  • Israel and the Post-American Middle East Why the Status Quo Is Sustainable
    Israel and the Post-American Middle East Why the Status Quo Is Sustainable By Martin Kramer Foreign Affairs July - August 2016 Was the feud between U.S. President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, first over settlements and then over Iran, a watershed? Netanyahu, it is claimed, turned U.S. support of Israel into a partisan issue. Liberals, including many American Jews, are said to be fed up with Israel’s “occupation,” which will mark its 50th anniversary next year. The weakening of Israel’s democratic ethos is supposedly undercutting the “shared values” argument for the relationship. Some say Israel’s dogged adherence to an “unsustainable” status quo in the West Bank has made it a liability in a region in the throes of change. Israel, it is claimed, is slipping into pariah status, imposed by the global movement for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS). Biblical-style lamentations over Israel’s final corruption have been a staple of the state’s critics and die-hard anti-Zionists for 70 years. Never have they been so detached from reality. Of course, Israel has changed—decidedly for the better. By every measure, Israel is more globalized, prosperous, and democratic than at any time in its history. As nearby parts of the Middle East slip under waves of ruthless sectarian strife, Israel’s minorities rest secure. As Europe staggers under the weight of unwanted Muslim migrants, Israel welcomes thousands of Jewish immigrants from Europe. As other Mediterranean countries struggle with debt and unemployment, Israel boasts a growing economy, supported by waves of foreign investment.

  • Conflit Israélo-Palestinien: Impasse Et Intérêts Politiques
    Université de Montréal Conflit israélo-palestinien: Impasse et intérêts politiques Par Rose-Hélène Beauséjour Département d'études internationales Faculté des arts et des sciences Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures en vue de l’obtention du grade de Maître ès sciences (M.Sc.) en Études internationales, Cultures, conflits et paix Novembre 2020 ©Rose-Hélène Beauséjour, 2020 Ultimement, c’est un peu ça le quotidien dans ce conflit qui ne sait que perdurer. Des petits-déjeuners pris dans un abri antimissile, des murs qui vibrent la nuit quand tout le monde dort, des parents inquiets, des enfants qui ne peuvent aller à l’école, des poissons qui seront épargnés aujourd’hui par les pêcheurs restés à la maison. Et des rêves brisés. RÉSUMÉ Plus de 70 ans après la création de l'État d'Israël, un quart de siècle depuis la signature des accords d'Oslo, les espoirs de paix entre l'État d'Israël et les Palestiniens s’estompent. Le conflit israélo-palestinien ne s’en trouve pas forcément exacerbé, mais plutôt bien enlisé. Étonnamment, la sortie de cette impasse ne semble pas être une priorité pour les actuels leaders politiques des parties au conflit, le premier ministre israélien, Benyamin Netanyahou, et le président de l'Autorité palestinienne, Mahmoud Abbas. S’appuyant sur des travaux en analyse de politique étrangère argumentant que les conflits interétatiques peuvent s’avérer un moyen de diversion utilisé par les leaders politiques pour esquiver des problèmes de politique interne, ce mémoire se penche sur les raisons qui pourraient expliquer l’intérêt des leaders israéliens et palestiniens à maintenir le statu quo dans le conflit.

  • JIPF-Bladet 2019-2
    Nr 2 Maj 2019 TVÅ FREDSAKTIVISTER HAR TYVÄRR LÄMNAT OSS. Izzy Young, JIPFs före detta ordförande och den israeliska författaren Amos Oz. Båda var mot ockupationen och för tvåstats- lösningen. Däremot har nu en överväldigande majoritet av de israeliska väljarna röstat för fortsättning av ockupationen. Majoriteten av denna majoritet är t.o.m. införstådd med att införliva Västbanken till Israel. Netanyahu, som kommer nu att bilda reger- ingen hade nämligen före valet lovat att annektera området C dvs. 60% av Västban- ken. Vad kommer att ändras, om han nu gör det? Tvåstatslösningen är ju praktiskt död sedan den planmässiga israeliska bosättningspolitiken har gjort en sammanhängande palestinsk stat omöjlig, och området C styrs av Israel i praktiken som del av Israel. Annektering vore dock den officiella israeliska dödsattesten för tvåstatslösningen och med det utvidgningen av den judiska staten till Jordanfloden. De potentiella politiska konsekvenserna är stora. En majoritet av minst 80% Judar hade den sionis- tiska ledaren Ben Gurion krävt för att säkra en demokratisk judisk stat. Följden blev den etniska rensningen av Palestina 1948 från dess palestinska urinvånare, det som Palestinierna kallar Nakba (katastrofen). Västvärlden teg då så nära efter förintelsen, judarnas stora katastrof (Se Ilan Pappe, Den etniska rensningen av Palestina). Det ansågs då handlar om dem (palestinierna) eller oss (judarna) på liv och död. Idag lever lika många Palestinier som Judar i det historiska Palestina. Kommer världssamfundet att acceptera en ny etnisk rensning eller en stat där en stor del av be- folkningen är rättslös? Ett demokratiskt Israel för alla dess invånare är ett tänkbart och ofta diskuterat alternativ.

  • Editorial Jerusalem on King Herod the Great, “The the King’S Illegal Journey King’S Final Journey,” Has Everything
    The Israel Museum’s current exhibit in Editorial Jerusalem on King Herod the Great, “The The King’s Illegal Journey King’s Final Journey,” has everything. Walking through its well-curated rooms, one encounters a wealth of stunning artifacts, from fragments of delicate floral murals to a reconstructed Throne Room and Herod’s marble bathtub, both from his Jericho palaces, to an astonishingly beautiful mosaic panel from lower Herodium. Panoramic media reconstructions of some of the major sites of this munificent master builder include Herodium (Herodian), Caesarea, Masada, the Jericho Winter Palaces, and Herod’s temple in Jerusalem. The exhibit culminates in a pièce de résistance, a room containing the three carved sarcophagi discovered in a mausoleum unearthed at Herodium in 2007, now pieced together (and reconstructed) after being smashed to smithereens some 2000 years ago, and shown in public for the first time. And through it all, the tale of Herod’s dramatic – indeed melodramatic – life. With all these riches from the most extensive (and expensive) archaeological exhibit ever mounted in Jerusalem, who could want for more? Once could – in fact and in justice – wish either for less or much more. Less, because many of these important artifacts were illegally excavated and illegally removed from sites in the occupied West Bank. Drawing close to many of the most stunning objects – including the tombs themselves – one finds a discreet acronym, SOAJS, standing for “the Administration of Judea and Samaria,” also listed in the catalogue among the lenders to the exhibit, along with more august institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.1 This “lending,” we might say crudely but aptly, carries a silent history of appropriation and plain theft.

    After the Fact: Potential Collectivities in Israel/Palestine By Shaul Setter A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Chana Kronfeld, Chair Professor Anne-Lise François Professor Michael Lucey Professor Stefania Pandolfo Fall 2012 After the Fact: Potential Collectivities in Israel/Palestine ©2012 by Shaul Setter 1 Abstract After the Fact: Potential Collectivities in Israel/Palestine by Shaul Setter Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor Chana Kronfeld, Chair This dissertation inquires into the question of collectivity in texts written in and about Israel/Palestine from the middle of the 20th century to the present day. In light of the current crisis in the configuration of both Israeli and Palestinian national collectivities, it explores the articulation of non-national collective formations in literary and cinematic texts. I read these texts not as sealed works that represent historically realized collectivities, but as creative projects whose very language and modalities speculatively constitute potential collectivities. Rejecting the progression of teleological history ruled by actualized facts, these projects compose a textual counter-history of Israel/Palestine. I therefore propose reading them outside of the national and state-centered paradigm that governs most political and cultural inquiries into Israel/Palestine, and suggest instead that they amount to an anti-colonial trajectory. The Hebrew and French texts discussed in the dissertation challenge their own fixed political positioning within the colonial matrix and offer a critique of European political dictates and artistic forms.

Most of the weddings were conducted by Orthodox rabbis not recognized by the Rabbinate. No official figure exists for the number of marriages performed in Israel outside the state authority, because couples who wed in such ceremonies cannot register as married at the Interior Ministry’s Population Registry.
