If this volume lives up to the promotion, namely that Jesus did not claim to be , and was not , the promised Messiah of Old Testament literature, it is heresy at its worst.

    Israeli Election Bulletin | January 15 On 23 December 2020 the Knesset was automatically dissolved after the national unity government failed to pass a 2020 state budget.

  • Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As Of, January 27, 2015) Elections • in Israel, Elections for the Knesset A
    Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As of, January 27, 2015) Elections In Israel, elections for the Knesset are held at least every four years. As is frequently the case, the outgoing government coalition collapsed due to disagreements between the parties. As a result, the Knesset fell significantly short of seeing out its full four year term. Knesset elections in Israel will now be held on March 17, 2015, slightly over two years since the last time that this occurred. The Basics of the Israeli Electoral System All Israeli citizens above the age of 18 and currently in the country are eligible to vote. Voters simply select one political party. Votes are tallied and each party is then basically awarded the same percentage of Knesset seats as the percentage of votes that it received. So a party that wins 10% of total votes, receives 10% of the seats in the Knesset (In other words, they would win 12, out of a total of 120 seats). To discourage small parties, the law was recently amended and now the votes of any party that does not win at least 3.25% of the total (probably around 130,000 votes) are completely discarded and that party will not receive any seats. (Until recently, the “electoral threshold,” as it is known, was only 2%). For the upcoming elections, by January 29, each party must submit a numbered list of its candidates, which cannot later be altered. So a party that receives 10 seats will send to the Knesset the top 10 people listed on its pre-submitted list.

  • Research Memo
    Research memo From Ben-Gurion to Netanyahu: The Evolution of Israel’s National Security Strategy By Jacob Nagel and Jonathan Schanzer May 13, 2019 Every White House has an offi cial National Security Strategy (NSS) thanks to the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986.1 Th e law mandates annual revisions to the NSS, but the accepted practice is for the White House to publish a new strategy every four years. Th e public nature of the strategy ensures that the document is full of latitudes.p Nonetheless, the requirement to produce the NSS ensures that each president’s national security team conducts a thorough review of U.S. foreign and defense policy. Th e resulting document represents, at least in principle, the authoritative view of the commander in chief. Israel, despite being a country that is under constant threat and thus in constant need of updated national security strategies, has offi cially released only one such document. David Ben-Gurion, the country’s fi rstrime p minister, wrote Israel’s fi rst and only offi cially approved national security document. It was the product of approximately seven weeks of work in 1953, when he took a leave of absence to write it in his small home in the southern desert kibbutz of Sde Boker. Since then, Israel has not published an offi cial, updated security concept. Th ere were at least eethr serious attempts, which this report details. None, however, were successful in becoming offi cial Israeli government documents. Israel is now on the cusp of producing a new national security strategy.

  • Text of Complaint to ABC
    Executive Council of Australian Jewry Text of complaint to ABC Radio National interview of Orly Noy and Sara Saleh on Monday 8 July 2019 at 7:06pm The interview can be listened to via: https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/drive/a- new-narrative-for-a-peaceful-resolution-to-the-israel-palesti/11289604 This was an interview that touched on the status and circumstances of Mizrahi (‘eastern’) Jews in Israel. The presenter was Jonathan Green, and the Executive Producer was Claudette Werden. The interviewees were Orly Noy, an Israeli born in Iran and Sara Saleh, an Australian citizen of Palestinian background. Ms Noy is presently on a tour of Australia promoting “an Arab and Middle Eastern alternative to Zionism”. The interview and the program could fairly be categorised as an “analysis of current events” for the purposes of the ABC’s Code of Practice 2019, and the accuracy standard therefore applies. The interview failed to meet that standard. The following is a non-exhaustive list of the factual errors that went unchallenged: 1. Ms Noy described Mizrachi Jews as “the Jewish communities who immigrated to Israel mainly in the early 1950s after the establishment of the State of Israel”. In fact most of the Jews who immigrated to Israel in the early 1950s were Holocaust survivors from Europe. Mizrachi Jews are Jews who were born in countries in the Middle East, including Israel. There is some debate about whether this includes Jews who came from North African countries such as Egypt, Morocco, Libya and Tunisia, but Ms Noy missed this nuance completely.

  • Coercive Disclosure: Israel's Weaponization Of
    COERCIVE DISCLOSURE: ISRAEL’S WEAPONIZATION OF INTELLIGENCE OFEK RIEMER AND DANIEL SOBELMAN AUGUST 30, 2019 COMMENTARY War on the Rocks Conventional wisdom holds that intelligence data is collected and safeguarded to gain an advantage on the battlefield if and when war breaks out. In recent years, however, Israel has come to increasingly rely on deliberate public disclosure of intelligence data as an instrument of influence and coercion. Such was the case, for instance, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented, during his annual speech at the United Nations General Assembly last September, photographs of what he claimed was a “secret atomic warehouse” in a Tehran suburb. Five months earlier, Netanyahu publicly revealed with great fanfare Iran’s nuclear archive ― thousands of documents, photos, and videos related to Iran’s secret nuclear program, stolen by Israeli Mossad agents from the Iranian capital in January 2018. These instances, which have received major international attention and may have provided extra motivation to the International Atomic Energy Agency to inspect the suspected nuclear site (and reportedly to uncover incriminating evidence), represent a notable shift in Israel’s basic approach to intelligence use. Evidence of this shift appeared in 2010, when the Israel Defense Forces Northern Command established a precedent by making public a detailed intelligence map specifying the military deployment of Hizballah in a village in southern Lebanon. The following year, Israeli military officials provided the Washington Post with a far more detailed map of Hizballah’s military deployment. Had a war broken out that day, many of the 950 Hizballah installations on that map would have been targeted by the Israeli Air Force.

Mathie Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion Lancaster University This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations November 2018 Declaration This thesis is the result of my own work and includes nothing, which is the outcome of the work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It has not been previously submitted, in part or whole, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed: Nicola S. Mathie Research Award This thesis is the outcome of Research Award Grant Number 1225917 from The Economic and Social Research Council. My appreciation will always be with The Economic and Social Research Council for funding this PhD. Abstract Jewish-Israeli settlements built over the State of Israel’s internationally-recognised territorial borders are sites of contestation. The focus of this thesis is upon conflicts and contestations which have developed between the State of Israel and some of its own subjects, Jewish settlers, over the evacuation of settlement-communities and structures, and other perceived threats to settlement. From 2008, a new form of violence has been enacted by individuals in the settler community. Self-declared as Price-Tag violence, the attacks take different forms. These include vandalising Palestinian properties and spraying provocative graffiti, and throwing Molotov cocktails at properties. Whilst the attacks are predominantly perpetrated upon Palestinian targets, the attacks are directed at the State of Israel. Price-Tag attacks have also occurred directly on Israeli targets, such as Israeli military vehicles.
