ISSN: 1081-1680 print / 1532-6926 online DOI: 10.1080/10811680903238043 “EYES HAVE THEY,BUT THEY SEE NOT”: ISRAELI ELECTION LAWS,FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, AND THE NEED FOR TRANSPARENT SPEECH AMIT M. SCHEJTER∗ MORAN YEMINI∗∗ A critical-historical description and analysis of the development of the laws regulating electioneering in broadcasting and their interpreta- tion by policymakers and courts over a period of nearly fifty years in Israel demonstrates how the conceptual basis for the regulation scheme originally offered by the law as early as 1959 has been turned on its head. The result is a chaotic system in which the rules of, and the bor- derline between, the permissible and the forbidden are unclear. While the forbidden is perceived as dead letter, the permitted seems at times to be unrestricted, perhaps because the theory behind it makes it un- enforceable. At the same time, there is growing skepticism about the efficacy of the electoral campaigning system as a whole, fostering ex- treme proposals for reform including proposals to abolish regulation. This study offers an alternative approach, based on a different theory of speech, a theory of “transparent speech.” Downloaded By: [Schejter, Amit] At: 14:56 10 October 2009 Israelis have gone to the national polls nineteen times1 in sixty years of existence and have seen the establishment of thirty-two cabinets headed by twelve prime ministers.

  • The Ombudsman Annual Report 31 2004
    STATE OF ISRAEL THE OMBUDSMAN ANNUAL REPORT 31 for the year 2004 Selected Chapters OFFICE OF THE STATE COMPTROLLER AND OMBUDSMAN Catalogue No. 05-301 ISSN 0792-870X A version of this report may be found on the website of the Office of the State Comptroller: www.mevaker.gov.il Typesetting: Onit Computer Services Ltd. The Thirty-First Report of the Ombudsman, selected parts of which appear in this report, deals with decisions reached by my predecessor, Justice Eliezer Goldberg. This report was placed on the table of the Knesset in March 2005 and I was appointed State Comptroller and Ombudsman in June 2005. The Office of the Ombudsman investigates annually some 7,000 complaints received from every stratum of society. This phenomenon attests to the confidence placed in the Ombudsman by the general public. My aim as Ombudsman is to increase awareness in the existence of the Ombudsman institution, particularly among the weaker classes of society – new immigrants, distressed classes, minorities and the elderly. The Ombudsman is very accessible. Any person can file a complaint with the Ombudsman; a complaint may be written in any language, not necessarily in Hebrew. It is also possible to file a complaint via the internet or through one of the branch offices in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa, and in the future also in Nazareth and Beer Sheva. The service provided by the Ombudsman is free of charge. The independence of the Ombudsman institution and its meticulousness in treating the individual's matter as its foremost concern are designed to rectify injustices caused to the complainant and to improve the functioning of public administration in its relations with those requiring its services.

The first visit, on 30 August 1984, was to the Arab town of Umm El Fahm. When Kahane and his supporters attempted to enter the town, the a priori position of the police was to allow them to carry out their intention. At some stage, however, the police realized that a situation of substantive danger to the public peace was being created.1 So, fearing disturbances and bloodshed, the police did not allow Kahane to enter the town. They stopped the Kach group two miles from Umm El Fahm. In this incident and in others, the police were there to intervene and to prevent bloodshed; however, their efforts to maintain public peace were not always successful.

  • Fall of Grace: Nora Aunor As Cinema 46
    Flores / Fall of Grace: Nora Aunor as Cinema 46 FALL OF GRACE: NORA AUNOR AS CINEMA Patrick D. Flores University of the Philippines [email protected] Abstract Nora Aunor is enlisted in this speculation as a medium in the register of both the cinema and the transmission of spirit. The key trajectory is the oft-cited film Himala, which opens up a conceptual space for mediumship, the technology of the actress, her biography and corpus of art, and the devotion to her person. The essay constellates a set of texts including the sculpture in honor of Elsa, the main character of Himala, the film Silip, and the life of a fan. Nora, the performative vessel of Elsa, becomes fundamentally cinematic. It is through her that Elsa is fleshed out as a miracle worker of vexing potency. Nora is herself a testament to the transformative potential of the technology of the cinema. Keywords devotion, film, image, medium, spirit, voice About the Author Patrick D. Flores is Professor of Art Studies at the Department of Art Studies at the University of the Philippines, which he chaired from 1997 to 2003, and Curator of the Vargas Museum in Manila. He is Adjunct Curator at the National Art Gallery, Singapore. He was one of the curators of Under Construction: New Dimensions in Asian Art in 2000 and the Gwangju Biennale (Position Papers) in 2008. He was a Visiting Fellow at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. in 1999 and an Asian Public Intellectuals Fellow in 2004. Among his publications are Painting History: Revisions in Philippine Colonial Art (1999); Remarkable Collection: Art, History, and the National Museum (2006); and Past Peripheral: Curation in Southeast Asia (2008).

    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Damir Trnjanin CIVILNO-VOJAŠKI ODNOSI V IZRAELU Diplomsko delo Ljubljana 2007 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Damir Trnjanin Mentorica: doc. dr. Maja Garb CIVILNO-VOJAŠKI ODNOSI V IZRAELU Diplomsko delo Ljubljana 2007 CIVILNO-VOJAŠKI ODNOSI V IZRAELU V diplomskem delu so predstavljeni civilno-vojaški odnosi v Izraelu. Nenehno izpolnjevanje funkcionalnega imperativa je omogočilo Izraelskim obrambnim silam zelo močan vpliv na vseh področjih družbenega življenja. Po drugi strani pa so po letu 1967 (okupacija palestinskih ozemelj), nastopili številni izzivi za Izraelske obrambne sile: vloga okupacijske sile, vojaško oporečništvo, krepitev ultra-ortodoksnih judovskih skupin, dve intifadi, različni pritiski mednarodne skupnosti za sklenitev miru z Palestinci, »policizacija« vojske idr. izzivi. Diplomsko delo verificira »Herzlovo« vizijo civilno-vojaških odnosov ter odnosov med rabinatom in družbo. To je vizija učinkovitega civilnega nadzora nad Izraelskimi obrambnimi silami in stroge ločenosti med državo in rabinatom. Za verifikacijo postavljenih hipotez je bila uporabljena predvsem deskriptivna raziskovalna metoda. V diplomskem delu so za potrebe te verifikacije analizirani naslednji tematski sklopi: nacionalno-varnostni sistem Izraela, strukturne spremembe Izraelskih obrambnih sil, poseganje izraelskega vojaštva v politiko in vloga religije. Največji izziv učinkovitemu civilnemu nadzoru nad Izraelskimi obrambnimi silami predstavljata (tradicionalna) vpletenost izraelskega vojaštva v sprejemanje političnih odločitev in rabinat oz. religija kot nova kateogorija, ki ima vse bolj pomembno vlogo pri (pre)oblikovanju civilno-vojaških odnosov.
