  • Leviathan Jewish Journal Is an Open Medium Through Which Jewish Students and Their Allies May Freely Express Their Opinions
    Spring 2012 Vol. 39-3 LeviathanJewish Journal Jewish Journal Statement of Intent Leviathan Jewish Journal is an open medium through which Jewish students and their allies may freely express their opinions. We are commited to responsibly representing the views of each individual author. Every quarter we aim to publish a full and balanced spectrum of media exploring Jewish identity and social issues. The opinions presented in this journal do not always represent the collective opinion of Leviathan’s staff, the organized Jewish community, or the University of California. Editor-in-Chief Art Director Aaron Giannini Karin Gold Production Manager Publisher Karin Gold Shani Chabansky Managing Editor Faculty Sponsor Savyonne Steindler Bruce Thompson Business Manager Contributors Karina Garcia Hanna Broad Shelby Backman Web Manager Sophia Smith Oren Gotesman Andrew Dunnigan Gabi Kirk Additonal Staff Members Anisha Mauze David Lee Amrit Sidhu Ephraim Margolin Allison Carlisle Jennine Grasso Matthew Davis Cover Art Karin Gold Letter From the Editor After a hectic and controversial year, the Leviathan Staff thought it would be beneficial to revisit the subject of what it means to be Jewish in today’s world. This is in no way a simple question, as the diversity of the Jewish people speaks to the fluid- ity of our identity. Are we the culmination of our history, inheriting monotheism through our holy lineage? Or are we just fingerprints, products of our ever-changing environment, blips on the cosmic stage? Are we grounded in our past, or is it our obligation to live in the present and look towards the future? We did not decide on our cover image this quarter without much deliberation.

  • Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections
    Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections David Hirsh Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 6NW, UK The Working Papers Series is intended to initiate discussion, debate and discourse on a wide variety of issues as it pertains to the analysis of antisemitism, and to further the study of this subject matter. Please feel free to submit papers to the ISGAP working paper series. Contact the ISGAP Coordinator or the Editor of the Working Paper Series, Charles Asher Small. Working Paper Hirsh 2007 ISSN: 1940-610X © Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy ISGAP 165 East 56th Street, Second floor New York, NY 10022 United States Office Telephone: 212-230-1840 www.isgap.org ABSTRACT This paper aims to disentangle the difficult relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. On one side, antisemitism appears as a pressing contemporary problem, intimately connected to an intensification of hostility to Israel. Opposing accounts downplay the fact of antisemitism and tend to treat the charge as an instrumental attempt to de-legitimize criticism of Israel. I address the central relationship both conceptually and through a number of empirical case studies which lie in the disputed territory between criticism and demonization. The paper focuses on current debates in the British public sphere and in particular on the campaign to boycott Israeli academia. Sociologically the paper seeks to develop a cosmopolitan framework to confront the methodological nationalism of both Zionism and anti-Zionism. It does not assume that exaggerated hostility to Israel is caused by underlying antisemitism but it explores the possibility that antisemitism may be an effect even of some antiracist forms of anti- Zionism.

  • Contemporary Left Antisemitism
    “David Hirsh is one of our bravest and most thoughtful scholar-activ- ists. In this excellent book of contemporary history and political argu- ment, he makes an unanswerable case for anti-anti-Semitism.” —Anthony Julius, Professor of Law and the Arts, UCL, and author of Trials of the Diaspora (OUP, 2010) “For more than a decade, David Hirsh has campaigned courageously against the all-too-prevalent demonisation of Israel as the one national- ism in the world that must not only be criticised but ruled altogether illegitimate. This intellectual disgrace arouses not only his indignation but his commitment to gather evidence and to reason about it with care. What he asks of his readers is an equal commitment to plumb how it has happened that, in a world full of criminality and massacre, it is obsessed with the fundamental wrongheadedness of one and only national movement: Zionism.” —Todd Gitlin, Professor of Journalism and Sociology, Columbia University, USA “David Hirsh writes as a sociologist, but much of the material in his fascinating book will be of great interest to people in other disciplines as well, including political philosophers. Having participated in quite a few of the events and debates which he recounts, Hirsh has done a commendable service by deftly highlighting an ugly vein of bigotry that disfigures some substantial portions of the political left in the UK and beyond.” —Matthew H. Kramer FBA, Professor of Legal & Political Philosophy, Cambridge University, UK “A fierce and brilliant rebuttal of one of the Left’s most pertinacious obsessions. What makes David Hirsh the perfect analyst of this disorder is his first-hand knowledge of the ideologies and dogmata that sustain it.” —Howard Jacobson, Novelist and Visiting Professor at New College of Humanities, London, UK “David Hirsh’s new book Contemporary Left Anti-Semitism is an impor- tant contribution to the literature on the longest hatred.

  • The Role of Religious Considerations in the Discussion of Women's Combat Service—The Case Of
    religions Article The Pink Tank in the Room: The Role of Religious Considerations in the Discussion of Women’s Combat Service—The Case of the Israel Defense Forces Elisheva Rosman Department of Political Studies, Bar Ilan University, Ramat Gan 5290002, Israel; [email protected] Received: 5 October 2020; Accepted: 21 October 2020; Published: 27 October 2020 Abstract: Women serve in diverse roles in the 21st century militaries of the world. They are no longer banned from combat. The presence of women on the battlefield has raised religious arguments and considerations. What role do religious arguments play in the discussion regarding women’s military service? Using media, internal publications, as well as academic articles, the current paper examined this question in the context of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF): a conscription-based military that conscripts both men and women, religious and secular, for both combat and noncombat postings. Using the case of the pilot program in the IDF attempting to integrate women in the Israeli tank corps, as well as gauging the way religious men view this change, the paper argues that religious considerations serve the same purpose as functional considerations and can be amplified or lessened, as needed. Keywords: military; IDF; female soldiers; religion and the military; religious considerations; religious women’s conscription In November 2016, the issue of integrating women in the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) tank corps began to be discussed. The Israeli national religious caricaturist Yossi Shachar published a caricature of a large pink tank, labeled “feminism”, threatening a small tank with a frightened solider inside it, labeled “the IDF” (Shachar 2016).

  • 1 Reading Abdul Fattah Al-Sharif, Reading Elor Azaria: Anti-Mizrahi
    Reading Abdul Fattah al-Sharif, Reading Elor Azaria: anti-Mizrahi racism in the moral economy of Zionist settler colonial violence Introduction On the morning of 24th March 2016 in Hebron, Elor Azaria, a nineteen-year-old Israeli sergeant in the Kfir infantry brigade, raised his rifle and shot Abdel Fattah al-Sharif, a Palestinian, in the head.1 At the time Al-Sharif was lying wounded on the ground, surrounded by armed troops, having already been shot once after he stabbed and lightly injured an Israeli soldier. Another Palestinian assailant had also been shot dead. According to a leaked IDF report on the incident, prior to raising his rifle at al-Sharif, Azaria had told his company commander “he is a terrorist; he needs to die”.2 Later that day, the human rights group B’Tselem released a video3 of the incident which went viral on Israeli social media and attracted international attention, sparking a huge political controversy. The IDF announced an investigation, calling the incident “very grave” and declaring that “this is not the IDF, these are not the values of the IDF and these are not the values of the Jewish people.” 4 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon both condemned the shooting. 5 The military investigation swiftly led to an indictment and trial proceedings, the events of which were to dominate Israeli media and politics throughout 2016 and into 2017. Politicians and members of the Israeli public quickly rushed to Azaria’s defence. Although military censorship maintained his anonymity in official
