Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: ISR23829 Country: Israel Date: 2 February 2006 Keywords: Israel – Compulsory military service – Conscientious objectors – Exemptions – Penalties – Alternative military service This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. What is the current situation regarding compulsory military service in Israel? 2. Are there provisions for conscientious or moral objectors? 3. Can an individual claim and be granted an exemption from yearly service, on conscientious grounds or others, after the initial three years service is completed? (I.e. can you become a conscientious objector after your initial service?) 4. What are the penalties for refusing military call ups? 5. Is there any evidence that these are applied in anything other than a law of general application? 6. Can you request to serve in particular areas and not in others (i.e. not in patrolling Israeli Settler areas or Palestinian territories)? 7. What percentages of young people do not complete military service? 8. Is there any evidence to the claim that those who do not do military service are considered “unworthy” or “outsiders”? RESPONSE 1. What is the current situation regarding compulsory military service in Israel? According to an Economist Intelligence Unit risk briefing on Israel dated 6 January 2006: To counter the threat that it believes it faces from its neighbours, Israel has built up a strong military capability, based on conscription and a system of annual reserve duty. -

Presentations Charism and Spirituality
Marlette Black pbvm September 2009 Introduction I was asked by the Presentation Sisters in the Philippines to provide them with some input and reflections to assist them in making a Retreat on Presentation Charism and Spirituality. These are the copies of the notes I prepared for the Retreat and of the Reflection Sheets to be handed out after each presentation. The fourth presentation was to be a PowerPoint presentation on Global Presentation Charism: Engagement in the Mission of God. I have not included that session in this booklet as, since I was going to speak to the slides, there were no written notes to go with the PowerPoint presentation. Unfortunately, I was unable in the end to go to the Philippines for the Retreat. I did, however, share these notes with the Sisters there. It was thought that perhaps these notes would also be of use to others in reflecting on Presentation Charism and Spirituality. These are notes only, written to prepare myself to give the presentations. I would not have read these notes as lectures, but would have used them as a basis for each presentation. The retreat itself would have involved group interaction, PowerPoint presentations and prayers/rituals. The spirit of the group and their interactions with each other and with the material would have brought this material to life. I am grateful to our Sisters in the Philippines for the invitation to present material on Presentation Charism and Spirituality. It challenged me to further reflect on our Presentation tradition which remains relevant and transformative after 225 years. -
Israel Date: 20 August 2007
Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: ISR32073 Country: Israel Date: 20 August 2007 Keywords: Israel – Circassians – Military service – Alternative military service This response was prepared by the Research & Information Services Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. This research response may not, under any circumstance, be cited in a decision or any other document. Anyone wishing to use this information may only cite the primary source material contained herein. Questions 1. Could I please have any recent general information on the treatment of Circassians in Israel? 2. Please provide any information on whether there is any form of conscientious objection or alternative military service for Circassians in Israel. 3. Please provide any information on how refusal to undertake military service is perceived in Israel. RESPONSE 1. Could I please have any recent general information on the treatment of Circassians in Israel? Circassians represent a tiny minority of the population, and it is difficult to find general up to date information specifically regarding the treatment of Circassians in Israel. For administrative purposes, Circassians are usually included with the Druze community. According to the US Department of State, in the year 2006 the Israeli Druze community numbered approximately 100,000 and the Circassian community numbered some 3,000. In reports, Circassians are often included with the non-Jewish “Arab minority” population – “Druze, Bedouin, Circassian and otherwise”. -

Most of its citizens are either themselves new immigrants to the country or second and third generation immigrants. These immigrants came mostly from Eastern Europe, many of them following the Holocaust, or from Arab countries, many as refugees. Thus, themes of trauma and of persecution are part of the experience, or the family or collective legacy of many Israelis (Elon, 1971). As well, the integrity of the diverse cultural heritage of Jews from all over the world has been a major concern that the Israeli society had to struggle with. Another significant characteristic of Israel has to do with its security situation. During its 54 years of existence, it has undergone seven wars with its Arab neighbors; these were major threats to its very existence. -

Music in Conflict: Palestine, Israel, and the Politics of Aesthetic Production
Music in Conflict: Palestine, Israel, and the Politics of Aesthetic Production Nili Belkind Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree Of Doctor of Philosophy In the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Nili Belkind All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Music in Conflict: Palestine, Israel and the Politics of Aesthetic Production Nili Belkind This is an ethnographic study of the fraught and complex cultural politics of music making in Palestine-Israel in the context of the post-Oslo era. I examine the politics of sound and the ways in which music making and attached discourses reflect and constitute identities, and also, contextualize political action. Ethical and aesthetic positions that shape contemporary artistic production in Israel-Palestine are informed by profound imbalances of power between the State (Israel), the stateless (Palestinians of the occupied Palestinian territories), the complex positioning of Israel’s Palestinian minority, and contingent exposure to ongoing political violence. Cultural production in this period is also profoundly informed by highly polarized sentiments and retreat from the expressive modes of relationality that accompanied the 1990s peace process, strategic shifts in the Palestinian struggle for liberation, which is increasingly taking place on the world stage through diplomatic and cultural work, and the conceptual life and currency Palestine has gained as an entity deserving of statehood around the world. The ethnography attends to how the conflict is lived and expressed, musically and discursively, in both Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) of the West Bank, encompassing different sites, institutions and individuals. I examine the ways in which music making and attached discourses reflect and constitute identities, with the understanding that musical culture is a sphere in which power and hegemony are asserted, negotiated and resisted through shifting relations between and within different groups. -

Partners of AFSC's Israel Program.Pdf
AFSC’s program in Israel is designed to counter militarization and promote the equal rights of all citizens of Israel. AFSC has chosen to work through the following partner organizations: The Druze Initiative Committee The Druze Initiative Committee supports those Druze citizens of Israel who refuse to serve in the military. The Arab Druze minority lived in historic Palestine on the current territory of Israel before Zionist immigration began. Already in the 1930s, the Jewish leadership in Palestine were making efforts to distance the Druze community from the rest of the Palestinian community through presenting the Druze faith as unique and distinct from Islam and exerting influence over the Druze leadership. After the creation of the state of Israel, this policy of divide and rule continued and the Druze were singled out for greater financial and political support than other Palestinians. They were registered as a separate ethno-religious group in Israeli official identification documents (“Druze”, not “Arab”), and a separate education system was created for them. A further step in their separation from other Palestinians was the introduction of military conscription for Druze men in 1956. The Druze community showed considerable resistance to conscription, and within 2 years the first Druze youth organization supporting refusal of military service was established, and from it grew the Druze Initiative Committee which is still active. Today, the Druze Initiative Committee supports Druze conscientious objectors, and is also involved in other political and social work such as opposing the confiscation of Druze land for the expansion of Jewish towns. Members of the Druze initiative committee in a demonstration against land confiscation Over the years, Druze refusers suffered harsh treatment from the military system.
