastructure Plan No. 43 ("The plan") designates land and determines building instructions for the construction of a power plant with a capacity of about 430 MW. The power plant ("The plant") will be fuel burned by natural gas. Initiating the station and declaring it as a national infrastructure is the result of the Ministry of National Infrastructure and The Ministry of Environmental Protection Policy. According to the Ministry of Infrastructure's policy, 20% of production capacity in the country will be from power plants owned by private producers, which will be duly licensed by the state. According to the Ministry of Environment Policy, power plant will be located in areas designated for industry. The first version of the EIA was submitted in September 2011. The EIA submitted in January 2012 contains additions required by the environmental consultant of the National Infrastructure Committee. The current version is submitted after completing the conditions for deposit as provided by the permit of the environmental consultant of the National Infrastructure Committee. The proposed station is on a lot the size of approximately 60 "dunam" (unit for measuring land area, about 1/4 acre) in the Beer Tuvia industrial zone, tangent to road 40.

  • The London School of Economics and Political Science
    The London School of Economics and Political Science ‘Muddling Through’ Hasbara: Israeli Government Communications Policy, 1966 – 1975 Jonathan Cummings A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, December 2012 ‘In this and like communities, public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. Consequently, he who moulds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed. Abraham Lincoln ‘By persuading others, we convince ourselves’ Junius ii Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. iii Abstract This thesis is the history of an intense period of Israeli attempts to address the issue of how the state should communicate its national image, particularly on the international stage. Between 1966 and 1975, the Eshkol, Meir and Rabin governments invested far more time and energy in the management of Israel’s international image than the governments before or after.
