The compli- cated security situation requires great emotional strength and resilience on the part of Israeli citizens who cope with a complex day to day life and an extremely fragile economic situation - making it very difficult for many of us. However, as we all well know, the battle against cancer disease is an ongoing and re- lentless battle, and we continue the fight on several fronts simultaneously by: promoting research, prevention and early detection, improving treatment modalities and rehabilita- Pro.Eliezer Robinson Chairman, Israel tion of cancer patients and their families, and by promoting the rights of cancer patients Cancer Associaton and enhancing their quality of life. Former President of the International Union Against Cancer The Israel Cancer Association (ICA) continues and will continue to make a concerted effort (UICC) to promote the goals for which it has been established. We invest thousands of shekels in promoting medical research, building and renovating oncology wards in medical centers throughout the country, and innumerable efforts have been made in educational activities to increase awareness as to the importance of prevention and early detection. Over the past year, conferences and seminars were organized for professional staff, patients, their families, and for the general public. We have succeeded in achieving accomplishments in diverse cancer-related fields, and we have also endeavored with determination and perseverance to promote the inclusion of potentially life saving drugs Mr. Benny Gaon, within the health package of the State of Israel. ICA President Many new midication for the treatment of cancer have been included and they comprise a significant portion of the total cost of the health package, however we have a long way to go until all the new drugs and technologies are included in the health package. I would like to extend my thanks for your support for our activities. There is no doubt that by virtue of your assistance we can take pride in our endeavors. Through our mutual efforts, we may improve patients' quality of life in anticipation of a better future that will see the eradication of cancer diseases.

  • Subterranean Warfare: a New-Old Challenge
    Subterranean Warfare: A New-Old Challenge Yiftah S. Shapir and Gal Perel Subterranean warfare is not new in human history. Tunnels, which have been dug in all periods for various purposes, have usually been the weapon of the weak against the strong and used for concealment. The time required to dig tunnels means that they can be an important tool for local residents against an enemy army unfamiliar with the terrain. Tunnels used for concealment purposes (defensive tunnels) can be distinguished from tunnels used as a route for moving from one place to another. The latter include smuggling tunnels used to smuggle goods past borders (as in the Gaza Strip), escape routes from prisons or detention camps, offensive tunnels to move forces behind enemy lines, and booby-trapped tunnels planted with explosives !"#$%#!#&'%()*+,+-+#.%/)%-)*-+*% .#"%0'%1)&).23 Operation Protective Edge sharpened awareness of the strategic threat posed by subterranean warfare.

  • Mothers of Soldiers in Israeli Literature David Grossman’S to the End of the Land
    Mothers of Soldiers in Israeli Literature David Grossman’s To the End of the Land DANA OLMERT ABSTRACT This article addresses the national-political functions of mainstream Hebrew lit- erature, focusing on three questions: What are soldiers’ mothers in the canonical literature “allowed” to think, feel, and do, and what is considered transgressive? How has the presence of soldiers’ mothers in Israeli public life changed since the 1982 Lebanon War? At the center of the discussion is David Grossman’s novel To the End of the Land (2008). I argue that the author posits “the flight from bad tidings” as both a maternal strategy and the author’s psychopoetic strategy. This article examines the cultural and gendered significance of the analogy between the act of flight and the act of writing that Grossman advances in his epilogue. KEYWORDS mothers, soldiers, Hebrew literature, David Grossman srael’s 1982 war in Lebanon was the first to be perceived as a “war of choice” in I Israel, triggering a wave of protest as soon as units of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) crossed the border into Lebanon.1 Soldiers’ parents began to question the judgment of military leaders and to take a critical stance toward their sons’ military service. Although criticism of the militarization of Israeli society developed earlier during the 1970s and increased after the 1973 war, the 1982 war in Lebanon marked the first time that public criticism was expressed while fighting was going on. Pre- viously such criticism had emerged only after the end of hostilities.2 Only some years after the combatants’ mothers began speaking out about crucial national decisions did they become part of the literary fabric.

  • The National Left (First Draft) by Shmuel Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv
    The National Left (First Draft) by Shmu'el Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv Open Source Center OSC Summary: A self-published book by Israeli playwright Shmu'el Hasfari and political activist Eldad Yaniv entitled "The National Left (First Draft)" bemoans the death of Israel's political left. http://www.fas.org/irp/dni/osc/israel-left.pdf Statement by the Authors The contents of this publication are the responsibility of the authors, who also personally bore the modest printing costs. Any part of the material in this book may be photocopied and recorded. It is recommended that it should be kept in a data-storage system, transmitted, or recorded in any form or by any electronic, optical, mechanical means, or otherwise. Any form of commercial use of the material in this book is permitted without the explicit written permission of the authors. 1. The Left The Left died the day the Six-Day War ended. With the dawn of the Israeli empire, the Left's sun sank and the Small [pun on Smol, the Hebrew word for Left] was born. The Small is a mark of Cain, a disparaging term for a collaborator, a lover of Arabs, a hater of Israel, a Jew who turns against his own people, not a patriot. The Small-ists eat pork on Yom Kippur, gobble shrimps during the week, drink espresso whenever possible, and are homos, kapos, artsy-fartsy snobs, and what not. Until 1967, the Left actually managed some impressive deeds -- it took control of the land, ploughed, sowed, harvested, founded the state, built the army, built its industry from scratch, fought Arabs, settled the land, built the nuclear reactor, brought millions of Jews here and absorbed them, and set up kibbutzim, moshavim, and agriculture.
