  • Radicalization of the Settlers' Youth: Hebron As a Hub for Jewish Extremism
    © 2014, Global Media Journal -- Canadian Edition Volume 7, Issue 1, pp. 69-85 ISSN: 1918-5901 (English) -- ISSN: 1918-591X (Français) Radicalization of the Settlers’ Youth: Hebron as a Hub for Jewish Extremism Geneviève Boucher Boudreau University of Ottawa, Canada Abstract: The city of Hebron has been a hub for radicalization and terrorism throughout the modern history of Israel. This paper examines the past trends of radicalization and terrorism in Hebron and explains why it is still a present and rising ideology within the Jewish communities and organization such as the Hilltop Youth movement. The research first presents the transmission of social memory through memorials and symbolism of the Hebron hills area and then presents the impact of Meir Kahana’s movement. As observed, Hebron slowly grew and spread its population and philosophy to the then new settlement of Kiryat Arba. An exceptionally strong ideology of an extreme form of Judaism grew out of those two small towns. As analyzed—based on an exhaustive ethnographic fieldwork and bibliographic research—this form of fundamentalism and national-religious point of view gave birth to a new uprising of violence and radicalism amongst the settler youth organizations such as the Hilltop Youth movement. Keywords: Judaism; Radicalization; Settlers; Terrorism; West Bank Geneviève Boucher Boudreau 70 Résumé: Dès le début de l’histoire moderne de l’État d’Israël, les villes d’Hébron et Kiryat Arba sont devenues une plaque tournante pour la radicalisation et le terrorisme en Cisjordanie. Cette recherche examine cette tendance, explique pourquoi elle est toujours d’actualité ainsi qu’à la hausse au sein de ces communautés juives.

  • The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy
    Luke Howson University of Liverpool The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Luke Howson July 2014 Committee: Clive Jones, BA (Hons) MA, PhD Prof Jon Tonge, PhD 1 Luke Howson University of Liverpool © 2014 Luke Howson All Rights Reserved 2 Luke Howson University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of ultra-orthodox party Shas within the Israeli state as a means to explore wider themes and divisions in Israeli society. Without underestimating the significance of security and conflict within the structure of the Israeli state, in this thesis the Arab–Jewish relationship is viewed as just one important cleavage within the Israeli state. Instead of focusing on this single cleavage, this thesis explores the complex structure of cleavages at the heart of the Israeli political system. It introduces the concept of a ‘cleavage pyramid’, whereby divisions are of different saliency to different groups. At the top of the pyramid is division between Arabs and Jews, but one rung down from this are the intra-Jewish divisions, be they religious, ethnic or political in nature. In the case of Shas, the religious and ethnic elements are the most salient. The secular–religious divide is a key fault line in Israel and one in which ultra-orthodox parties like Shas are at the forefront. They and their politically secular counterparts form a key division in Israel, and an exploration of Shas is an insightful means of exploring this division further, its history and causes, and how these groups interact politically.

  • N1 ROLL and FUCKING in the STREETS! RIGHT ON! WHITE
    FREE NEWSPAPER OF WHITE PANTHER PARTY DOPE, ROCK 'n 1 ROLL 1510 HILL ST., A.A. AND FUCKING IN THE 769-2017 (L.S.D. phone, also) STREETS! RIGHT ON! White Panther News Service WHITE PANTHER NEWS SERVICE July 23, 1969 The pig power structure of this state has finally done what they have been trying to do for the past 3 years. They have put John Sinclair in jail. This morning in Recorder's Court, Judge Colombo sentenced John to 9g to 10 years in a state prison for the possession of less than 2 joints of marijuana. They think with this move, they will have crippled the American Liberation Movement in the medwest, and specifically the White Panther Party. This is where they have made their biggest mistake., just as the pig power structure made the mistake of putting Huey P. Newton in jail. When the California pigs, led by Mickey Mouse Reagan and Dpneld D'icfc Rafferty. put Huey in gail, tftey th'ought they wpuld be destroying the Black Panther Party, or at least reducing it to a level where it would no longer be functional. But their tactics backfired on them and today the Black Panther Party is the most respected of the revolutionary groups in Amerika, and also the most feared by the Pigs. The White Panther Party will grow and become stronger and more together than ever before. John Sinclair had a dream for this world, a dream where mankind could live together as brothers and not want for anything. A world where there was truly "freedom and justice for all," and out of this dream came the community known as Trans-tove, and out of Trans-Love came the White Panthers, and from the White Pantbeps- and all of the other revolutionary groups in this country, this dream will become reality, and the dreams of Jefferson, Thoreau, Mao, Che, Huey, and Eldridge will come to pass also.

  • Ethnicity and Education: Nation-Building, State-Formation, and the Construction of the Israeli Educational System
    ETHNICITY AND EDUCATION: NATION-BUILDING, STATE-FORMATION, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ISRAELI EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM GAL LEVY A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR PHD DEGREE THE LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON 2002 2 ABSTRACT The dissertation is about the ethnicisation of social relations in Israeli society and its reflection and manifestation in education. My main aim in this study is twofold: first, to offer a critical account of the development of ethnic relations in Israeli society and to examine the role ethnicity has played in the processes of nation-building and state-formation; and, second, to propose a history of the educational system in Israel which accounts for the role of education in creating and perpetuating ethnic identities. The first part of the dissertation consists of a critical reading of existing analyses of ethnicity in Israel. Its aim is to bring the state into the analysis of ethnic relations and demonstrate that such an approach is vital to the understanding of ethnic relations and identities. In the following part, I trace back the processes of nation-building and state-formation demonstrating how governments and major political actors became involved in the formation and re-production of ethnic boundaries within Israeli society. In these two parts, I am arguing against both functionalist and critical accounts of ethnicity in Israel, which tend to ‘essentialise’ ethnic categories and thus deny the political nature of ethnicity and its power as an organising basis for political action. In the third and major part of the dissertation, I seek to re-construct the history of the Israeli educational system within an understanding of ethnicity as a structural feature of state-society relations.

  • “No One Ever Asks What a Man's Role in the Revolution
    Chapter 13 “No One Ever Asks What a Man’s Role in the Revolution Is” Gender Politics and Leadership in the Black Panther Party, 1966–71 Tracye A. Matthews By the middle of the 1960s, young black people in the United States were growing weary of civil rights leaders telling them to turn the other cheek so that they could “overcome someday.”1 The inspiring elo- quence of Martin Luther King, Jr. had been challenged, even ridiculed, by the fiery message of Malcolm X. For black youth, who increasingly found themselves trapped in overcrowded northern ghettos, many of the old movement slogans and ideas—particularly nonviolence as a philosophy—were becoming obsolete.2 In spite of the gains of the southern black freedom movement, civil rights organizations and lead- ers, especially King, were slowly but surely becoming aware of grow- ing dissatisfaction among blacks with the limitations of hard-won leg- islation, especially its failure to ensure economic gains and tackle seem- ingly intractable forms of southern and northern racism. The call for “Black Power” became the order of the day. Beginning in 1964 and continuing each summer through 1968, dis- illusionment, frustration, and economic discrimination fueled urban rebellions in black communities across the country.3 It was within this context that the Black Panther Party for Self Defense (BPP) formed and staked its claim for leadership of the black masses. In October 1966, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale officially founded the Party in Oakland, California, one of many U.S. cities noted for its racist and repressive police force.

Master of Science (Speech Communication and Drama), August, 1974, 204 pp., bibliography, 89 titles. This thesis is concerned with the identification, description, analysis and evaluation of the rhetorical strategies and tactics of the Black Panther Party as a speci- fic social-change movement from 1966 to 1973. Evidence is presented to indicate that the rhetorical strategies and tac- tics of the Black Panther Party played a vital role in the movement's rise and decline and that their choice of a power orientation and a rhetoric of coercion brought about the decline of the movement. This study also indicates that rhetoric in a social movement is of crucial importance to the development of the movement's ideology, leadership, membership, and methods for effecting change.
