Program Dynamics of Images in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Nov French Research Center in Jerusalem – Department of Communication, Faculty of Social Sciences, Tel Aviv University With the support of the Herzog Institute for Media, Politics & Society, and the participation of the ADARR research group, Porter Institute, at Tel Aviv University THE DYNAMICS OF IMAGES IN THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT Monday November 7, at the French Research Center in Jerusalem, 3 Shimshon St., Bakaa (http://crfj.tmpds113.haisoft.net/pdf/plan_de_situation_du_CRFJ.pdf ) Tuesday November 8, at Tel Aviv University, Hall 004, Ground Floor, Naftali Building, entrance at gates 5 or 4 (http://www2.tau.ac.il/map/unimaple1.asp) Academic or not, much work about the media and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict focuses on media content (especially news), in a static manner: researchers count/analyze words, sentences, articles, pictures. And most of the time, their aim is ultimately, political: to demonstrate that this article/newspaper/journalist/country is pro or anti (Palestinian/Israeli). In this conference, our aim is to go beyond this static/political approach and to analyze the way media representations are moving all the time, are produced, discussed, appropriated within a complex network of actors, and often in unpredictable manners. We have invited historians, discourse analysis, sociologists but also journalists, film makers, bloggers, both people who analyze different media and people who work inside and around the media, in order to understand the part representations play before judging them.

  • Hamas Type of Organization
    Hamas Name: Hamas Type of Organization: Political religious social service provider terrorist violent Ideologies and Affiliations: Islamist jihadist Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated group pan-Islamist Qutbist Sunni Place of Origin: Gaza Strip Year of Origin: 1987 Founder(s): Ahmed Yassin, Mahmoud Zahar, Hassan Yousef, Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, Mohammed Hassan Shama’a, Abdul Fattah Hassan Dukhan, Ibrahim Fares Al-Yazouri, Salah Shahada (Founder of the Qassam Brigades), Issa Al-Nashar Places of Operation: Gaza Strip, West Bank, Israel, Qatar, Egypt, Lebanon, Iran Overview Also Known As: Harakat al-Muqawana al-Islamiya (Islamic Resistance Movement); Al-Tiar Al-Islami (The Islamic Stream); Al-Athja Al-Islami (The Islamic Trend)1 Executive Summary Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood [1] that emerged in the Gaza Strip in the late 1980s, during the first Palestinian intifada (uprising) against Israel. The group’s ideology blends Islamism and Palestinian nationalism and seeks the destruction of Israel and the creation of an Islamic state between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.Since 2017, Hamas claims to have severed its ties to the Brotherhood. The group also receives financial and military support from Iran. Qatar has also provided significant funding for the group. Hamas uses its provision of social services to build support amongst grassroots Palestinians, helping it to win the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections. However, the group’s engagement in politics and welfare has not tempered its commitment to terrorism. Hamas’s preferred methods include suicide bombings, rocket and mortar attacks, shootings, and kidnappings. Hamas as a whole or its armed faction have been labeled terrorist organizations by the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom, the European Union, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan.

  • Female Suicide Bombers: Dying for Equality?
    Female Suicide Bombers: Dying for Equality? Edited by Yoram Schweitzer The Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies (JCSS) JCSS was founded in 1977 at the initiative of Tel Aviv University. In 1983 the Center was named the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies – JCSS – in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Jaffee. The purpose of the Jaffee Center is, first, to conduct basic research that meets the highest academic standards on matters related to Israel’s national security as well as Middle East regional and international security affairs. The Center also aims to contribute to the public debate and governmental deliberation of issues that are – or should be – at the top of Israel’s national security agenda. The Jaffee Center seeks to address the strategic community in Israel and abroad, Israeli policymakers and opinion-makers, and the general public. The Center relates to the concept of strategy in its broadest meaning, namely the complex of processes involved in the identification, mobilization, and application of resources in peace and war, in order to solidify and strengthen national and international security.

  • Israel in Lebanon—Getting It Wrong: the 1982 Invasion, 2000 Withdrawal, and 2006 War
    Israel in Lebanon—Getting It Wrong: The 1982 Invasion, 2000 Withdrawal, and 2006 War Charles D. Freilich Charles (Chuck) D. Freilich was Israel’s deputy national security adviser (2000–2005), a senior analyst at the Ministry of Defense, policy advisor to a cabinet minister, and a delegate at the Israeli Mission to the United Nations. Now a senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center, his primary areas of expertise are US Middle East policy and Israeli national security policy. Dr. Freilich recently completed a book on Israeli national security decision making processes, entitled Zion’s Dilemmas: How Israel Makes National Security Policy and is now working on another on Israeli national security strategy. He teaches political science at Harvard, NYU and Tel Aviv Universities. Ever since the early 1970s, Lebanon has played a central role in the Arab–Israeli conflict, as the focus of ongoing low level hostilities, three major Israeli military operations (Litani 1978, Accountability 1993, and Grapes of Wrath 1996), two wars (the Lebanon War of 1982 and the Second Lebanon War of 2006), and a unilateral Israeli withdrawal in 2000. The outcomes of these events were far from what Israel’s decision makers had intended at the outset; Israel was repeatedly unable to achieve its objectives, or arguably only partially successful in doing so. Indeed, Israel’s difficulties in Lebanon culminated in what the Winograd Commission, the special commission established to investigate the failings of the 2006 war, called “the IDF’s almost mystical fear of the Lebanese quagmire.”1 The present study assesses the reasons for Israel’s repeated policy failures in Lebanon by comparing the decision making processes (DMPs) in the three most important cases above: the two wars and the unilateral withdrawal.

  • The Second Lebanon War As a Case Study
    The Cognitive Campaign: The Second Lebanon War as a Case Study Pnina Shuker The aim of this article is to examine the way that leaders try to shape their society’s cognitive perceptions during war, with the assumption that society will not agree to unconditionally support a protracted war involving high casualties. Recognizing the necessity of large- scale public support of war, decision makers manipulate local public opinion so that it will justify the war and recognize the importance of the war’s objectives and the ostensible achievements that war could provide. This article demonstrates how this was manifested during the Second Lebanon War—to the point of endangering the ground troops of the Israel Defense Forces for objectives that were purely psychological—and points out the negative repercussions of waging a war at the strategic level and on its outcomes. Keywords: Cognitive battles, public opinion, domestic legitimization, national resilience, decision making Introduction In recent years, military strategy researchers have reached a consensus that civil populations increasingly influence the objectives of war, the choice of fighting modes, and sometimes even the management of the fighting itself.1 A central component of this trend is the relationship of the public to war— Pnina Shuker is a PhD candidate in the political science department at Bar-Ilan University and a research associate at the Institute of National Security Studies. 1 Stuart A.
