  • Black-Jewish Coalition” Unraveled: Where Does Israel Fit?
    The “Black-Jewish Coalition” Unraveled: Where Does Israel Fit? A Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Hornstein Jewish Professional Leadership Program Professors Ellen Smith and Jonathan Krasner Ph.D., Advisors In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Leah Robbins May 2020 Copyright by Leah Robbins 2020 Acknowledgements This thesis was made possible by the generous and thoughtful guidance of my two advisors, Professors Ellen Smith and Jonathan Krasner. Their content expertise, ongoing encouragement, and loving pushback were invaluable to the work. This research topic is complex for the Jewish community and often wrought with pain. My advisors never once questioned my intentions, my integrity as a researcher, or my clear and undeniable commitment to the Jewish people of the past, present, and future. I do not take for granted this gift of trust, which bolstered the work I’m so proud to share. I am also grateful to the entire Hornstein community for making room for me to show up in my fullness, and for saying “yes” to authentically wrestle with my ideas along the way. It’s been a great privilege to stretch and grow alongside you, and I look forward to continuing to shape one another in the years to come. iii ABSTRACT The “Black-Jewish Coalition” Unraveled: Where Does Israel Fit? A thesis presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Leah Robbins Fascination with the famed “Black-Jewish coalition” in the United States, whether real or imaginary, is hardly a new phenomenon of academic interest.

  • Anti-Muslim Narratives Within the US Media, Eleanor Pugh, 2016
    CERS Working Paper 2016 Eleanor Pugh Anti-Muslim narratives within the US Media Historical background of anti-Muslim sentiments in the US In January 2016, the Pew Research Centre estimated that there were 3.3 million Muslims living in the US, out of a total of 322 million people.1 The study also estimated that the percentage of Muslims in the US will double by 2050.2 However, alongside such steady growth, attitudes towards Muslims have been deteriorating further in the US over the last fifteen years. Since the turn of the millennium, notably 9/11, anti-Muslim sentiments rose significantly, and Muslims became the key ‘other’ in Western societies around the world.3 The wars in Afghanistan, in 2001, and Iraq, in 2003, and the resulting American deaths, can also be linked to the rise in anti-Muslim sentiments over the course of the first few years of the millennium. By 2008, the multi-cultural potential, and hope for a national acceptance of Muslims, in America looked optimistic, with the appointment of Barack Obama, a half- Muslim African American, as President. Yet the rise of Islamic State in the Middle East, their persistent presence on social media and their frequent attacks in Western countries has arguably destroyed the potential of multi-cultural peace in America which Obama’s election originally gave hope for. While the time period, since the turn of the millennium, is important to acknowledge due to the terrorist activity in these years, the unique geographical position of the US must also be discussed. Compared to Europe and the Middle East, the Atlantic Ocean ensures that America is physically disconnected from the ‘migrant crisis’ and is situated geographically further from the central terrorist threat.

  • Teaching Israel/Palestine Issues at Harvard: Interview with Duncan Kennedy
    Teaching Israel/Palestine Issues at Harvard: Interview with Duncan Kennedy Whosam El-Coolaq Hello world, we have with us today Professor Duncan Kennedy. Professor Kennedy has been a professor here at Harvard Law School since 1971, and is considered one of the founders of the Critical Legal Studies movement. He has taught a course here on Israel/ Palestine legal issues and is currently teaching a course titled "The Politics of Private Law in Historical and Comparative Perspective." Thank you for joining us today, Professor. It’s great to be here—really a pleasure to do this. Our time is short so I’d like to jump right into it. You’ve taught a course here at Harvard Law School Israel/Palestine legal issues. Could you describe the scope of that course, and what you had hoped students would take away from it? The basic idea is that law students can get a surprisingly larger, deeper understanding of Israel/Palestine conflicts by looking at their legalities. The way the conflicts are resolved or not is not determined only by power and violence. Legality plays a role. The course has about equal attention paid to the situation of the Palestinian minority inside Israel, and the situation of the populations of the West Bank and Gaza. Rather than describing the coverage of the course, what I’d like to do is to say something about the main lessons that I myself have learned by preparing to teach it and then teaching it to students who initially often knew more about the issues than I did.

  • Israel/Palestine Diplomatic History and US Engagement
    Global Ministries—UCC & Disciples Middle East and Europe Israel/Palestine Recommended Reading Diplomatic History and US Engagement Blind Spot , by Khaled el-Gindy—This book traces US diplomatic engagement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the 20 th and into the 21 st century, beginning with the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and ending with President Trump’s first 2 years in office. The main thesis el-Gindy asserts is that the US “blind spot” is Israeli power and Palestinian politics, i.e. that the US has done nothing to address the imbalance in power of the two parties (and has added to Israel’s) while focusing on Palestinian governance reform as a condition. This approach has led nowhere. This is a very good diplomatic historical analysis. Paradigm Lost , by Ian Lustick—According to Lustick, the conflict arose from two Israeli refusals: that of the Palestinian right of return (after 1948) and the formation of a Palestinian state (after 1967). In this historical exploration and analysis, Lustick looks at the impact of the “iron wall,” the Holocaust, and the “lobby” on the failure to bring about a two-state solution. He describes a one-state reality (not as a solution, but as a description), and suggests that Israeli annexation of parts (at least) of the West Bank would help move toward equal rights for Palestinians as citizens. This is a provocative logic, and perhaps optimistic, but should not distract from the valuable historical analysis. Shattered Hopes: Obama’s Failure to broker Israeli-Palestinian peace , by Josh Ruebner—This is a clearly written and comprehensive chronology and analysis of Obama’s first term engagement with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

DIONNE: I want to welcome everyone here today. I want to welcome back my dear colleague, Peter Beinart. We held this event for many reasons, one of which is we missed him so much and we wanted him back at Brookings. And also, my friend, Tod Lindberg. I want to begin by noting that, as a journalist, I always like to be on top of the news. So, this morning, by I suppose an act of the spirit, a review of this book popped into my email queue that Peter was not aware of. I actually think it is an important review because it says a lot about what Peter has accomplished in this book.
