These include their images of such a state, the costs and benefits perceived if a Palestinian state were established, and the fears and desires involved, including the desire to keep contact with the Palestinian population in the various life domains. The article will attempt to analyze the extent to which the attitudes toward the establishment of a Palestinian state and its likely character derive from a rational calculus of expected costs and benefits ot one's own group.

  • Religion and Politics in Contemporary Society
    _____________________________________________________________________________________ Program International Conference Religion and Politics in Contemporary Society University of Haifa Wednesday, October 17 and Thursday, October 18, 2018 Venue: Ofer Obseravatory and Senat (Eshkol Tower) Contemporary societies all over the world are currently witnessing a reemergence of religious actors, claims and slogans into the political and social sphere. Although long proclaimed dead in the wake of secularization theory, religion and religious self-identification seem to be on the rise in contemporary societies again. Individualization, political and social conflict as much as socio- economic stratification and crises of political legitimation all over the globe have made religion attractive as a tool of collective and individual empowerment, but also as a source of othering and political and social exclusion. From a sociological perspective, religion can be seen as a mode of identification, a way of social organization and a way to frame political claims. As such, it might be a way of identifying oneself and others and of construing sameness and difference and a way of positioning oneself in relation to others. Understood as a mode of social organization, religion can also be seen as a way of framing, channeling and organizing social relations in societies, also across national borders. Thus, religion can acquire transnational meaning and become a powerful resource to construct global communities in the name of religion. In contemporary societies all over the world, religion and politics seem to coexist, coproduce each other and collide in different contexts. Further, the role of the state and its means of self-narration play a crucial role of creating a national identity, using religion and religious repertoires (narrative, symbols) to legitimate and justify state power and specific forms of inclusion and exclusion.

  • Hyphenated Identity Development of Arab and Jewish Teachers: Within the Conflict Ridden Multicultural Setting of the University of Haifa
    Creative Education 2012. Vol.3, Special Issue, 1063-1069 Published Online October 2012 in SciRes (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/ce) http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ce.2012.326160 Hyphenated Identity Development of Arab and Jewish Teachers: Within the Conflict Ridden Multicultural Setting of the University of Haifa Rachel Hertz Lazarowitz1, Abeer Farah2, Moran Yosef-Meitav3 1Faculty of Education, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel 2School of Social Work, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel 3City without Violence, Haifa, Israel Email: [email protected] Received July 9th, 2012; revised August 10th, 2012; accepted August 22nd, 2012 The theory of “hyphenated identity” (HI) argues that people living in complex political-social contexts construct HIs with various sub-identities. The University of Haifa (UH) is a meeting space and experience for people of different nationalities and religious backgrounds. Thus they live “on the hyphen”, between identities found in contrast vs. harmony. This study was initiated and carried out as part of a Cooperative Participatory Action Research (CPAR). Nineteen graduate students, all teachers in a multicultural society ridden with conflicts, were interviewed about their life stories, their family background and the develop- ment of their identity as shaping their personal and professional lives. At the end of the interview, they were asked to draw an Identity Drawing Map (IDM) and add an explanatory text. Finding indicated that many women transferred their complex identity in order to create a balanced and a challenge in their life; they became leaders in their communities and empower other women to follow them toward self actuali- zation.
