Limitations of Legal Justifications .............. 555 Conclusion ....................................... 558 INTRODUCTION This Article challenges the claim that law plays a significant role in legitimating1 the standing social and political order within the oppressed groups or classes in society.2 The claim rests on an assumption, occasionally explicit, that a dominant class could not rule, or at least could not rule as efficiently, without the consent of the dominated. In other words, a distribution of power that leaves the dominant group with less than complete control of society compels the resort to legality.' By the logic of this view, one should not 1. As used here, "legitimation" refers to "the attempt by those engaged in some realm of social activity to offer a normative justification for their actions." Richard L. Abel, Why Does the ABA Promulgate Ethical Rules?, 59 TEX. L. REV. 639, 686 (1981) (concluding that rules do not serve legitimating function if they are impossible to carry out). According to Professor Richard Abel, the party may offer the justification to those whom the policy will affect or to outside observers. Id. 2. There is a voluminous body of scholarship positing that law confers legitimacy on the state or political system. See, e.g., EUGENE D. GENOVESE, ROLL, JORDAN, ROLL 25-49 (1974) (arguing that dominant groups in society use law to cement their authority); ANTONIO GRAMSci, SELECTIONS FROM THE PRISON NOTEBOOKS OF ANTONIO GRAMSCI (1971) (theorizing that successful domination rests on legitimacy and consent of governed); Charles W. Gray, Whatever Happened to Politics? A Critiqueof StructuralistMarxist Accounts of State and Law, in MARXISM AND lAW 196, 196-207 (Piers Beirne & Richard Quinney eds., 1982) (concentrating on Marx's theory of law and its effect on society); 6 20TH CENTURY LEGAL PHILOSOPHY SERIES, MAX WEBER ON LAW IN ECONOMYAND SocIETY 334-37, 338-42 (Max Rheinstein ed., 1954) (studying impact of law and economics on society); ROBERTO M. UNGER, LAW IN MODERN SOcIETY 43-242 (1969) (finding that law is glue that holds society together); cf. Alan Hyde, The Concept of Legitimation in the Sociology of Law, 1983 WiS. L. REV. 379, 400-18 (questioning theoretical and empirical validity of Weberian model of legitimation through law). 3. See, e.g., GENOVESE, supra note 2, at 25 (suggesting that rulers of Western world maintain dominion over their subjects by representing their governance as embodying interests and objectives of dominated). In another variation, Unger suggests that the legal order in liberal societies is a sort of compromise, a "class stand-off," brought about by the incapacity of any one class to impose its hegemony over all the others. UNGER, supra note 2, at 69. HeinOnline -- 43 Am. U. L. Rev. 468 1993-1994 19941 LAND, LAW, AND LEGITIMACY IN ISRAEL expect to find a legalistic style of governance in societies characterized by extreme imbalances of power, wherein one group or class thoroughly dominates all others, and the support of the dominated is therefore inessential to the regime. Yet heavy reliance on law is characteristic of many colonial societies that are typified by precisely such extreme imbalances of power.4 The use of law by colonizers to execute and rationalize oppressive policies, notably the acquisition of native lands for European settlement, is poorly explained as an effort to gain the consent of thoroughly dominated indigenous populations.5 Rather, it is argued 4. "Colonialism" refers to European expansion into Asia, Africa, and the Americas that took place from the fifteenth through the twentieth centuries. Cf MARY E. TOWNSEND, EUROPEAN COLONIAL EXPANSION SINCE 1871, at 8-9 (1941) (defining modem colonialism as European expansion from mid-nineteenth century). Conquests of other peoples have by no means been limited to this era or to European powers. Both the size and the sweep of modem European colonialism, however, are unprecedented, doubtless because of the "unique alliance of the state and private enterprise which characterized the late modem period and distinguished it from its predecessors." Id. at 3-4. Although colonialism is a tremendously variable phenomenon, classical colonialism, if there is such a thing, involved domination of a non- European country by a European one, with political control often exercised from the European metropole. Beverly Gartrell, "Colonialism" and the Fourth World: Notes on Variations in Colonial Situations, 6 CULTURE 3, 3-4 (1986); Hans Kohn, Reflections on Colonialism, in THE IDEA OF COLONIALISM 4, 11 (Robert Strausz-Hup6 & Harry W. Hazard eds., 1958). The term "colonial society," on the other hand, denotes a society in which relatively sharp social distinctions persist between a settler population established via a colonial project and an indigenous population. Moshe Semyonov & Andrea Tyree, Community Segregation and the Costs of Ethnic Subordination, 59 SOC. FORCES 649, 649-50 (1981). These distinctions give rise to differential access to economic, political, military, cultural, and other tangible and intangible power resources, whether or not the society remains under the political control of a European metropole. The interaction between settler and indigenous populations tends to constitute a prominent social dynamic only when the indigenous population maintains a numerical "critical mass"; thus, to constitute a "colonial society," the indigenous population should represent some minimum of the society's total population. Other scholars, in describing "multi-ethnic societies," have fixed upon the necessarily arbitrary figure of ten percent, and that figure will be adopted here.

  • 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.

  • Geographers Mobilize: a Network-Diffusion Analysis of the Campaign to Free Ghazi-Walid Falah1
    Geographers Mobilize: A Network-Diffusion Analysis of the Campaign to Free Ghazi-Walid Falah1 Mark de Socio Department of Geography & Geosciences, Salisbury University, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In summer 2006, Professor Ghazi-Walid Falah, a political geographer and editor- in-chief of the journal Arab World Geographer, was arrested by Israeli police after taking photographs of rural landscapes in Northern Galilee. Falah was subsequently held for 23 days, incommunicado, and without charge. An international campaign to “Free Ghazi” was launched by his family, friends and colleagues, largely over academic listservs and other media. Utilizing social network analysis and contextualizing the campaign within structures of telecommunications technologies, the purpose of this paper is to assess the various factors that contributed to the campaign’s coalescence, its rapid development, and its global reach. Keywords: social networks, scale, political geography, Internet Introduction Kirby (1992:236) defines geography as what “geographers choose to do”. Ghazi-Walid Falah (2007:588) demonstrates that what geographers choose to do can, at times, be dangerous. Falah, for example, chose to research and write on the political geography of Palestine and Israel, beginning with his dissertation 25 years ago (Falah 1983). According to Falah, this career program of research runs counter to the hegemonic discourse—historical, political, or otherwise—concerning the geographies of Palestine and Israel (see, for example, Falah 1991, 1994, 1996, 2003). Consequently, Falah found himself under suspicion by the Israeli government as both a Palestinian and as a “rogue” scholar of political geography writing of the contested territories of Palestine/Israel within the broad framework of critical geopolitics (Morrissey 2006).

  • Talking Back in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Rational Dialogue Or Emotional Shouting Match?1
    conflict & communication online, Vol. 10, No. 2, 2011 www.cco.regener-online.de ISSN 1618-0747 Elie Friedman Talking back in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Rational dialogue or emotional shouting match?1 Kurzfassung: Das Internet erleichtert eine breite globale Konversation unter Bürgern und ermöglicht einen interkulturellen Dialog über eine Vielzahl von gesellschaftlich relevanten Fragen. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Beschaffenheit von „Talkback“-Diskursen auf Nachrichten-Web-Seiten im Rahmen des palästinensisch-israelischen Konflikts. Die Ergebnisse der Studie zeigen, dass viele der Antwort- schreiber sich einer kritisch-rationalen Diskussion über grundlegende Fragen des Konflikts verpflichten, jedoch oft auch rationale Argu- mente vorbringen, um entgegenstehende Meinungen zu delegitimieren. Der „Talkback“-Dialog ist durch eine engagierte Diskussion gekennzeichnet, wobei jedoch die Mehrheit der Antwortschreiber eher in Dialog mit dem jeweiligen Artikel treten als einen Dialog mit den anderen Antwortschreibern zu führen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der „Talkback“-Diskurs eine lebhafte, vielseitige und umfassende Form eines öffentlichen Raumes konstituiert, der den Austausch heterogener Meinungen ermöglicht, jedoch die Selbstdarstellung gegenüber der Auseinandersetzung mit den anderen bevorzugt. Abstract: The Internet has facilitated a broad global conversation among citizens, enabling cross-cultural dialogue on a range of issues, in particular through Web 2.0 tools. This study analyzes the nature of the talkback discourse on news web sites within the framework of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The study's findings demonstrated that several talkback writers engage in rational-critical discussion of is- sues essential to the conflict, although they often use rational arguments to de-legitimize conflicting opinions. Talkback dialogue is char- acterized by engaged discussion, though the majority of respondents engage in dialogue with the article, rather than with other talkback writers.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.
